Secure shared link generation added to scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When a scheduled report with a link was sent in email, clicking the link displayed an access denied message. To support this use, logic has been added to pytaskoutputprocessor in the pega-scheduledtask-reporting and pega-scheduledtask classes that will create a secure encrypted URL using the PublicLinkURL function.

Corrected blank lines for hidden report filter criteria
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When the report browser had five filter criteria for a report and only the last two were made visible due to conditions, three blank lines were shown above the visible filters. This was traced to the Report Definition column filter showing the grid row as empty space when "Filter Not Visible in Viewer" was selected, and has been resolved by adding an inline style to PzPromptGrid.

Web Tier busy threads released on timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
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.

Resolved Push Node Daily Information exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The "Push Nodes Info Daily" agent was generating an exception on each of the nodes. This has been resolved by enhancing the PegaAESRemote code to handle the exception and get the node info locally, then push it to the console when it is not able to get it via the cluster management API.

Certificate match will use Subject Distinguished Name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Signature verification was failing due to the system not finding the matching root certificate for the chain. The root certificate was in the trust store, but the system found a different certificate first and that other certificate (an intermediate certificate) was not considered a valid certificate for validating the whole certificate chain. This was traced to filtering on the Issuer Distinguished Name (DN) instead of the Subject DN and was due to intermediate certificates potentially having the same Issuer as a root certificate (e.g. if that root certificate was used to create the intermediate certificate). To resolve this, an update has been made to check the Subject DN instead of Issuer DN.

Instance count logic updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
A performance issue was seen during update that resembled an upgrade hang. This was caused by a combination of incorrect logic in DDLGenerator.getInstanceCountForClass() around counting instances of 'core' classes and all of the site history-data- tables being mapped to the same table that had 1.4+ billion rows. This behavior has been addressed with more correct query logic while performing instance counts. In addition, instance count will be supressed during command line invocations (prpcUtils, platform upgrade).

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, the DSS to limit the number of partition counted was no longer working and instead used the default value of 20. This has been corrected and made backwards compatible.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using Export to Excel directly from a report definition, a date column specified using pxDatetime was shown as applied date format in the resulting Excel file. The column was formatted as expected if the export was called from an activity. This was traced to the recent refactoring of Export to Excel: it was not expected that it would be called directly, but rather that it would be invoked from a report viewer ruleform. In order to support this direct use, step calls have been added to the pzRDExportWrapper activity to call pzMergeAutoGen before the engine call. This step will merge the pyModes pages from pxDateTime control.

Deferred load works inside custom row section of Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Deferred Load was not working inside a custom row section of a report definition. This was traced to the non-auto-generated mark up written for the customRowSection include not having the node_type="MAIN_RULE" name="BASE_REF" id="RULE_KEY" base_ref="" attributes. This led to the load manager which performs the defer load to get the base_ref as "pyReportContent" from the "ReportDisplay" section dom node. To resolve this, the RRDataListGeneration has been modified to set the proper base_ref to customRowSection include so the context/base_ref is passed to the customRowSection.
