Multiple fixes made to handleXThreadChanges to resolve IE11 latency for opening cases/assignments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
After upgrade there was a performance issue with IE11 when opening a case from the search box or opening the assignments, and alerts were triggered from PDC indicating "ClientPageLoad has exceeded the elapsed time". This was caused by IE stopping the triggering of requests until a client processes was done, causing increased latency when compared to using Chrome. To resolve this, multiple fixes have been made to the handling for handleXThreadChanges in setTimeout.

Fixed column search function for Report Browser Data Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
Searching/filtering for columns in the Data Explorer in the Report Browser was not filtering the tabs by the search string. This was an error caused by the unique ID changes for controls, and has been fixed by updating the getSearchTextElement() function in pega_report_events.js to use the name attribute rather than the ID attribute to identify the search bar. The tabClickCallback() has also been updated to not rely on window.event as it was causing discrepancies in Safari.

Improvements made for the stability and reliability of the stream tier
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
Several enhancements and fixes have been made to improve the stability and reliability of the stream tier with a focus on rolling restart. Issue 410567: When a stream node shuts down, it takes up to a minute for all client nodes to recognize the event and failover to other nodes due to large default timeouts. Timeouts have now been reduced to allow nodes to failover much earlier. Issue 413375: When a stream node shuts down, other stream nodes are notified and attempt to discover the new cluster topology. Since the cluster is still in flux, this operation may take a long time blocking all producers until a new topology is determined. This procedure has been changed to be less heavy and make the discovery only if required. Issue 401326: Kafka (running as a separate process as part of the Stream services) generates log files, but does not use log rotation with a maximum amount of log files. This means that the log files will eventually fill up the disk, leading to failures of the service and PRPC instance running on the same disk. To resolve this, the system will now limit number of generated log files to prevent high disk usage by using the parameters of file size = 2 MB and a max nr of size = 10. Issue 410280: A large number of "Processing override for entityPath" entries were seen in the Kafka logs. This has been addressed by ensuring message.timestamp.difference.max.ms is set to equal to retention.ms. In addition, the system will properly compare the Kafka Configuration created for the entire topic and the configuration retrieved for Partitions so the configuration is not unnecessarily updated. Issue 414765: During stream node restart, decision hub nodes may block for 15-30 seconds when writing to a stream data under certain conditions. This can cause high response times for a small period. This has been addressed by updating stream dataset logic to handle stream tier restarts properly and not cause response time degradation. Issue 401093: HttpMessageDecoder was throwing an exception regarding “TooLongFrameException” causing a 502 on HTTP stream tier requests going over 8192. The default max header size used by stream data set REST service was 8KB. In this particular case, the HTTP header contains a lot of cookies and other meta-info and exceeds 8KB. To resolve this, the default max header size has been increased to 16KB. A new prconfig setting to control max header size has also been introduced.

oLog.infoForced has been replaced with oLog.debug in GetAssignmentDetailsInternal to reduce excessive logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
The Rest API used by Robotics was generating excessive logging on the application server due toPzGetAssignmentDetailsInternal generating several lines of logs with each REST call. In a high volume system, this can make the logs difficult to utilize. To resolve this, oLog.infoForced has been replaced with oLog.debug.

Test case data purge made configurable to improve rule opening performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
Slowness when opening rules like Decision tree, flows, and decision tables was traced to some rule form test cases data being automatically loaded during opening. This has been addressed by modifying the "pzPergeTestResultsData" activity to read the value from "pegaunit/purgeAgeInDaysForTestResults" DSS to delete the test results records from the database based on the purge age. The default is 180 days.
