Pega Catalog custom upload control modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Attempting to upload a catalog.zip file caused the system to hang and thread dumps were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to the custom control used to upload the catalog, which was posting the entire content in form data rather than sending a multi-part request. The control contained both legacy code which used form.submit() and encoding along with new code that used SafeURL and sent an async request. With this, encoding could not be set to multi-part in case of an AJAX request. To resolve this, the catalog upload control has been modified to use the appropriate legacy code that performs form.submit() and sets the encoding properly.

Filter considers all instances pages during deployment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
During package deployment, attempting to use Filter to skip some of the instances only displayed the result of the current active page instead of all pages. This was an unintended consequence of previous work, and has been resolved by adding the logic to strip quotes in the value and adding the "Pagination activity manages filtering" checkbox by default.

Kerberos handling updated for database remap
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.4, using Kerberos authentication was failing during the remap task. Investigation showed that null username and password values were being passed to SchemaAssignmentUtility along with the flags as arguments, causing the utility to misinterpret the arguments. As arguments should be populated only when flags and values are available and not null, an update has been made which will set the username and password flags only if they are not null in the Remap database tables target.

Hotfix hashmap cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A DL installation failed with an out-of-memory error. It was observed that many CacheEntry(VersionedJdbcJarRwader.java) hashmaps were being created to store the details for each hotfix but that were then never cleared. This has been resolved by adding the finally block in CodeImportProcessImpl.java class to call the shutdown method for proper cleanup. In addition, the default command line utility (prpcUtils) has been updated to use JVM settings of Xmx 4GB and capture a heap dump if an out-of-memory error is encountered. The auto-generated prconfig.xml has also been updated to leverage its minimal startup setting which will avoid loading the conclusion cache into memory.

Guided tour popups handling added for right-to-left language locales
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Guided Tour Popups were still appearing in the default EN location after switching to the ar_AR locale. This was traced to a missed use case for locales using a right-to-left mode such as Arabic or Hebrew, and has been resolved by updating the guided tour engine openPopOver function to account for the HTML tag dir attribute for value of "rtl". This will anchor the pop over to rightBottom / and display the arrow on the rightTop instead of leftBottom / leftTop.

Updated Decision Table validation for multiple OR conditions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When the Decision Table had multiple OR conditions, the table was verified as consistent even when two rows had the same value. Analysis showed that when Show Conflicts encountered multiple 'or' conditions in a row that matched the same conditions in other rows, it considered them to be different rows. This has been corrected.
