The available prconfigs will enable it, and set maximum number of executions and delay before the next execution is launched. The prconfigs are: dnode/cassandra_speculative_execution_policy dnode/cassandra_speculative_execution_policy/max_executions dnode/cassandra_speculative_execution_policy/delay

OpenRuleAdvanced updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After upgrade, the Update Page and Append and Map to step in Data transform was generating the error "No Server connection while giving page name to Target and Source". This was traced to the OpenRuleAdvanced_OverLabel control, and investigation showed that a variable was not being resolved when invoking pzEncryptURLActionString. This has been resolved by updating OpenRuleAdvanced and reimplementing two parameters as well as moving the call of these variables to the beginning of the script. Security has also been improved by moving some of the encryption to SafeUrls.

Security improvements for ApplicationInventory and Delete Class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
It was possible to call the activity "ApplicationInventory of class Rule-" by appending the activity name in the URL. To improve security, the ApplicationInventory activity and HTML rule have been removed from the system. In addition, it was possible to access the "delete class" screen and perform actions on top of it by directly appending the stream to the URL. This has been refactored so the screen will be presented only if the pzSystemOperationsAdministrator privilege is in the current access group.

ValueList/Group correctly appears on clipboard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After upgrade the property of type ValueList/Group was missing from the clipboard. This was traced to an extra 'when' rule applied on the visibility of Layout-2 in final section pzProperty (Pega-Desktop:08-02-01), and has been corrected.

Clipboard ExecuteActivity button updated to get classname
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
In Clipboard, clicking the execute activity button did not trigger any action in the backend. Investigation showed that previously the ID attribute for the HTML element used to be same as the property name, and the value of property "pyClassName" was found in the document.getElementById function. Due to work done to provide a feature that generates unique IDs for UI elements (auto generated controls), this must be done through other functions such as document.querySelector to get the value of the property from DOM. The necessary updates have now been made to the javascript function in control pzExecuteActivityButton.

Comments explicitly excluded from generated ruleset under localization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
A generated URL link from Correspondence Fragment (WorkLink) which was saved in Pega-ProCom_ja was incorrect due to an incomplete URL. The ruleset Pega-ProCom_ja is not provided from the platform, but is generated when using localization. In this case, a comment fragment was included in the rule when it was generated, causing the issue. To resolve this, comment handling has been updated to ensure it's not included when generating the rule.

Corrected property mismatch in Create Eligibility condition builder
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
A parameter mismatch in Create Eligibility condition builder was resulting in properties not being offered in the dropdowns as expected when the top level page was not CaseTypeStages or this page did not exist on clipboard. This has been resolved by changing CaseTypeStages.pyClassName to ConditionsParamterPage.pyClassName in the pzSelectValues_FieldType section.

DSS added to handle merges with lower versions of Postgres
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, executing the batch campaign with volume constraint resulted in the second data flow DF_Wait failing with error message "ERROR: number of columns (1844) exceeds limit (1664)". This was due to the database set’s change (in 8.5) to use the database layer’s merge statement. Prior to that, the logic used "deletes and inserts". Depending on the version of Postsgres, the generated SQL statement for a merge statement is different. The “INSERT … ON CONFLICT … UPDATE” syntax is generated for Postgres 9.5+ AND when there is a PK constraint defined for the DB table. Otherwise, the complex UPSERT statement (old syntax) is generated, as was the case in this issue. This is a known issue in the Postgres server software where it mis-interprets the number of columns involved. i.e., it mistakenly counts the number of columns twice. As a result, the actual maximum columns allowed is only half of the official limit (1664). The same UPSERT statement does not cause the “exceeds limit” exception if there are 832 or fewer columns in the statement. To resolve this, an option has been provided to select between the “original logic” (deletes and inserts) and the “merge statements” logic by way of the DSS “decision/datasets/db/useMergeStatementForUpdates”. Setting “true” will use the merge statement logic, and setting “false” will use deletes and inserts. When the DSS is not defined, the default is "true" and the system will use merge statements in the form preferred by Postgres 9.5+.
