Resolved PRQueueLockException
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
A Class Queue not found exception resulted when an SLA was deleted on the same transaction where it was created when deferred save was used. This was an inadvertent side effect of work done on the QueueManager implementation to invalidate previously deferred operations for item and schedule removal, and has been resolved by clearing the processing state for PRQueueLockException when an item reservation fails.

Monthly agents run correctly on non-English locales
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Nodes with non-English locales were not starting when using an Agent with a monthly execution pattern. This was due to incorrect handling of the user locale, and has been resolved.

MimeTypeHandler added for cloud downloads on mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When using the Pega cloud storage repository (Application -> Integration -> Content Storage) with the Google Chrome browser on an android device, it was possible to upload attachments but re-downloading the attachments failed. Investigation showed that this was due to the content-type appearing as application/* so Chrome on mobile was not able to identify the file type. This was a missed use-case for returnFileForDownload(), and has been resolved by setting the system to use MimeTypeHandler for getting the content type.

Support added for allow list for LaxRedirectStrategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When using Connect REST with POST to access a third-party service deployed on multiple nodes, the load balancer sometimes replied 302 with Location header. The ability to allow the REST connector to automatically follow these redirects even in the case of POST messages is supported by Apache http client via LaxRedirectStrategy, but REST Connectors need both rule and engine enhancements to allow for this. To support this use, an allow list has been implemted for hostnames. This will allow the connector to be configured to follow the LaxRedirectStrategy only when the hostname of the redirect location is in the allow list. The default will continue to block the redirect.

Improved resolved rules cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
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.

Agent Schedule "Processed On" updated to allow extended schedule dates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When scheduling or creating a queue entry in System-Queue-DefaultEntry using the Queue-For-Agent method in an activity, setting a value for "MinimumAgeForProcessing" of more than 24 days was passed as '2.074e+9' (the value in milliseconds). Because the parameter is interpreted as an integer value, this number caused an overflow Integer.MAX_VALUE error that then returned the incorrect value of 0 and events ended up scheduled for the current day. The queue item was created correctly when "MinimumAgeForProcessing" was less than or equal to 24 days. This has been resolved by updating the logic for reading the value.

Updated JSON DT nested page property handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
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 pagelist property is given, the pagelist was populated with only one result but the single-page property was treated like a pagelist 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 PageLists.

Mountain timezone format updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
If an operator was created with any calendar instance timezone mapped to "Canada/Mountain" and made unavailable for the current period, routing an assignment to that operator using the standard ToCurrentOperator activity resulted in a null pointer error when the Rule-Utility-Function was executed to find a substitute operator. This was traced to the timezone format Input to DateTimeUtils API (parseDateTimeString) having the wrong timezone, for example, 20200819T080000.000 MDT (CA), and has been resolved by modifying the locale XMLs to remove (CA) from zone code so that MDT (CA) is updated as MDT.

Requestor details shown in Pr_perf_stats table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When using a Custom table with the requestor details inserted in the ApplicationSetup activity, comparing the passivated requestors from standard table Pr_perf_stats showed that sometimes requestor details were not present in table Pr_perf_stats. This was traced to the the column value for standard table being greater than the column value for the columns pxDecryptCount, pxDecryptCPU, pxDecryptElapsed, pxEncryptElapsed, pxEncryptCPU, and pxEncryptCount. Database numeric column size is (9,6) whereas other numeric columns have size (18,6). To resolve this, the table scripts have been modified to increase the column size from (9,6) to (18,6).

Optimizing helper class enhanced to handle external databases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Running a BIX extract that included a manifest for a target database was resulting in a null pointer exception for the manifest extraction. Attempting to generate the DDL for the manifest table also failed. This was traced to an issue with the helper class using a hardcoded default database for forming the queries, causing it to ignore the DB config/DADN/prconfig for the Oracle database and form a query using the PegaRules' database credentials. This only occurred when trying to do external database operations on a different DB platform; Oracle PegaRules worked as expected with an Oracle external DB and Postgres Pegarules worked with a Postgres external DB, but mixing Postgres PegaRules and an Oracle external DB would result in the null pointer error. To resolve this, the helper class has been enhanced to work with external databases by passing the database name as a parameter so it will properly calculate the query based on the type of target. The default for 'database/oracle/allowOptimization' is set to false: additional database privileges must be added or some configurations must be updated to provide the information needed in lieu of the privileges before making use of these optimizations. In addition, an error in the name of the class has also been corrected and is now available as PerformanceHelper rather than the previous "PerformaneHelper".
