DSS added for handling missing attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When an S3 repository was configured as storage, some cases were not coming up in search and exception errors were seen in logs for a deleted attachment after every system restart/re-indexing of the search. Investigation showed these case objects were in the broken queue for pyFTSIncrementalIndexer due to a null pointer error encountered when indexing the attachment, and that the attachments were available in the repository but could not be read from the attachment repository during indexing. To resolve this, a new DSS setting has been added which allows selecting one of two behaviors:- Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = true : broken item is generated, but with a meaningful error message. This is the default behavior - Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = false: case is indexed, but without the problematic attachment. Error message is printed out to the logs.

Updated filter logic for filtering on a DateTime column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When a class join was used in a report definition, the error "The Filter Logic used in the report is invalid" appeared while filtering rows of a report definition results on a DateTime column. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by modifying pzGridSortPaginate to convert the data type value into the proper casing.

Performance improvements for database queries and archiving
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
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);

Offline.Rulecache UI module capacity increased
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Clicking the save button on a modal window caused the application to freeze and all the buttons were disabled. This was traced to the pega.offline.rulecache UI module having a default hard limit of 500 rules. Once the hard limit was reached, the system intermittently silently refused caching additional rules depending on the amount of rules packaged or the order in which the rules are loaded to the cache. To resolve this, the system has been updated to only log a console warning once the maximum threshold is reached, allowing the application to operate normally and at the time inform about the potential impact of having too many rules in memory.

Signature Accept callback fires correctly in offline app
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Clicking on the Accept button in the Pega mobile signature control was not properly calling the necessary pega.ui.signature.acceptSignatureCallback method. This has been resolved by adding code for the Post Success and Failure callback on Signature accept in the offline app.

Handling added to process Actions chunks on multiple nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
If the synching of chunks to a node was interrupted, attempting to resume the remaining chunks resulted in a processing issue if the Load Balancer passed the connection to a different node than was used for the first connection. As an example, if chunks were synched to node "A" and the restarted sync saved the remaining chunks to node "B", when all chunks were synced node "B" incorrectly determined node "A" was actually doing the work and skipped the processing of the chunks on node "B". This resulted in queued chunks being left untouched. To resolve this, the logic has been updated to allow multiple nodes to process the chunks.

Page group property passed correctly for complex questions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When the Pega Survey Smart shape was used to configure a list of complex set of questions using Question rules and invoked using the Survey shape, the reload system was not passing the subscript value for the Page group property pyQuestionnaire. This caused an Invalid Reference exception and displayed an error pop up for the end user. Investigation traced this to a call to RefreshList to load a section holding pyQuestionnaire(Subscript) page content which was in place as part of a legacy fix but which has since been made unnecessary due to infrastructure changes in the DOM utilities. To resolve this, the ComplexQuestionCheckboxTemplate and pzComplexQuestionCheckBoxTemplateRowDetails section rules have been updated to remove the RefreshList action on checkbox.
