Invalid date handling added to Legacy Adapters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Running the Job Scheduler activity failed with the error "not a valid date/time value". Investigation showed this was caused by LegacyPropertyAdapter.isEmpty being returned as true in case of properties having invalid values, and has been resolved by adding handling for an InvalidValueException in LegacyPropertyAdapter and LegacyPageAdapter.

ServicePackage threads properly released
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After completing a system stress test, the requestor pool threads for the ServicePackage were not released. Investigation showed that the threads were waiting for Data Pages to be loaded in the background even though there was no background job corresponding to those data pages in the Async Services pool. This has been resolved by making an update to avoid removing the object handlers when the load-datapage finds that an entry exists with a NOT_STARTED state.

Validation on DateTime property working for mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
A mandatory DateTime field with "Allow text entry" set to 'No' was not restricting validation when no value was provided. This was an unintended consequence of recent work done to validate input type date along with input type hidden, and has been reverted.

Authentication requirement updated for CallConnector
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, invoking a REST API call during SSO login which eventually called pxCallConnector (Final Activity) in @baseclass Pega-RulesEngine failed at the CallConnector step. This was caused by a change in recent Pega versions which enabled authentication for this activity, and has been resolved by marking the activity as internal and disabling the authentication requirement.

Archival IndexManagerService performance improved for very large tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Archival IndexManagerService was taking an excessive amount of time to run updateStatusForCasesWithInconsistentArchiveStatus(), a method which checks the parent case's archival status and compares it to all its children (cases & dependencies) statuses and flags parent cases with statuses that do not match. This check is done on all parent case instances that are in the indexer stage, and intermittently timed out and failed on a pr_metadata table containing over 5,000,000 records. This has been resolved by splitting the inconsistent check into smaller tasks and addressing potential parent/child/dependency relationships that can occur in the pr_metadata table.

AES call to mbean disabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Under certain conditions, the AESRemote 'push memory' agent call to the legacy memory management mbean caused unexpected behavior in declarative rules for work running in data flows and queue processors. This has been resolved at this time by overriding the push memory usage agent activity to skip mbean and connect REST.

Tokenizer updated to handle commas
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The Text Analyzer was not working as expected in cases where the number was combined with a comma (,) with it but was working when a space was used between the number and the comma. This was traced to the tokenizer not correctly processing and splitting the input text when there was a special character before or after the token. This has been resolved by updating the tokenizer logic.

Hazelcast remote execution not called from synchronized context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After navigating to the Admin Studio portal to view the nodes, the portal was temporarily freezing. Investigation of the thread dump revealed this was caused by a DDS pulse sending a remote execution call to all nodes to update logger settings even though the site was not using DDS. This has been resolved by updating the system to avoid calling Hazelcast remote execution from a synchronized context.
