Tombstone cleanup modified to handle very large volume environments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Cassandra nodes were periodically suffering from an out of memory condition. This was traced to tumbling windows creating too many tombstones for Cassandra to clean up effectively when running in a very high volume environment with a short tumbling time. This has been resolved by modifying the procedure away from using individual tombstones to instead use range tombstones which will continuously supersede the previous tombstone so there is never an opportunity for them to build up.

Performance improvements for action check-in
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The process of 'Saving As' an action to a higher ruleset, Saving, and then running Check-in was taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to redundant page copy activities and performance has been improved by updating the implementation.

Prediction outcome response timing updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Predictions using a response timeout were not emitting a negative response ('NoResponse') when the specified waiting time expired. This was traced to the the outcome and response timeout values being overridden while triggering responses for multi stage predictions along with chained predictions. This has been resolved by modifying the flow to emit each outcome as it is received and by adding the dataflow trigger in the function so that it does not override the values in case of chained predictions.

Performance improvements for stale thread warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Stale thread warnings were causing performance issues during dataflow run execution. Stale thread/slow component warnings are added as part of the dataflow execution when a processing thread takes more than 5 minutes to process a single dataflow record. The stacktrace of the dataflow thread is added as part of the warning for debugging purposes, but in some scenarios the stacktrace can become very large. This has been resolved by removing the stacktraces from the warning, improving the query logic, and adding the run ID to the exception method to assist if there is an error.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An enhancement has been added to extend the support for document tags, including showing tags added to a case in a workpool other than the application workpool; showing tags from other operators such as partner sales rep, sales reps, etc; and displaying tags in the "recently added by me" section.

Trailing "/" added to public links for SSO use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Links generated using pyWorkLinkWithLabel were not working with SSO due to not having a trailing "/" on the URL. This has been corrected by adding code to append the "/" if the public link url doesn't end with it.

Push notification of shape-created child case opens correct case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In a scenario with two cases, CaseA and its child case, CaseB, when CaseB was created from CaseA with a standard shape and a push notification was sent right after creation, the "Custom message" notification received on a mobile device opened CaseA instead of CaseB. If CaseB was created as a standalone case, the push notification opened it properly. This was traced to an edge case where the Primary.pzInsKey was empty because the child case was not available in database when the push notification payload was created by push shape, leading to the CaseID retrieved by getInstanceHandleFromPage to fetch the parent Case ID instead. This has been resolved by modifying the process to get the pzInsKey from the step page.

DataSync SynchronizationResponseStreamer logging enhancements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The PegaRULES log contained "Response page does not match request, will generate failure response" errors even though no functional impact was observed. In order to enhance troubleshooting, additional DEBUG logs have been to DataSyncHandler, SynchronizationResponseStreamer is now logged on INFO level and contains more detail, and the error message has been modified to "Cannot prepare continuation response because offline package was stale. Will generate reset schedule response." to be more informative.

Map address control works in read only view
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The pyTrackingMap control was not showing position when used in read-only mode. This was traced to a missed use case, and was caused by the property handle being considered in order to get the value of the current address, but in the case of read-only the property handle was empty and the address field was considered. To resolve this, in case of a read-only track map, the addressproperty value will be considered instead of the property handle.

Handling added for missing div when opening work object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In mobile offline app, opening a work object in a specific scenario for the second time resulted in an endless busy indicator. It was not possible to navigate away, and the app had to be closed and reopened to continue. Investigation showed that some app sections had an action that tried to load a harness section where one specific div was missing, and this has been resolved by updating reloadSectionOSCOHandler to handle the missing div in the failure callback. Additionally a console.error() will appear for the missing section.
