Authentication timeout smoothed for re-login
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
If custom authentication was used with a stream specified to enter credentials upon authentication timeout, re-login failed after the timeout. This was traced to two issues: first, the custom configuration defaulted to using the out-of-the-box stream "Web-TimeOut", which expects the password to be in base64 encoded format and so attempts to base64 decode it. This caused an authentication failure. Second, when restarting with authentication instead of a timed-out request, the starting activity of operator was being executed and the portal was rendered unexpectedly. To resolve this, the object references needed for the successful resumption will be cloned when there is authentication timeout and used for redirection upon successful authentication.

pzSUS Param properly URLEncoded
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The Tomcat 8+ server was rejecting DWA URLs due to characters such as {,} that it considered to be unsafe. These characters were introduced by pzSus key in the URL, and these values will now be encoded for the browser to resolve these issues.

Modifications to getFunctionalServiceNodes process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
The count of the Interaction History write related threads was increasing rapidly and a stack trace indicated "waiting on condition" and "java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (parking)" errors. Investigation showed that this was due to getFunctionalServiceNodes using Hazelcast to determine node status by making a service request on an installation with a very large number of nodes, causing thread locking. To resolve this, the implementation has been updated to avoid calling getFunctionalServiceNodes on save of Interaction History, instead using Cassandra and only calling getFunctionalServiceNodes on the master node, not on all nodes.

Behavior made consistent between SSA and legacy engines
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
There was a behavioral disparity between the legacy execution engine and the SSA engine where the latter was not creating a new page when the index was one above the size of the page list. This has now been corrected in order to make the SSA behavior fully backward compatible with the legacy engine, i.e. a new blank page will be added to the list if the index is one above the size of the list.

Updated precondition checks for Tumbling Time data in event strategies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Tumbling Time data keys in event strategies were not being properly executed when certain window configurations were used. This was has been resolved by turning off the optimalization of Cassandra reads for small windows when window size is not known upfront and set dynamically (set size by property). In addition, an issue with Cassandra timeouts after the dataflow run had been running for several months has been resolved by adding a 'time to live' value for tumbling time windows, and event strategies has been switched to use leveled compaction by default.

Improved management for table pr_log_dataflow_events
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
The Lifecycle event table was sometimes growing too large. This additional strain of database transaction volume caused poor performance on the Dataflow tier and lead to cluster instability and time-consuming cluster restarts. Due to problems in one of the Pulse tasks, the Pulse thread was not processing single case metrics properly and causing the unbounded queue for single case to grow. This has been addressed by switching to a fixed queue size, which is configurable with the DSS: dnode/single_case_queue_size. The default value of the DSS is 4000, and if changed a system restart is required. An error will be logged each 1000 queue misses, and metrics will be dropped if the queue is full. In addition, the Pulse task frequency has been improved and managed to prevent interference with other Pulse tasks and will be triggered only if a run is system-paused for a long interval. Rebalances now have a failsafe if something unexpected happens during the Pausing of the run, and If the cluster becomes unstable, the life cycle events logs may be disabled with dataflow/run/events/persist .
