DoClose updated to resolve lock and context issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
An interaction case was closing when intent tasks were closed from CSRecents. Investigation showed this was due to the doClose activity not being triggered in the right context, and has been resolved. An additional issue with locks not being correctly released after opening the new case Create stage and clicking Cancel in the modal was traced to a missing pyWorkPage in the safeURL params that was needed by the doClose activity, and this has been resolved by adding the primary page name.

Timing updated for Cassandra session change thread lock
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
An issue with unresponsive nodes was traced to the method used for notifications about Cassandra session changes. A thread trying to obtain a Cassandra session acquired a read lock, then if it then determined that a new session had to be created it would also acquire a write lock, preventing other nodes from trying to acquire the session. After creating a session, the thread notified all session change listeners while holding the write lock, causing deadlock with dependent services. To resolve this, the timing has been updated by moving the session change notification to the listeners outside of the section guarded by the lock.

Handling updated for custom flow bulk actions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
If the first assignment in a bulk queue failed validation of the flow action, the other selected assignments with same validations also failed without going to queue. This occurred when custom flow actions were configured on the standard bulk processing section, and caused the incorrect email template to be sent. To resolve this, Activity ProcessMultipleAssignments has been modified to add jump conditions to address the errors in PerformFlowAction and handle exception scenarios and ensure the proper template is sent.

Null check added for blank CSS style
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After a case was created from email, opening the case did not display the email body. This was traced to the styles found in the content of the email body, specifically to a style starting with ":root" that was causing the issue. In pyGetHTMLMessage, the email processing does not happen if the CSS selector is blank, which happened due to a null check not being performed when changing the internal CSS styles to inline CSS styles. To resolve this a null check has been added on the selector.

Discard button works consistently
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After check out, the discard button was not working consistently for decision tables or MapValue. Investigation showed this occurred when an exported file was being downloaded in the same window, as the thread would be busy with the file and not able to perform the discard action on the window. To resolve this, the configuration for the download on the same window has been removed, exportToDecisionTable has been modified to handle an iframe, and a runScript action has been added to register the exportToExcel activity and download in iframe.

Improved accessibility for overflow menu tab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a tabbled layout group has more tabs than will fit horizontally on the screen, icons appear to the left and right of the visible tabs to scroll through the available tabs along with a drop down list to select from all available tabs. Running the accessibility tool generated an error message for the down arrow button on the right. This was traced to a set tabindex 0 for unfocusable items, and has been resolved by adding tabindex="-1" for the overflow menu.

Ensure field level server side validation messages cleared
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A validation message was retained when not required. This was traced to a scenario where there were two server side validation messages on the decimal field in addition to a required client side validation condition; on text change of the decimal field, the server side validation persisted and client side validation replaced only the first message. This has been resolved with an update which will remove field level server side validation messages after client side validation on an event trigger.

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After a job scheduler was configured to run at Start time = 21:00:00 for Time zone = Europe/London, the scheduler determined 20:00:00 as the next start time. This was due to the calculation for the next start time using the time zone offset calculation pattern for the date and time stored in System-Runtime-Context.pxCreateDateTime, which had difficulty with changes to the time zone definition implemented in the time between the given date and today (meaning the current time) such as daylight savings time. To resolve this, the default reference time from System Runtime Context will be 'now' instead of Date(0).

Hazelcast upgraded to resolve node startup issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Post data upgrade, the ADM tier failed to start and the error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Node failed to start!" appeared. This was traced to a dormant bug in Hazelcast 3.11 that caused starting nodes to fail when the Hazelcast master node was shutting down, which was exposed by recent Pega changes made to enable parallel restarts of nodes in Cloud environments. Hazelcast delivered a fix for the parallel restart problem and the hotfixed jar has been merged into the platform.

DSS added to skip 'Has Purge Happened Since Startup'
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The Purge Agent did not finish execution, exiting with the error "skipping purge because HasPurgeHappenedSinceStartup == false". This was traced to the local site policy of restarting their nodes every week, which was not aligned with the system default purge policy. To address this, a new DSS "skipHasPurgeHappenedSinceStartupCheck" has been added to the Pega-RulesEngine ruleset. When set to true, the check for 'Has Purge Happened Since Startup' will be skipped.
