Performance improvements for stale thread warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Stale thread warnings were causing performance issues during dataflow run execution. Stale thread/slow component warnings are added as part of the dataflow execution when a processing thread takes more than 5 minutes to process a single dataflow record. The stacktrace of the dataflow thread is added as part of the warning for debugging purposes, but in some scenarios the stacktrace can become very large. This has been resolved by removing the stacktraces from the warning, improving the query logic, and adding the run ID to the exception method to assist if there is an error.

Decision Management book updated for additional NLP troubleshooting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Troubleshooting articles have been added to the Decision Management book which address the most common issues encountered when working with the NLP capability of Pega Platform, including topic and entity detection and email parser. These tips can assist with issues such as a node running out of memory due to having a large number of custom Ruta scripts that use REGEX pattern matching.

Addressed performance issues for classless DSMClipboardPage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The DSMClipboardPage implementation handles Page Group access as a classless page (i.e. pxObjClass = ""), creating potential performance issues in implementations where the page group is used with a very large number of distinct AccountIDs in a short period. This has been resolved by updating the system to not cache keys for page group classless page.

Resolved error for custom relative dates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
An error was seen when parsing the [Date Property] [is before/after] [Last/Next x days] while using a custom amount of number of days in Customer Decision Hub (CDH). This was due to the system not supporting the [Last/Next x days] feature for SSA, but only detecting this during parsing for the prefixed values for Proposition Filters and not custom values. As the parser did not realize the construct referring to the relative date was not supported, it created an SSA that caused an exception during execution. This has been resolved.

Global obfuscation key initialized on first requestor call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using URLEncryption = true and SubmitObfuscatedURL = optional, attempting to export an Excel spreadsheet resulted in the error "Invalid character found in the request target". This was traced to the variable pega.d.globalobfuscateKey having a null value which was then converted to a byte array and decoded, generating improper characters in the URL. After a browser refresh, the correct value was set in pega.d.globalobfuscateKey and the export worked as expected. To resolve this, an update has been made to initialize the key on the very first call in PRRequestorImpl when the global obfuscation key is determined to be NULL instead of initializing the global obfuscation key by on-demand basis from HTTPAPI.

Signature map updated for fetching keys
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
MFA login worked with SAML 2.0 when the certificate was disabled but failed when the certificate was enabled in Auth Service. The error " "Signature algorithm is null" appeared. This has been resolved by updating the signature map to ignore case sensitivity while fetching keys.

RDA support added for Citrix XenApp
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Robot Runtime was not working in a Citrix XenApp environment when using the JWT token generated by the D_pxRoboticJWTToken data page to identify the user. This has been resolved by updating the scope of the datapage D_pxRoboticJWTToken from node level to requestor, which will allow the user information in the JWT token to be passed to the routing service and support the use of RDA in Citrix environments.

Basic Access Control (BAC) now available in production level 2+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.

Filtering added for DisableDormantOperators
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When running the Disable Dormant Operators agent, many operators were seen which were dormant but not disabled. Investigation showed the activity was fetching all of the operators without filtering the deactivation state. This has been resolved by adding a filter condition in pzDisableDormantOperators to fetch only deactivate state users.
