Improved disconnected requestor cleanup for FieldService
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
A large number of requestors from FieldService with the status as 'Disconnected' were accumulating and causing performance issues. This was traced to the requestors not getting passivated due to users not logging out and new requestors being created for the same users next time, and was caused by the value of the DSS Initialization/PersistRequestor being set as "OnTimeout". When the DSS prconfig/timeout/browser/default is not configured, the default browser requestor timeout is 60 minutes. In this scenario, requestors were not passivating as the requestor passivation timeout was set to the refresh token lifetime for mobile users, which was very large and overwrote the DSS value. This has been resolved by removing the code which set the passivation timeout to the OAuth2 refresh token lifetime.

Deprecated authentication methods removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, attempting to trigger the Pega hosted API externally through Post Man resulted in the exception "The method getAuthenticationService() is undefined for the type OAuth2AccessTokenValidation". This was traced to the use of references to the methods getAuthenticationService() and getAuthenticationServiceType(), which are not in use from v8.5 onwards in pzOAuth2AuthenticationActivity and have now been removed. For OAuth2 authentication, the service package should use authentication type as OAuth2; the system will then take care of validating the token and establishing the operator context.

Condition check added to trigger search update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Following work done to update deleting attachments for cases created through an email bot, search indexing was not updating automatically and a manual re-index was needed to allow the global search to work. This has been resolved with the addition of a condition check which will update the case when there is a delete operation done on the link page.

Elasticsearch will split queries to avoid URL length limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Elastic Search Functionality was not working and showed the status as Offline. Investigation showed that when an external Elasticsearch setup had an index prefix length = 200 and a large number of dedicated indexes, the error "too_long_frame_exception, reason: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes" was generated. In this case, the system was working with approximately 87 dedicated indexes and the name for each of them was sent over the URL, resulting in this error message. This has been resolved by updating the system to split queries so as to not exceed the HTTP line limit in Elasticsearch.

Added handling for client-side validation errors in sub-reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When a sub-report was trying to access externally mapped fields or an optimized page property by JOIN of another class, the main report was unable to validate the Page property. This has been resolved by updating the activity code to handle client-side validation errors on main reports attempting to access the externally-mapped Page properties of another class in the sub-report.

Updated variable handling for filter logic to avoid reuse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When adding the property "ItemStatus" as a filter for a report, the validation message: "This property does not exist or has no column mapping" appeared. This was traced to an empty caption for a class join property used in the filter due to RRFilters_Logic reusing the strFieldName variable, and has been resolved by updating the variable handling to use a unique name, strPropName.

Resolved report filter section freeze
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When opening a report with a count column, changing the order of one of the report columns resulted in the report freezing and requiring the report to be closed and re-run. This was traced to a double filter popup appearing that did not close after the column sorting, which happened if the report definition was configured as a summary with an aggregated column such as "Count” combined with a "Do not display group headings" setting on the Report Viewer tab. To resolve this, a new step has been added in the Activity pzPopulateSortOrder to call the pzCancelFilterLogicChanges activity.

Handling added for indexing items exceeding Kibana max size
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Indexing cases was generating errors from Kibana indicating "Failed to index document: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document contains at least one immense term in field="_m_MailBody" (whose UTF8 encoding is longer than the max length 32766), all of which were skipped." To resolve this, if an embedded property exceeds the max length defined by Kibana, it will be truncated at 32k bytes in order to allow indexing to proceed.
