pxIdentifier dynamically set for DecisionData while using GOS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When using a Decision Data component in a strategy which was wrapped with Globally Optimized Strategy (GOS), no results were generated from the DataJoin shape under optimized execution. Investigation showed this was caused by a missing .pxIdentifier for the DecisionData shape during GOS execution. There was a workaround of unselecting the checkbox on the Advanced tab in the Decision Data component, but this has been resolved by updating the strategy kernel service so it will dynamically construct the pxIdentifier based on the skills assignment module (SSA).

Correct service instance name passed for data flow in DSMStatus
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When using the Connect-HTTP service "DSMStatus" to provide the node and status information as seen on the various tabs of the Designer Studio > Decisioning > Infrastructure > Services landing page, using DataFlow as the service parameter for the HTTP service method resulted in an empty response when the expectation was to get the information regarding the cluster details of Dataflow node type. This was traced to the service instance name not being parsed correctly when used for Data Flow services, and has been resolved by ensuring the correct service instance name is passed for this use.

Updated context handling for executing data transforms in dataflows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When performing a sort operation in a data transform on a page list and invoking the Data transform through a Data flow, a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException was generated on the sort step even though the data was correct. Investigation showed that the dataflows were using a different execution context than the context used for regular activity execution. An update has been made to ensure the correct context is being used while executing data transforms in dataflows.

Updated COUNT logic for strategies with ssavm set to true
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
An error was seen when attempting to save a strategy after setting ssavm to true, indicating an issue in the “COUNT” method in Group By shape. Since the source field is not used and does not need to be evaluated here, the system has been updated to ignore the source field if the operation is COUNT.

Statistic rounding error in ADMSnapshot Agent with Oracle corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
While running the ADMSnapshot Agent, the exception "internal.mgmt.Executable) ERROR com.pega.decision.adm.client.ADMException: Failed to complete ADM Data Mart snapshot" was seen. This was traced to an issue with the rounding of performance statistics when using Oracle, and has been resolved.

Decision Management book updated for additional NLP troubleshooting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Troubleshooting articles have been added to the Decision Management book which address the most common issues encountered when working with the NLP capability of Pega Platform, including topic and entity detection and email parser. These tips can assist with issues such as a node running out of memory due to having a large number of custom Ruta scripts that use REGEX pattern matching.

Delayed Learning works correctly with Volume Constraints
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When running an outbound campaign using NBA Designers predictions and delayed learning in conjunction with volume constraints, the adaptive models ended up with incorrect feedback if the prediction had an Alternative label configured with a defined waiting window. This has been resolved with the addition of a new flag 'isVolumeConstraintEnabled' during dataflow creation which will check for volume constraint, and a filter in HandleResponses for that flag.

Modified batch requestor handling to ensure cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
A large buildup of batch requestors was seen, and restarting the node did not clear it. Investigation showed that in the case of one class reading a DSS value, a Pega requestor was being created when it was unable to retrieve any Pega context, and this requestor was not cleaned up afterwards. To resolve this, an update has been made to the way the requestor and Pega context is being created along with ensuring it will be cleaned up properly after use.
