Rulesets removed from direct invocation ability
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
The following rules have been updated such that they are no longer available to be invoked directly by a client or service: Clipboard_ExecuteActivity, getClassInstances, getOperatorIDs, and GetXMLRuleData. In addition, pzAutoGenClipboard_ExecuteActivity will now require authentication.

Access Deny working as expected for Offers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
It was possible to Save-As an offer in PegaMKT-Work-Offer after encountering an access deny rule. The record was not created in Dev Studio, however, and an expected denial of access was not registered at runtime. This was due to Access deny rules not being considered as a part of validation, and has been resolved by adding the necessary permission validation to the new harness that will produce the error message informing the user that they are missing a permission. Additional work has also been done to pass the 'pzKeepPageMessages' parameter as true so that page level error messages are correctly displayed.

Testcases are not available for 'access when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Attempting to create test cases for access when rules resulted in guardrail warnings about the need to create a test case. Because Test Cases are not available for the Access When rule type as per Pega expected behavior, the guardrail warnings are not valid and have been removed.

Related cases of different types properly linked in Case Worker Portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After creating a case of type1 in the Case Worker portal, creating a case of type2 from the first case showed the case ID of the second case in the Related Work section as expected. However, after clicking on the link of the case ID of the second case from the related work section, the second case opened but the case ID of the first case was not shown in the Related work. The cases were correctly associated when the Case Manager portal was used instead. This was traced to the Case Worker clipboard continuing to hold the previous case ID thread, and has been resolved.

Added handling for clustered index on the pr4_rule table during migration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When attempting to migrate the rules schema to RULES85 and temp data schema DATA85, the upgrade was becoming stuck in a loop while working to generate declarative indexes for Rule-HTML-Paragraph. Investigation showed the infinite looping happened only for classes mapped to the pr4_rule and with instance count of more than (num of threads * batch size). This was due to the presence of a clustered index on the pr4_rule table causing the resultset to return an infinite number of records in SQLServer, and has been resolved with an update to leverage the total record count to iterate the resultset instead of depending on the resultset.next().

Handling added for Oracle "NUMERIC" type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a product rule was created in an environment using Oracle, importing the product into the cloud environment with database table schema changes resulted in errors. This was traced to a change in Oracle's JDBC driver which was reporting Number as a JDBC "NUMERIC" type instead of the previous "DECIMAL". Pega uses the NUMBER data type and expected a type=DECIMAL for an Oracle number, causing the errors. This has been resolved by adding a check for flex numbers if column is NUMERIC.

Database table correctly prevents deletion if there are descendant classes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When deleting a concrete class with descendant classes via an activity (Rule-.Delete), the Rule-Obj-Class.ValidateDeleteInternal activity was throwing an error message indicating the class could not be deleted due to descendant classes. However, the corresponding database table rule was deleted anyway. Investigation showed this was caused by ValidateDeleteInternal not reaching the Obj-Save-Cancel step. This can be fixed by modifying step 11, the post when conditions, to jump to END and set the END label at the Obj-Save-Cancel step instead Exit-Activity, but this issues has been resolved by updating all failure states to run end step. In addition, security has been updated to disallow "Allow invocation from browser".

Improved handling for heavy use of PushDailyUserData
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The PushDailyUserData agent was causing utility node performance issues due to the amount of data it was fetching from pr_hourly table. To resolve this, an update has been made which will run the agent once per day and chunk large data.
