GRS support added to Display name and Reply to for SendEmailNotification
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After upgrade, it was not possible to send email notifications when using a Datapage property in the email account rule. Investigation showed that there was a custom activity being used to call the SendEmailNotification activity and set the pyNotifyAccountName value as email account name by enabling Pass current parameter page, and the custom call was not functioning due to the SendEmailNotification activity being completely refactored in recent versions of the platform where GRS support (which was not a documented feature) was removed. For better backwards compatibility, this issue has been resolved by adding GRS support to Display name (pyFromFullName) and Reply to (pyReplyTo).

Archiving updated to include pxobjclass in CTE column list
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After enabling the case archival feature on a casetype, cases were getting stuck in the Archive-Ready state while being archived, and a 'column not found' error was seen. Investigation showed that the generated SQL statement used to retrieve the resolved case instances used a common table expression (CTE) whose columns were inskey, insclass, and parentinskey, and the query that referenced the CTE was attempting to compare the column pxobjclass when pxobjclass did not exist in the CTE's column list. To resolve this, the CTE column list has been updated to pzinskey, pxobjclass, and parentinskey to prevent the 'column not found error' from occurring, and the query that referenced the CTE was also updated to use the correct column names and aliases.

#resolvedissues note:Attachments successfully fetched with CMIS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.5, trying to fetch an attachment from CMIS storage and attach it to an email generated an exception. This was traced to a repository name null check which always evaluated to true when used with CMIS, and has been resolved by removing the null check from abstractRepo.

Timezone.getDefault function replaced for performance improvement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Blocking threads were seen around the GregorianCalendarFactory.clearObject(Object) function, leading to an adverse impact on the performance.TimeZone.getDefault() is a synchronized method call, and under high load this method caused contention when more date-related APIs were invoked. To resolve this, Timezone.getDefault() has been removed and the function has been assigned to a static variable used in the clearObject() API.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

New Rule-Utility-Function added to allow customizing filename formatting in repository
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using S3 as file storage, uploading a file with a name such as "sample.tar.gz" resulted in the file name in the repository being formatted as "sample.tar_.gz" instead of the expected "sample_.tar.gz". This was caused by the handling in pzSaveToRepository, which was meant to include the CaseID for the customer use case of same-name attachments on every instance of a case. In order to handle attachments with multiple file extensions such as "<FILE_NAME>.tar.gz", the logic for the fileName formatting has been moved from pzSaveToRepository to the new Rule-Utility-Function pyFormatAttachmentName so that is is possible to override and customize the behavior.

Check added to minimize Obj-Open-By-Handle error logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using a Data Type with the "Automatically generate a unique id " option, calling the Save-DataPage method by using the savable data page of the data type finished correctly but showed Obj-Open-By-Handle errors on PegaRules.log. Investigation showed the exception was thrown when running the save plan from DataPageSaverImpl: while attempting to run the save plan, the system does not know whether a parameter (pyGUID in this case) will be required to run the save plan or not, meaning that it can't detect any possible error in DataPageSaverImpl. The implementation instead makes a call to db.open to check if an instance exists and hence logs are thrown. To resolve the error logging, a check has been added: if the save-to class has an autogen key and the savable data page instance doesn't have the autogen key in it, the system will directly call pxCreateRecord. This will avoid a call to db.open to check if instance exists and hence no failed logs will be thrown. This partial change will work only for classes having an autogen key and in cases where the page is trying to create a record by intentionally not passing the key.

Updated handling for validating/saving circumstanced rule on branch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Using 'save as' for an already circumstanced rule with a new property/template caused the Rule-.DictionaryValidation activity to register the error "StandardValidate-CircumPropAlreadyDefined". The same activity Step did not throw an error when saving into Branch. This was traced to the ruleset name not being the same for the branch ruleset due to having _BRANCH_Branch-Name appended to its name, and has been resolved by adding a condition to check for circumstanced rule in a branch.

Updated JSON DT nested page property handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
In a JSON data transform, when using an "Update page" step on a single-page property, as a child step of an "Append and map to" step where a page list property is given, the page list was populated with only one result but the single-page property was treated like a page list and received multiple results. This has been resolved by updating the ClipboardJSONDeserializer implementation and downstream abstractions to support "clipboard only" relations as properties in nested Page Lists.
