Added deferred loading for email cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When there were a significant number of email interactions on an email case, delays were seen when loading the case in the UI. Investigation traced this to a high number of database calls along with the BLOBs also being open. To improve performance, the new rule pyDeferLoadEmails has been added which toggles the UI and loads emails faster. In addition, the button label has been modified to read "View all emails" in place of "Show all" while defer load is enabled.

Chatbot outbound message formatting corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Chatbot outbound responses were displaying appended br tags for next line in the messages. This was due to a formatting error in the menu (message type) title, and has been corrected.

Handling updated for migrated cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When performing a contact search in an interaction case that was migrated from an earlier version, clicking the Add Task button generated an exception when executing pzSendFeedbackToNLP(step 9) > pzFindTopicModel. This was traced to an unnecessarily call to pzMigrateInteractionCases each time a migrated case was opened, and has been resolved by updating the system to use JumpToLaterStep in Step1 of pzCheckAndMigrateInteractionCases to avoid calling MigrateCase again.

Added JSoup handling for older Microsoft Outlook versions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Logging indicated that some emails were generating the error "pyextractlatestreplyfromhtml is resulting in java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object must not be null." This occurred when using an older version of Microsoft Outlook, and has been resolved by adding a check before removing the JSoup doc object.

Added API for Pega Call Team websocket reconnect
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a call came in, the operator was not able to pick it up due to the popup only containing a reconnect section. This has been resolved by adding the disconnectAndReconnect API which will be used by Pega Call Team if the websocket reconnect limit exceeds 5.

Email bot tags the incoming account correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When an email bot was created and configured for two email accounts, for example [email protected] and [email protected], an incoming email that had both of the email addresses in the "TO" line correctly created two Work-Channel-Triage-Email cases, but the data on the triage case did not correctly mark the incoming email account in "pzIncomingEmailAccount" or "pyAccountId". This has been resolved with an update that will rely on pyListenerPage if pzIncomingEmailAccount is blank initially, and if pzIncomingEmailAccount is still blank the system will then iterate over the email address and fetch the email account from the channelconfig page.

Mentioned user in Pulse correctly converted to hyperlink
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
In the Interaction portal, mentioning a user in Pulse using @ was not converting the name to the user name with hyperlink for Email Interactions. @ mentions were working as as expected in Phone Interactions. This problem was introduced as part of using OWASP to sanitize HTML user input in Rich Text support, and was due to OWASP converting @ to an HTML entity. To resolve this, the @ will be excepted from HTML conversion.

Performance improvements for opening cases with embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Opening cases containing email interactions was taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to the use of embedded images, icons, etc, in the message body and signature, and was caused by the pyGetAttachmentsbyCID activity running multiple times due to discussion threads that were duplicated over and over. In some cases, more than 360 calls to the database were seen. This has been resolved by shifting some case opening processes to executing when the listener thread gets the mail, and storing the results in a .pynote property, and a URL will be used to get images instead of embedding them directly to the HTML. If preferred, this can be reverted to the previous behavior by changing the when rule (pyUseCachedHtmlForDisplay) to false.

Optional feature to improve pxETReport performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Poor performance was seen when using pxETReport. This was caused by the system loading the recent cases widget by looking up all the ET cases within last 30 days, opening each ET case to check if it is from the same pyFrom email address, and then if yes, opening its related service case. On a complex system, this was potentially a slow process. To improve performance, the "Related cases" feature can now be disabled through an overridable 'when' rule.
