Documentation updated for using Custom Stored Procedure after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Documentation has been updated to reflect that when upgrading an environment to Pega 8.3+, the following two prconfig/DSS settings should be removed. This is the preferred approach to use the new ID generation mechanism. Additionally, if a database sequence was previously used to generate IDs, pc_data_uniqueid should be added or updated to make sure each case type has a row defined, and that the pyLastReservedID matches the maximum of the relative database sequence value plus 1. env name="pega/sequenceid/useOldOOTBIDGenerator" value="true" or DSS: prconfig/pega/sequenceid/useoldootbidgenerator/default env name="database/databases/customUniqueIDproc" value="sppc_data_uniqueid_custom" or DSS: prconfig/database/databases/customuniqueidproc/default To keep using the old custom stored procedure, the following settings should be given either through prconfig or DSS setting (prefixed with "prconfig/"). The sppc_data_uniqueid_custom can be replaced with a custom procedure name with the same signature as the standard stored procedure. env name="pega/sequenceid/useOldOOTBIDGenerator" value="true" env name="database/databases/customUniqueIDproc" value="sppc_data_uniqueid_custom"

Child case has correct context when created from smart shape
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The Cosmos Summary Panel was not always updating as expected when a child case was created via a smart shape in the current case flow; the new case opened, but the summary panel still showed the details of the previous case. This occurred when using a create case smart shape in a flow where the case is assigned to the current user, and was due to the child case assignment being opened inside the parent context. This has been resolved by ensuring the child case is opened in the correct context.

Harness used to determine read-only for button/text input
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
If a button/text input was configured to always be editable in a section by using the /v1/cases/{ID}/pages/{pageID} API (say i.e PageID as Review), the button/text input was always returned as readonly. This was due to the API being hardcoded to return readonly info, and has been resolved by updating pzGetPageDetails to not force read-only and let the harness configuration decide the behavior.

Data-Summary reports default will not use the rule resolved setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
An intermittent issue was seen where a query could become stuck for ~2 hours in the database. This has been resolved by setting the default for Data-Summary reports to not use the rule resolved setting.

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.

Survey navigation type set for use with complex CB refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After upgrade from Pega 7.1 to Pega 8.5, creating a legacy survey used in pxSurveySection with a complex CB question page that contained a refresh option had collapsed tree navigation, the survey name was blank, and duplicate labels were found in picklist questions. To resolve this, an update has been added which will set the navigation type in parameters after a complex CB refresh and skip page copy while upgrading survey work objects.

Errors persisted for single case runs using a custom error handler
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Single case processing (SingleAccountData) had failed records when opening the SubscriptionData dataset, but it was not possible to see the failed record details for further investigation. Investigation showed that when running a single case run with a custom error handler, errors were persisted as part of the dataflow metrics, but not written to the database. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure errors are persisted for single case runs configured using a custom error handler.

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.

Enabled turning off general metrics when queue processing metrics are disabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A memory leak related to QPGeneralMetrics was consuming heap and causing performance issues. Investigation showed queue processor metrics were gathered even when disabled. To resolve this, turning off "General Metrics Handler" while turning off the QPGeneralMetrics has been enabled. Queue processors should now skip the process of collecting general metrics while running activities. This will prevent storing unused (and uncleared) metrics in memory and prevent heap exhaustion.

Error text revised for parameterized data page used for token generation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
While trying to add a claim in the header of a Token Generation Profile instance, selecting Map From as "Clipboard" and trying to give any DataPage(parameterized) as the source property failed to be saved and the error "JWS Alias— Please provide correct algorithm key with correct key length." appeared. Changing the "Map From" to a Constant and giving a dummy value worked as expected. Tracer showed the error "declare page parameters not supported by PropertyReference", indicating the actual issue: at this time, the Token profile does not support using a parameterized data page. This has been addressed by ensuring an appropriate error message is shown on save of the token profile rule form when a parameterized data page reference is configured. The error will now read "The reference D_pzPreferenceStore[PreferenceOperatorID:"[email protected]"].pxObjClass is not valid. Reason: Parameterized data page reference is not supported." Support for a parameterized data page used with Map From will be taken as an enhancement for a future release.
