Handling updated for UpgradeBeforeOpening
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, an email case paused for 1 minute with a wait shape and then resumed by a ServiceLevelEvents agent seemed to lose the context (class) of the case and went into the broken processes queue with the error "Unable to open an instance using the given inputs: pxObjClass = "Work-Channel-Triage"". This was traced to an incorrect class applied by the activity OpenAndLockWork which assumed that "Work-Channel-Triage" was the preferred class and passed in the case ID as a parameter. To resolve this, pzUpgradeBeforeOpening has been updated such that it will migrate a case only if it has "WORK-CHANNEL-TRIAGE" in the work object inskey.

ConfigurationReconciliationTask updated for greater compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.3 to Pega 8.6, models which previously had learning and performance AUC greater than 0.7 reported an AUC of 0.5. This was traced to the update handling in ConfigurationReconciliationTask. AdmRuleBrowser does not perform ruleset resolution, so all rules were returned, for example the rule for model A in both the 08-01 and 08-03 ruleset. The system then iterated over all of the adaptive model rules returned by AdmRuleBrowser in order to assess whether a configuration update was necessary. The condition to update the model rule was met when either the config key did not exist (indicating a newly added configuration) or the model rule was "old" (version <2). For models generated in Pega 8.3 or earlier the version number for all rules must be 1, and the update to Pega 8.6 therefore caused the ConfigurationReconciliationTask to be applied to all adaptive model rules. To resolve this, the configuration update check in ConfigurationReconciliationTask has been removed.

Chatbot outbound message formatting corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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 8.7
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.

ADMinputsource field population updated to handle transactional decisions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The CaptureResponse flow was failing while writing to AdaptiveAnalytics with the error "IllegalArgumentException - argument does not represent JSON object". This occurred while running an outbound campaign where a few decisions were treated as transactional and did not have Model executions. Attempting to set a response for these decisions resulted in a JSON parse exception being thrown due to pxADMInputs not being populated (no models executed). This occurred only when using transactional actions in CDH, and was caused by the system only including predictive models during the make decision flow due to common inputs not being stored. While there was a workaround of overriding the property pzADMInputSource to use modelReferences instead of admInputContainer, this has been resolved by correcting how the pzADMinputsource field is populated. When there is no modelInput, the system will not populate that field so the page is ignored.

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.

Improved handling for attachments not using UTF-8 encoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When an email was received that used a charset encoding other than UTF-8, special characters in the HTML body were not displayed and instead the replacement character was shown. To resolve this, the system will read the encoding from the email rather than use the meta tag, and will add the attachment's HTML encoding information in Data-WorkAttach-File so that the same can be used to process and display the original HTML properly.
