Removed services check and added warnings for simulations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Attempting to run an audience simulation resulted in the error "Running simulations is not possible, because the required services are not available. Contact your system administrator to enable the data flow and real-time data grid services". Investigation showed the @DsmServices.pxHasFunctionalNodes("DataFlow","Batch") function call contained in the 'when' rule pyUnavailableDecisionServices was returning false even if all the nodes were in the cluster and all the DSM Services were in NORMAL status. To resolve this, the services check has been disabled and the simulation run will show a warning or fail if a data flow run is queued for more than 30 secs or if there is an issue with querying the underlying metrics storage.

Corrected report with combo chart in Case Manager portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding the required columns a report in the report viewer and then adding a combo chart and dropping the summarized column on the y-axes and group by column on X-axis, clicking on "done editing" generated the error "pyUI.pyChart: You must have at least two Aggregate Columns in the chart series .pyUI.pyChart.pyDataAxis(1).pyChartOutputType: A Combo chart requires at least 1 Chart Type be a Column". Investigation showed that the second DataAxis page was getting deleted in the pzCleanChartDataAxis activity, causing the validation to fail. This has been resolved by adding a 'when' rule to "pzChartIsSingleY" that checks for "SingleYAxisClustered" chart and refers the same in pzCleanChartDataAxis to skip the data axis deletion.

Step staus fail logic updated to handle agent activity exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Attempting to execute an advanced agent containing logic that set a step status to fail resulted in the error "Agent activity disabled due to execution errors; ErrorMsg: unable to execute agent: Cannot obtain a lock on instance as Requestor already has the lock ". This was traced to a backwards compatibility issue with previous work done to handle cases where agent activity requires authentication and agent has "bypass auth" flag set to false. Agent activity is not allowed to execute by the engine, and to show this scenario as exception case instead of showing it as running in admin studio, changes were made to rely on step status as the engine internally sets step status to false in this case. However, this inadvertently affected use cases where agent activity sets the status as fail in its logic. To resolve this, the system has been updated to handle the exception case and not consider StepStatus.

Configuration added for extending queue processor timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Alerts for queue processor (QP) items which took more than 15 minutes to run could result in the system marking the node as 'unhealthy'. In environments with Pega Health Check enabled, this would shut down the node gracefully. It was not possible to change this default as it was hardcoded. In order to support systems that may have custom processes that run beyond 15 minutes, a a new setting has been exposed that allows configuration of the interval after which a node with long-running queue processor is marked as unhealthy and is restarted. By default this remains 900000 milliseconds / 900 seconds / 15 minutes, but it may be adjusted up to 24 hours to avoid premature node shutdown. The stale thread detection mechanism will take that setting into account and use the provided value or default to 15 minutes if the value was not provided. In addition, the threshold's units in the UI have been changed from ms to seconds.

Toggles added to allow file listener performance improvement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
In order to offer flexibility in improving the performance of file listener CPU usage while processing intake files, rsf.setSaveIntermediateState( true ) has been replaced with rsf.setSaveIntermediateState( listener.getListenerProperties().getAttemptRecovery() ) in FileActionImpl. This change allows the option of not selecting the setting for attempting recovery on the file listener rule-form, which then would skip the intermediate save state normally performed per record/per file in case recovery is needed, thereby speeding up the processing. A toggle has also been added to see whether the system should bypass the ListenerState check at the end of each record. To use this, set the Dynamic System Setting "listener/skipListenerStateCheck" in the "Pega-IntegrationEngine" ruleset to true. Additional Installation Instructions Please create/set the Dynamic System Setting "listener/skipListenerStateCheck" in the "Pega-IntegrationEngine" ruleset as true.
