Node stability improved when adding relevant records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
A node was going down after maxing out the database connection pool whenever the inbound service call was invoked. This was traced to several relevant record-related database queries being invoked within a short time for marking 'when' rules referenced in the proposition filter rule as relevant records. This has been resolved by adding 'when' rules as Relevant Records based on a DSS and not adding auto-generated 'when' rules at all.

Materialization uses time limit boundary for query
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After turning on Materialization for pyIHSummary and OfferOutcomesForPast45Days datasets, an SQL query was taking an excessive amount of time and causing multiple alerts in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to database partitioning, specifically that running a query where the pyOutcomeTime range spanned multiple partitions was causing the indexes for all partitions in the range to be opened. To resolve this, the query has been updated with a DSS to support a partition size of min(pxOutcomeTime) to limit the time range to querying day by day, or hour by hour, or any other chronology unit specified. If there are no records for the current limit, then it will look at the next partition. This should prevent the query from needing to open more than 1 or 2 partitions.

DataSet preview will use date instead of datetime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
While using a DataSet preview functionality, the date appeared as reduced by one day. This has been resolved by parsing date as 'date' instead of 'datetime' to avoid issues with timezone interactions.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
The start time of the dataflow was displayed in GMT instead of the operator locale timezone. This has been corrected.

Updated report handling for simulations using database output
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When running a simulation with a database table as the output destination, the pxObjClass property was not populating with a value in the results. This caused sub-reports to not be populated with data. Investigation showed that issue happened when the simulation output destination database table was inferred as an external table due to not having an exposed column for pzinskey. To resolve this, the pxObjClass and pxCreateDateTime properties, which were added to simulation output destination tables for compatibility with Report browser, will not be added to those tables when they are created. Instead, to address compatibility issues of simulation output destination classes with Report browse in the Customer Decision Hub, the pyDefaultSummaryReport has been brought up into the Data-Decision-StrategyExecution-ResultOutput class from the @baseclass.

Enhancements added for very heavy use of strategy decision logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Recent updates were made to improve memory performance for scenarios where a single request primary page had tens of thousands of pages under an embedded page list property and the decision logic involved a strategy running on all the pages in that page list. To further improve performance, the array iterator has been modified and a DSS has been added that makes the threshold (50) in SSAExecutionContextIteratorFactory tunable.

Strategy handling updated for very large systems using IH summary
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When a Strategy in a Real-time dataflow used IH Summary on a system with more than 5000 groups for one eventKey, the message "Error retrieving aggregates from Cassandra KVS" intermittently appeared. Investigation showed that if the number of result rows was greater than the FETCH_SIZE (set to 5000), it meant another read to Cassandra was required and an exception was generated. To resolve this, updates have been made so that instead of returning maps, the system will return iterators and change them to map on the calling thread.

Support added for expression in strategy scorecards
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When invoking REST against a dataflow that had a strategy containing a scorecard that used an expression and the "Include model explanations option" was enabled in the Strategy configuration, the system failed with the error "PropertyValueInvalid .pxMaxScore Cannot cast the value (unknown) to double". This was traced to the Scorecard explanations failing during serialization when an expression was used, and has been corrected.

Resolved Intermittent Access Group Issue for GetBundleEventDecisionDetails
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using a REST service that calls the GetBundleEventDecisionDetails activity and dataflow to send the treatment in multiple channels, intermittent access issue related errors appeared while running the activity in logs for multiple customers. This was traced to a missed use case for authentication, and has been resolved.

DelegatedRules refresh icon made accessible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
When using Accessibility, the refresh icon in pzDelegatedRules was being read as "Link". This has been corrected by adding text for the refresh icon.
