Email Discussion Thread retains Formatting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
CSS styles were not being retained in the discussion thread when replying to InboundCorrespondence cases. This was traced to a missing value in Param.latestReply activity pzCreateExternalPostFromMail, and has been resolved by setting an initial plain text value to the param.latestReply before it is set with the HTML value. This prevents having a blank parameter value if the incoming HTML value is empty.

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.

Batching now enabled when using IH Summary shape in substrategies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Batching was not being enabled when using IH Summary shape in substrategies. This was traced to the IH_SUMMARY_CACHE field not automatically being passed to sub-strategies, and has been corrected.

Removed unneeded table name calculation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After giving short names (less than 30 characters) for "To Table", saving did not produce an error, but an error was thrown during Check In. Investigation showed that while checking in the extract rule, a block of code in the Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties was being executed to recompute the pagelist's table name instead of using the name provided by the user. To resolve this, the RUF has been modified to not execute this block of code during check-in of the extract rule. The validation will be seen during save if the 'To field' has more than 30 characters.

Corrected duplicate records being inserted in to the index table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Rows in the index table were duplicated. This was traced to a logic error on the ClipboardPage relating to workObject2, and has been resolved.

Added workaround to handle HiddenPropertiesToIgnore when a page is in Read Only mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
A 'WrongModeException' was generated while trying to use the Data Transform pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore to remove system properties from page. When the Datapage was set to Editable/Savable mode, the Activity ran without an error and executed the Data transform. When the Datapage was in Read only mode, the error occurred. This was traced to a process that previously was allowed to set a page to an empty string, but which was removed during recent work. To resolve this, four instances of pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore that included Single Page Value properties have been updated by moving them to the bottom of the Data Page and changing them to an "Update Page" from a "Set".

Parent case lock properly released when child case is resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After creating Parent-Child casetypes with default locking where the child case had the “Allow access to parent” check box checked, the temporary lock acquired on the parent during resolution of the child case was not released afterwards. If “Allow access to parent” was not checked, then the locks were released on both the parent and the child. This was traced to a combination of parameters used by the openIfStale() API where aUnlockOnCommit could be set to false despite the provided locking strategy expecting it to be true, as well as honoring UnlockOnCommit when maintainLockingStrategy is false. To resolve this, the system has been updated to always check whether the lock is available in the map already and if it is, then set unlockonCommit to true. Otherwise, under all cases, honor the passed-in unlockOnCommit value.

Improved query efficiency for bulk processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Spikes were observed in Library Cache usage. These were traced to queries that originated from Agent 'AgentBulkProcessing' and the activity 'PzAgentBulProcessing' that used "like" and "as", which were not performance efficient in a large-scale installation. The queries in the CheckBulkProcessQueue activity have now been updated to improve performance.

Node level data page now specifies tenant name in MT environments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
In order to address a requestor contention between different tenants during the load of node level data page in multi-tenant environments, an enhancement has been added that will specify the tenant name in the data page name. This will improve performance by allowing different tenants to have different locks, ensuring the process of data page loading on one tenant will not make another tenant wait for the loading of the same data page. Additional debug and trace logging has also been added to provide more information related to declarative rule cache management.
