Updated AttachmentPreview control for Account Manager Access Group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Account Manager Access group as the default and only access group on a profile, attempting to render a PDF on the click of a link did not work as expected. The render-on-click worked as expected when logged in as the Author and the application was switched to Account Manager. This has been resolved by registering the activity pzAppStorageOkToAttachFile in the pzAttachmentPreview control.

Clipboard page handling updated for encrypted values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When retrieving data that contained encrypted properties, the clipboard page either did not load, or if it did load the encrypted properties were not listed on the clipboard. This was traced to use of a read only data page, and has been resolved by updating pzRemovePWD with handling for read only pages.

Security updated for @baseclass
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, searching for a baseclass 'when' rule returned no results. Listing the rules under baseclass in App Explorer resulted in the error "Applies To: The Class with key value(s) %40baseclass does not exist". This was an unintended side effect of security updates, and has been resolved by creating an exception path for "@baseclass".

GetFunctionsForLibrary retrieves 10,000 rows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Some functions were missing from the expression builder browser and search results when pyShowInternalLibrary was set to true for including internal functions in the results. To resolve this, the default value for "Maximum number of rows to retrieve" in pzGetFunctionsForLibrary has been increased to 10,000.

Additional diagnostic logging added for ElasticSearch startup issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The PyIndexerState was stuck in Starting status during node initialization. This issue could occur if the filesystem became hung due to network level issue while scanning entries from /etc/mtab, resulting in a lock which was not released correctly. In order to better determine which node entry in a cluster may be responsible for the hang, an update has been made which will use a temporary virtual environment to repeat the part of the initialization phase responsible and generate additional logs for debugging. To activate this, the PegaSearch.Diagnostics logger must be set in DEBUG mode. This duplicated virtual initialization will not interrupt the normal initialization.

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After a job scheduler was configured to run at Start time = 21:00:00 for Time zone = Europe/London, the scheduler determined 20:00:00 as the next start time. This was due to the calculation for the next start time using the time zone offset calculation pattern for the date and time stored in System-Runtime-Context.pxCreateDateTime, which had difficulty with changes to the time zone definition implemented in the time between the given date and today (meaning the current time) such as daylight savings time. To resolve this, the default reference time from System Runtime Context will be 'now' instead of Date(0).

Documentation updated for using Connect MQ with clustered queues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update to Pega Platform v8.6, an issue was seen with Connect MQ rules that used an alias queue. The support documentation has been revised to outline the necessary steps for updating an application to perform as expected. In the Pega-IntegrationEngine ruleset, create the following dynamic system settings and their default values: "mq/pmo" = 0 "mq/gmo" = 0 "mq/oo_request" = 1040 "mq/oo_response" = 16 For more information, dynamic system setting support articles are available.

Admin Studio will consider cluster protocol when returning listener status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a few nodes in standalone mode for BIX extract combined with server nodes using Hazelcast, opening the admin studio pages with service discovery caused an error to be thrown. This was traced to the system writing an entry to pr_sys_statusnodes table as an embedded node whenever a BIX extract was triggered, causing those standalone nodes to be incorrectly considered by the listener landing page. This has been resolved by configuring the system to either return the local member when the cluster protocol is standalone or to return all Hazelcast members if the cluster protocol is Hazelcast.

Hazelcast packages expanded for Java9+ with kubernetes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Hazelcast warnings were seen in cluster logs when Hazelcast was run in embedded mode or c/s mode on a java modular environment i.e. java 9+ which noted that performance and functional impact issues may result if certain internal modules of java are not given reflection access. This update provides the necessary access to some additional java internal modules/packages per the Hazelcast recommendation.
