Resolved classcast exception with assembled HTML controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A classcast exception was being generated on login. Investigation showed the Static Assembler was unexpectedly using a different Assembler to assemble the Html control rule. Standard behavior is that StreamBuilderAssembler assembles controls of type StreamBuilder and ControlAssemblerForVTable assembles controls of type ControlBuilder. In this case, static assembly for HTML controls using VTable was performed using StreamBuilderAssembler, causing a classcast exception when using VTable because the instance of the generated.html class was incorrectly inheriting from StreamBuilder (the parent class of ControlBuilder) instead of ControlBuilder which is the specified interface in the generated.html Java code. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip rules of type 'Rule-HTML-Property'(control) during Static Assembly.

React-based UI app alias supports space or dash
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using the "React-based UI" (Beta test version) in App Studio, portal creation was successful but previewing the portal showed only a blank page and a 404 error code was generated. Switching to "Server rendered UI" rendered the portal as expected. Investigation showed that the alias had a space in the name which was handled as a dash (-), and this issue has been resolved by adding support for using a dash in the app alias.

SOAP service exception resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
A SOAP service created using the Service wizard resulted in a "Caught exception building SOAP request envelope" error when attempting to invoke the generated service/WSDL from the Soap integration wizard or SOAPUI. This was traced to an unexpected conflict with work done earlier in XSDConstants.java around name case matching and certain methods in XSDTreeViewUtils used to generate the attribute text "name" during SOAP service WSDL generation, and has been resolved.

Listener with MSGraph reads all subfolders
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When an email account had more than 10 subfolders, configuring an email listener with MSGraph to read subfolders 11+ was not working. This was traced to the MSGraph API displaying only the top 10 folders under one parent folder by default, preventing the Email Listener from reading folders beyond that when a MSGraph configuration was used for inbound email. To resolve this, a filter has been implemented across all the pages to read all of the folders.

Email listener update for Microsoft Exchange server
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, TooManyObjectsOpenedException/MapiExceptionSessionLimit errors were seen when starting the email listener. Investigation showed that when the listener was started, two sessions were getting opened and then not closed properly. This was a method originally intended to allow the system to re-use the session to minimize performance overhead, but it is not well-suited for use with Microsoft exchange server as the Exchange server is unable to cleanup idle sessions. As a result, too many MAPI sessions were opened and led to an authentication exception while opening additional sessions. To resolve this, an update has been made so the system will close the session while the listener sleeps. This stop, restart and graceful shutdown scenario for single threaded email listener scenarios will create a new session every time and close it properly.

Fallback added for calculating date after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, the date value returned from Stored procedure failed to be mapped to "date" type property. Stored Procedure was used to get data from an external Oracle database and then handed to a Data Transform to map the values. When the Data was fetched from the store procedure, the date properties were mapping correctly, but when these values were mapped from the clipboard into the usecase using a Data Transform, the data for date properties was becoming corrupted. This was traced to logic differences between the versions: 8.2 generated resolveToDate while in 8.5 generates resolveToBigDecimal. In this case, resolve to big decimal was being called with aType='D' and aValue=20200918, and the 20200918 number was being interpreted as days since 1 Jan 1970 instead of as a date. This has been resolved by adding a fallback for the date calculation.

Compiler jars load as expected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The system was not able to pick up the Default Paths and Default Classes arguments in Configure->System->Settings->Compiler tab when attempting to use a third-party custom jar file. This was an unintended consequence of work done to address performance issues when a requested DASS instance was missing, and has been resolved by ensuring that null values are not cached where are are lookup failures. In addition, enhanced logging has been added to SystemSettingsImpl.

Check added for string vs boolean for pzscan JSON
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When calling the CloudRemoteMaintenance/Work-/pzscan API, the response JSON had boolean values in the form of String which caused the JSON parsing to fail. The system was using ClipboardProperty.toStringValue() while generating outbound JSON from the clipboard page, which did not correctly interpret a boolean value. To resolve this, a check has been added that will assess the value and invoke ClipboardPage.toBoolean() when needed so that the value is converted as per type before generating the JSON.

Improved resolved rules cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When Rule resolution iterated over a candidate list to fetch a candidate, performance issues were seen on very large sites. To resolve this, an enhancement has been added that will cache the resolved virtual table entries to optimize performance in high demand use cases like DSM.
