Search landing page performance improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
Performance improvements have been made for the Pega Platform search landing page by implementing timeouts for all requests to ElasticSearch when executing PegaIndexAdminImpl.getIndicesInfo() and changing all requests for single index to requests for all indexes. In addition, SearchUtils.areDummyDocumentsPresent() has been modified to get all 'dummy documents' in case there are duplicate dummy documents in the ElasticSearch indexes.

DSS added for handling missing attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
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.

Datatype import updated to handle null value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After upgrade, attempting to import CSV files in Data type using the import option provided was not working. This was traced to the AccessPolicy Filter value being set to null in the filterLogic, and has been resolved by modifying the 'if' condition in the NativeSQLSecurityPolicyHelper file to handle an empty value in the logic string of an access control policy condition for a datatype class.

Performance improvements for database queries and archiving
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
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 8.4.5
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.

Queue processor correctly moves items to Broken Items
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
When an exception occurred while Queue Processor processed an item, he queue item was not moved to Broken Items. The error " inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB DatabaseException caused by prior exception" was generated. This has been resolved by modifying the NativeSQL builder and NativeSQLBatchExecutor to allow the batch of queries to be retried. Additional changes were also added for Oracle databases to identify the correct column types.

Excel time values will default to server datetime if operator time zone is null
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
After upgrade, a scheduled report that contained a column using pxDateTime that was supposed to use EST instead used GMT when run and exported to Excel. This has been resolved with an update that will default to using the time zone of the server If the time zone of the operator is empty or null.

Eligibility Builder integer sorting revised
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
In 'Offer' on the Eligibility tab, the Builder was sorting integer properties by the value of the integer as a text string rather than the whole number. Example: 1, 10, 12, 13, 100, 2, 20, 29, 299, 3 instead of the expected 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 20, etc. This was traced to the system sorting the results using tools.sortPageList() in order to sort by localized (string) value, which is not appropriate for values of any type other than string. To resolve this, the system will skip the manual sort step for numeric columns since the values are appropriately sorted by the database.

Error when adding function filter will persist
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When an exception occurred while adding a filter in the report viewer, the error was shown but cleared due to an immediate refresh of the parent section. Analysis found that step2 of pzGetFiltersFromContent was failing, after which the error was shown, the section reload happened, and the error disappeared. To resolve the error being cleared prematurely, the pzOnLoadReloadReport control has been modified so that when there are messages on the top level page (pyReportContentPage), a parameter will be set on HarnessContextMgr to not to clear them during the next refresh call.
