Dirty dialog flag reset added for custom modals
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When a discard button in a custom Cosmos modal dirty dialog was clicked, pega.u.d.isDirtyDialogOpen was not reset to false. This caused the modal dialog to not be shown the next time. This has been resolved by modifying pzpega_ui_doc_dirtyhandling to support this dirty handling discard use case.

Added busy state reset to reenable buttons after custom frame cancel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When using a custom iFrame in a section that called a third-party URL, clicking on cancel for the popup "Do you want to stay on this page or leave it?" caused the screen to freeze. This was traced to the cancellation of the dirty page setting a busy state which disabled all the buttons and did not have a path to recovery. This has been resolved by updating the busy state so it will reset when the user chooses to cancel the changes and reenable all the buttons.

Client side validation works with Reference page property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
A reference page property in a 'when' rule was not evaluating properly for checking a Date field when client side validation or Client side template UI was checked on the Harness level. This was traced to pyRequired being boolean: the boolean being compared to a string false value yielded a wrong comparison, leading to the wrong validation type required. To resolve this, the system will use the === comparator to compare boolean false in datetime to remove the required validator.

Context set for progressive scroll load of dynamic layout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When setting pagination as 'Progressively load on scroll' for a repeating dynamic layout in a section with page list as the source, scrolling resulted in a null pointer exception and no further scrolling was possible. The issue was not seen when 'Progressively scroll on user action' was used. Investigation showed the activity Reload Section was failing because of the failure in the pre-processing activity, and this has been resolved by setting the correct context before making the pagination call.

Email listener update for Microsoft Exchange server
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
After upgrade, TooManyObjectsOpenedException/MapiExceptionSessionLimit errors were seen when starting the email listener. Investigation showed that when the listener was started, two sessions were getting opened and then not closed properly. This was a method originally intended to allow the system to re-use the session to minimize performance overhead, but it is not well-suited for use with Microsoft Exchange server as the Exchange server is unable to cleanup idle sessions. As a result, too many MAPI sessions were opened and led to an authentication exception while opening additional sessions. To resolve this, an update has been made so the system will close the session while the listener sleeps. This stop, restart and graceful shutdown scenario for single threaded email listener scenarios will create a new session every time and close it properly.

Fallback added for calculating date after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
After upgrade, the date value returned from Stored procedure failed to be mapped to "date" type property. Stored Procedure was used to get data from an external Oracle database and then handed to a Data Transform to map the values. When the Data was fetched from the store procedure, the date properties were mapping correctly, but when these values were mapped from the clipboard into the usecase using a Data Transform, the data for date properties was becoming corrupted. This was traced to logic differences between the versions: 8.2 generated resolveToDate while in 8.5 generates resolveToBigDecimal. In this case, resolve to big decimal was being called with aType='D' and aValue=20200918, and the 20200918 number was being interpreted as days since 1 Jan 1970 instead of as a date. This has been resolved by adding a fallback for the date calculation.

Unneeded AUC error percentage calculation removed for better system performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When generating snapshots of the ADM models, an inefficiency in the metric calculation for the AUC error percentage caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated which could cause slowdown or require a system reboot. This has been resolved by removing the problematic AUC error percentage calculation as it is not used in the UI.

Compiler jars load as expected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The system was not able to pick up the Default Paths and Default Classes arguments in Configure->System->Settings->Compiler tab when attempting to use a third-party custom jar file. This was an unintended consequence of work done to address performance issues when a requested DASS instance was missing, and has been resolved by ensuring that null values are not cached where are are lookup failures. In addition, enhanced logging has been added to SystemSettingsImpl.

Decryption updated for External assignment routed with DWA
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When an external assignment was routed to a user using DWA, the user was able to access the assignment but received the error "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator" when submitting. Investigation showed this was caused by the system attempting to decrypt the External assignment with the requestor level key, causing the decryption to fail with a NumberFormatException. To resolve this, the system will check if the obfuscated string starts with Global encryption key prefix and then decrypt with the global encryption key by trimming out the prefix.

Improved resolved rules cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When Rule resolution iterated over a candidate list to fetch a candidate, performance issues were seen on very large sites. To resolve this, an enhancement has been added that will cache the resolved virtual table entries to optimize performance in high demand use cases like DSM.
