Security update enhanced to support custom implementations of InvokeAxis2
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The QueueProcessor activity indirectly invokes a Connect-SOAP. After installing the Security A22 patch, custom implementations on InvokeAxis2 reported runtime failure. This has been resolved by replacing reflection library use with explicit type checking and casting to get the array length in step 14 of InvokeAxis2.

InvokeHTTPConnector security updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
"Allow invocation from browser" has been disabled for InvokeHTTPConnector, and "Require authentication to run" has been enabled. In addition, an unsafe reflection used to load JCIFS libraries for NTLM operations has been removed, which removes support for custom JCIFS libraries in Connect HTTP.

Database table correctly prevents deletion if there are descendant classes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When deleting a concrete class with descendant classes via an activity (Rule-.Delete), the Rule-Obj-Class.ValidateDeleteInternal activity was throwing an error message indicating the class could not be deleted due to descendant classes. However, the corresponding database table rule was deleted anyway. Investigation showed this was caused by ValidateDeleteInternal not reaching the Obj-Save-Cancel step. This can be fixed by modifying step 11, the post when conditions, to jump to END and set the END label at the Obj-Save-Cancel step instead Exit-Activity, but this issues has been resolved by updating all failure states to run end step. In addition, security has been updated to disallow "Allow invocation from browser".

Corrected filtered column list sorting in Report Browser
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Sorting was not working in Report Browser for a column list when a filter category was selected. This has been resolved by modifying the pzReportListSort activity to set the correct parameters in step-1 and setting pzSetCategoryParam to retain the sortTitle parameter in step 1 with an added step -2 to call the pzReportListSort activity.

Added support for creating predictive models in Production
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
While creating a new predictive model rule in Prediction studio, the case was going into broken process after selecting the template with the error message "Error loading D_ProjectList , Reason : No databases defined in properties file:/databases.properties". This was an unexpected use case for creating models in Production level, and has been resolved by updating the flows to turn off the draft mode in this scenario.

Corrected duplication of records in Elasticsearch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After creating a dedicated index for a data class, modifying any data record for external Data/Work classes caused duplicate documents to be created in Elasticsearch. This has been resolved by updating the Reindex _id field to use the pzInsKey value instead of an auto-generated string. Once this update is in place, re-index is required to remove already created duplicates from the index directory.

Enhanced SSA metrics made available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
In order to better diagnose delays related to the time when a Campaign is scheduled to start and the time when the Dataflow actually starts to run, an update has been made which will generate detailed metrics to cover some of the strategy execution key performance intensive areas. Additional lower level internal metrics related to SSA engine execution have also been made available by way of a DSS to collect more runtime insight for diagnosis. To enable the collection of these Level 2 SSA internal metrics, set the dataflow/shape/strategy/detailed_metrics/level2 DSS in the Pega-DecisionEngine rule set to 'true'. A comprehensive set of enhanced metrics will be available in Pega 8.8.

WorkSearchGadget updated in Theme-Cosmos-02-01
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The search icon was not working in Cosmos after update, which was traced to the search icon not having an action set. This has been addressed in Theme-Cosmos-03-01, but in this scenario Theme-Cosmos-02-01 was set as the Application definition instead of Theme-Cosmos-03-01. To resolve this, Theme-Cosmos 02-01-01 has been updated to use the newest version of the @baseclass.WorkSearchGadget section.

Removed duplicate alert events
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Duplicate applications were seen in the PDC Event Viewer, e.g. ‘Adviser 01.01’ and ‘Adviser:01.01' - one without a colon and one with a colon. Investigation showed that alert events logged via AsyncServices were being logged as "ApplicationName Version" instead of "ApplicationName:Version", and this has been resolved by updating AsyncServiceBatchTask.java to use the expected application name while logging alert events.

DateTime property correctly formatted in Report Editor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a list report was created via the Report Editor, dragging and dropping a date time property which was embedded inside another page and choosing the format as Date and Time resulted in the property taking pxTextInput instead of pxDateTime. This has been resolved by updating the pzMergeAutoGenForProp activity to get the correct class name for embedded page properties.
