Re-indexing correctly triggers old index deletion
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
There was no request to delete the old index when a new reindexing process was started, resulting in the new data being put into the already existing index. This was traced to a logic flaw which evaluated a condition as false under certain conditions. This 'If' condition has been fixed and simplified so the process responsible for recreating the ElasticSearch index is accessible for the scenario of reindexing an entire index without specifying include or exclude classes.

Dataflow with report definition source repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, data flows using a report definition dataset as source were throwing a null pointer exception. This was traced to previous work done around retry handling for Oracle queries where there were issues identifying the correct column types; that previous work has been reverted to resolve this null pointer exception, and further work will be done to refine the solution to the Oracle CLOB DatabaseException.

Handling added for corrupted direct index
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A corrupted dedicated index was causing a null pointer error. Handling for this has been added by way of an additional condition check for an improper direct index with no fields in the metainfoindex document, along with a filter to check if the category is null.

Drilldown report opening made consistent
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After launching the user portal for a hybrid app on the system and going to Reports --> Case Volume report, drilling down in the report and clicking on an entry opened it in a new tab, but going to Actions --> Refresh and performing the same action opened it in the same tab. This has been resolved by refreshing the entire pzReportDisplay section to retrigger the JS found in pzRDWinTitle which replaces the drilldown functions.

Removed incorrect role from accessible filter logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using JAWS, tabbing out from Close(X) and setting focus on the "filter by" section resulted in JAWS reading out "use arrows to move". This was not an available action, and has been resolved by removing role="listitem" from the RRFilters_logic.

Accessibility improved for filter pop-up buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
JAWS was not reading the buttons on the filters pop-up for a report in report browser. This has been resolved by adding helper text for the cancel button of pzReportConfigApplyCancel and for the Search icon of the pzAvailableValues.

Execution class parameter handling updated for scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The schedule was picking the wrong class to execute a report, choosing the report top class/current application class instead of the expected shortcut class mentioned in the report class of the schedule. This has been resolved by updating the parameter handling in the pzRunScheduleShortcut activity.

Web Tier busy threads released on timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Tomcat Web Tier Busy Threads were not being correctly released, causing stability and performance problems that included health check pings not receiving a thread to service the request so the node was marked as bad, users were quiesced, and the node replaced. Investigation showed the 'put' on the blocking queue did not time out when the queue was full and waited indefinitely, keeping the thread blocked. To resolve this, the system will use 'offer' on the blocking queue instead of 'put' to force thread release on timeout. In addition, debug logs have been added to understand when the offer (or Put) does not succeed and the state of the queue that is causing this issue; the debug logs for class com.pega.pegarules.session.internal.serverpush.RoboticAutomationImpl should be enabled only if the thread busy issue is observed and for limited time window while actively debugging.
