Resolved startup error related to business calendar object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An error recorded in the log file when the server started was traced to a cache update that removed the old business calendar object and added the new business calendar object to the business cal list. This has been resolved by updating the system to replace the business calendar object instead of removing the old one from the cache first.

Handling added to correct class setting during DX-API
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a DX-API call was made (assignments/{ID}/actions/{actionID}/refresh) the ApplyPageInstructions activity was updating the case with an incorrect class, causing the rules from the wrong class to be picked and blocking the case progression. This has been resolved by setting the proper parameter Param.workPage while calling pzApplyPageInstructions from pzUpdateCaseWithRequestBody to calculate the proper class for the content.

Null check added for missing compiler path
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrading from Pega 7.3 to Pega 8.6, libraries were not loading correctly and a java error was seen. This was traced to the compiler default path values not getting picked from DSS / settings->compiler->Default paths, which was caused by a null value for the DASS setting in the systemSettings map. To resolve this, a null check has been added and an update has been made to use getEngineDynamic to ensure this setting is picked on node startup.

Handling updated for validating properties with a FieldValue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Running a report which included a property calculated by a Declare Expression generated an excessive number of log messages indicating "Error occurred while executing forward chaining on page 'pyReportContentPage.pxResults". Degraded system performance, stack overflow, and other similar issues were seen. This was traced to an infinite loop that resulted from a missed use case for a Report Definition with a Target property of a Declare Expression with FieldValue, and has been resolved by disabling autochain while validating properties with a FieldValue.

Externally mapped class hierarchy given precedence over default mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
If a series of properties in the same class hierarchy were explicitly mapped to columns in the external database table and shared the names of some of the database columns, the Obj-save failed. Sporadically when the system restarted, the properties that share the names of the database columns were mapped to those columns. The code has been updated to ensure that external mapping takes precedence over PRPC's default property-column mapping

ServicePackage threads properly released
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After completing a system stress test, the requestor pool threads for the ServicePackage were not released. Investigation showed that the threads were waiting for Data Pages to be loaded in the background even though there was no background job corresponding to those data pages in the Async Services pool. This has been resolved by making an update to avoid removing the object handlers when the load-datapage finds that an entry exists with a NOT_STARTED state.

Handling added to StreamChangeTracker for non-String mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Incorrect StreamChangeTracker mode properties were being tracked for value changes. Investigation showed this was due to the StreamChangeTracker.trackValueChanges API tracking value changes on properties of mode page and page list, which resulted in logging a WrongModeException in the logs. This has been resolved by updating the behavior of the StreamChangeTracker.trackValueChanges API to return false when value change tracking is invoked for a property other than mode String.

ClipboardPageImpl handling updated for virtual list variable mRepresentativeRow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
A Concurrent Modification exception was seen after update. This was traced to the ClipboardPageImpl use of a virtual list variable "mRepresentativeRow" in the "InMemoryStringTable" class's method where it was iterating the "InMemoryStringTable" while the same list("InMemoryStringTable") was being modified by another thread at the same time. This has been resolved by modifying the Java file InMemoryStringTable to create a copy of the variable mRepresentativeRow to make sure that while iterating over it, the application will iterate only on a copied variable and not the original variable to prevent the concurrent modification exception.

Rule-Service-Java authentication in a stateless session re-enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When exposing Rule-Service-Java through a service package, a proxy jar file is created. If the 'Requires Authentication' option was checked on the service package, the generated java did not contain the required code to pass through the username/password and authentication failed. This method of passing credentials via proxy method parameters was previously withdrawn for the stateless processing mode, but the java code has been reinstated to enable authentication for a stateless session if this method is desired.

Links to specifications persist appropriately
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When linking Rules to Specifications, check-ins of some unrelated rules deleted the link. Investigation showed the deletion happened in the pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn activity, and was caused by an empty parameter page name that caused pcInsKey to not have a value, so all links returned by "Obj-Browse" were later deleted. To resolve this, an update has been made to insure the "Pass current parameter page" option in step 2 of the Connect REST PostCheckIn activity is enabled so that the downstream activity pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn behaves as expected.
