Performance improvements for database queries and archiving
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
In order to improve the performance of database queries, repetitive unnecessary database calls have been removed, archival queries have been simplified, and diagnostic metrics were added. Optional batch requestors have been added to all archival services with their own DSS settings to allow processing more cases in parallel. It is recommended to create 2 additional indexes to help with the archival process. The indexes will be on:pegadata.pr_metadata (pyisparent, pyobjclass, pyarchivestatus) INCLUDE (pyinskey); pegadata.pr_metadata (pyisparent, pyarchivestatus) INCLUDE (pyinskey);

Personalized table sort order limited
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After implementing a personalized table, the query started adding more 'order by' sorts, causing system impact. This was traced to the pzPopulateSortOrder activity Implementation having different constants assumed for the same purpose (999 in one place and 99999 in another), and has been resolved by updating the logic in step 1 and step 2 to disregard sort orders higher than 999.

Updated authentication for report filter screen
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
If the report filter screen was shown first after clicking on the report link in the report browser, an error is generated for users but not for administrators. This has been resolved by registering the activity and adding a BAC registration section to the prompt filter section.

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.

Updated retainLock for DoClose activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After sending an external email notification from a case, attempting to use the "close" button resulted in an access denied error. This was traced to a missed use case for recent security improvements which resulted in not setting the required parameter retainLock for the DoClose activity, and has been resolved.

GetChildcases handling updated for large numbers of cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a very high number of child cases being processed contained a wait shape that was dependent on the movement of a parent case, some of the cases were moved to the next step of the flow automatically while others required a manual command to ResumeFlow. In extreme cases where many child cases were waiting, a node crash could occur. This was traced to the pzGetChildcases report having a maximum value of 500 lines, and has been resolved by increasing the maximum number of rows to retrieve to 9999 in the Data Access Tab of the pzGetChildCases report definition. In addition, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified to perform with a higher number of cases, and DSS(MaxRecords) logic has been added to split the child cases into multiple queue items for each access group to decrease load on each thread process.

Audit message displays correct parameter value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The Audit message showed "{1}" instead of displaying the parameter value dynamically. This was traced to the pyInstructions field value which contained the message "Please approve or reject this {1}", and has been resolved by updating the pzInstructionsForApproval rule so the correct value is displayed.
