Iteration method updated for SetRequiredSkillsCountColumn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update, database utilization spiked and did not drop. Investigation traced this to the use of Local.totalCount in pzSetRequiredSkillsCountColumn, which caused the iteration loop to run more times than necessary. This has been resolved by replacing Local.totalCount with Local.iterationsCount in the iteration.

Bulk Transfer Audit displays correct label
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After Bulk Transferring an assignment, the audit showed the flow action rule name instead of the label. This has been addressed by creating a field value for the name 'pyTransferAssignment' and updating the param.actionLabel to refer to the localized value.

Updated handling for Navigation Breadcrumb DisplayFlag
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
On hitting 'previous' the old breadcrumb was visible instead of the expected flowaction. This was a missed edge case for having 'when' conditions before a subprocess shape, and has been resolved by having the pyDisplayFlag be considered conditionally so that even when the display flag for the top level subprocess is false, if the current flow action / assignment belongs to the subprocess, the system will show the breadcrumb for the same.

Added check for StageHistory page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update, the pyDisplayStages section was not visible in pyCaseMainInner due to the 'when' condition pxHasStages not being satisfied. This was traced to a customization for the pyStartCase flow in one of the case types which resulted in a blank pxStageHistory page being set under pyWorkPage, and has been resolved by adding a 'when' condition to check whether pxStageHistory page exists so the step will only execute if the pxStageHistory page is present.

Basic Access Control (BAC) now available in production level 2+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
An enhancement has been added to enable the Basic Access Control (BAC) feature for production levels 2 or greater. This is a change from being available previously only in levels 4 and 5, and will facilitate diagnosing access control issues earlier in the development process.

SAML datapages cleared before new authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
If a previous user had not logged out or timed out when using SAML authentication, a second person using the same device/browser would end up in the first user's session after performing their own authentication. Investigation showed the second login D_SAMLAssertionDataPage was not getting refreshed with the current user login details; this has been resolved by explicitly deleting the SAML Datapages before processing a new login if the session has not timed out.

Performance improvement for offline mobile app
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Performance issues on an offline mobile app were traced to an empty browser fingerprint caused by a declared variable which was not assigned a value. This has been resolved by adding a !pega.offline check for fireDeferredAsyncRequests.

Locking APIs updated to handle CDK key rotation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
it was not possible to save cases for several hours following the CDK key rotation. This was traced to an exception that caused the system to attempt to acquire a lock on the CDK key instance, and normal save behavior would resume after the default sys lock time out period expired. This has been resolved by updating the system to use LockManager APIs to perform a database save with locks.

Updating handling for for Pega-supplied operators with MFA
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When a site is blocking prweb and using prweb/PRAuth for login with MFA enabled, admin user id logins failed and MFA showed the error screen for Pega-supplied users. This was due to MFA verification not being configured for Pega-supplied operators, and has been resolved by adding an Adminstrator condition to skip MFA for for Pega-supplied operators.
