REST authentication settings use fully qualified name for resolution
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The application setting used in REST connectors for authentication was resolving to similarly-named rules instead of matching the exact name of the rule. This has been resolved by enhancing pzGetSettingID to use both parts of the fully qualified name (name and category) provided by the pzSettingsORA control when determining which setting from the report to return.

Authentication requirement updated for CallConnector
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, invoking a REST API call during SSO login which eventually called pxCallConnector (Final Activity) in @baseclass Pega-RulesEngine failed at the CallConnector step. This was caused by a change in recent Pega versions which enabled authentication for this activity, and has been resolved by marking the activity as internal and disabling the authentication requirement.

Performance improvements for save-as
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Performance issues were seen when using save-as for rules such as Declare expression, When rules, activity, etc. This was traced to a very large number of extra database queries that were being executed while building the Declarative Cache. To resolve this, an update has been made so the queries used for the Declarative Cache will only be executed when required.

Support added for special characters in XML stream rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When using an XML Stream rule, node values were encoded for a broader set of characters than was required to create properly formed XML. Special characters were converted to ASCII characters when setting the XML to a property with Property-Set-XML. When the mode of the element was changed from Standard to Literal XML, the special character was retained but the element tag itself was missing. This has been resolved by adding a new "XML" encoding format in StreamBuilder. In ResponseTag.appendUnformattedValue(), use the XML mode when resolving to "NORMAL" format and the JSP base class is "Rule-Obj-XML". In StreamBuilderTools, the system will not encode '+' symbols when in XML mode.

Clarified SLA calendar error message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
If a calculated SLA date is out of calendar end date range, the error "Perhaps the business calendar of year XXXX is missing" is generated. When the provided start date is not the business day and the SLA was calculated by using a custom activity using addTime, isBusinessDay and pxGetSpecifiedTimeOnDate function, this message showed the current year calendar. When checked in the tracer the exception was thrown with the correct year calendar, but when the exception was written as an alert the message was changed and provided the misleading error on the screen. This has been resolved by addressing the misleading error message.

UseNoCacheHeaders default expiration set to "0"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When the prconfig/HTTP/UseNoCacheHeaders/default was set true it used the value "Expires: Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT". This has been updated to the more commonly used setting "0".

Oracle temporary space explicitly freed after writing LOBs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Oracle temporary space used to write the LOB was not freed up after writing records to Log-Service-File when using OJDBC8 or OJDBC10 versions and the table involved had inline BLOB storage such as small blob tables like Log-service-file (2-4kB blobs). This did not occur when using OJDBC7, but investigation with Oracle could not determine why the older version did not have this issue. This issue has been resolved by explicitly freeing the LOB space with a call to free() / freeTemporary() , a utility for LOB objects that was introduced in JDBC 4.
