Refinements made to MarkerNode memory use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Significant memory usage can be observed when data join in strategies are missing the join conditions. E.g., when the primary source in the strategy can have up to 300 or even more propositions, the join without the join condition would perform a cartesian product with possibly up to 400 or even more records returned. This may cause performance degradation. To guard against this, an update has been made that seeks to prevent repetitive markers being accumulated under a MarkerNode while trying not to rely on any implementation of equality and hashCode for individual marker implementations.

HandleResponses updated for use with optimized campaign
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.4, responses were not processed in the pxHandleResponses Data flow if the "pyCampaignOptimization" flag was set to true. This was traced to a missed use case for an optimized campaign, and has been resolved by modifying the condition in HandleResponses.

Node stability improved when adding relevant records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
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 8.5.4
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.

Data Flow StartTime uses locale timezone
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
The start time of the dataflow was displayed in GMT instead of the operator locale timezone. This has been corrected.

DataSet preview will use date instead of datetime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
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.

Value Finder updated for use with external Cassandra nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attempting to use the Value Finder feature resulted in the error "Running Simulation is not possible because the required services are not available. Contact your System Administrator to enable the data flow and decisioning data store services." Analysis traced this to a check which identifies whether there is more than one internal node available for CDH/ DSS node. Since there were only external nodes available in this scenario and no internal nodes, the method returned false and returned the error when the CDH / VF page was launched. To resolve this, the check has been modified to allow for external Cassandra.

Special characters escaped for use in "is in List" lookups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After creating a specific criterion on any proposition using a string property, the "Is In List" operator, and a customer list with one value containing a "$", clicking save or check in resulted in the exception error "Problem invoking function: pega_decisionengine_propositionfilterfua.pzPropositionFilterMethodBody--(PublicAPI,ClipboardPage) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Matcher.java:857) ". This has been resolved by escaping regular expression control characters in string replacement, which will allow the use of characters such as the $ sign for "is in List" lookups.
