QueueProcessor timeout made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Queue Processor timeouts were causing thread interruptions, causing items to be processed more than once. To resolve this, the QueueProcessor kafka-write timeout has been made configurable via the DASS Pega-Engine:queueprocessor/dataset/write/timeoutMs

Scheduled-item operations performed in shared context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Scheduled items were not getting processed either by DelayedItemsDataFlowService data flow or by reverting to the pzDelayedQueueProcessorSchedule Job Scheduler, and the number of scheduled items in the pr_sys_delayed_queue table continued to grow even though DelayedItemsDataFlowService showed the processed record count to be increasing. Because the Admin Studio portal was not equipped to show the scheduled record count for the tenant layer in a multi-tenant environment, only the scheduled record count for the shared layer was shown. This has been resolved by updating the system to perform scheduled-item operations in shared context.

Job Scheduler explicitly unlocked after nodes restart
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
If a job scheduler was in running state and the utility nodes were restarted, the background processing nodes were not coming up and resuming as expected and PersistentJobCleanupFactory:PresentMembersJobCleanup was throwing a stale execution exception. Investigation showed locks were not being removed from the database for the job scheduler when the restart was performed (noted in pegadata.pr_sys_locks table), preventing further runs. This has been resolved by adding an explicit lock removal process for this condition.

Added deferred loading for email cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When there were a significant number of email interactions on an email case, delays were seen when loading the case in the UI. Investigation traced this to a high number of database calls along with the BLOBs also being open. To improve performance, the new rule pyDeferLoadEmails has been added which toggles the UI and loads emails faster. In addition, the button label has been modified to read "View all emails" in place of "Show all" while defer load is enabled.

GetAllEmailWork temp page renamed to avoid conflict
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The default Email manager portal was not displaying new email triage cases. Investigation showed that because the GetAllEmailWork and CaseBreadCrumbPopulate activities were using a common name for the clipboard page "TempPage", when CaseBreadCrumbPopulate removed the TempPage clipboard page as one of its steps a null pointer exception occurred for GetAllEmailWork. To resolve this, an update has been made to rename "TempPage" to "TempPageET" for GetAllEmailWork so the names will not conflict.

Handling updated for social messaging items with very large embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Job scheduler was running out of memory while handling large/multiple files, causing nodes to crash while handling Social Messaging items. Inline images were also not being sent in the ACK email. Investigation traced this to a custom job scheduler and activity used to create PDFs from email communication and send the PDFs to a third-party system. This used the standard Email Triage/PegaSocial functionality for the emails, which were stored as instances of PegaSocial-Message. The custom Job scheduler and activity then leveraged the Data Page D_pxEmailPosts to retrieve the emails in order to harvest the text from the emails. The issue occurred when a number of the emails had multiple or large embedded images in them, meaning the PegaSocial-Message instances are very large. This resulted in the node running out of memory and crashing. To resolve this, code has been added to support inline images in ACK email and the complete message from Pulse will be used instead of the original message as the email body for the ACK email.

Corrected intelligent routing in email channel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Intelligent language-based routing in the email bot channel was not working as expected when given a condition to direct messages to a different operator based on language. Messages were placed in the Inbound Correspondence work basket instead. This was traced to the getRoutingActions API using the incorrect property from .pxAnalysis, and has been resolved.

Updated URL construction for inline images for better performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
System slowness was seen, and inline images were not getting displayed when the case was opened. This has been resolved by modifying pyExtractHtmlFromAttachment to ensure the image source URL is built in a consistent way whether or not there is a cache to call from.

HTML attachments conditionally shown in email listener cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When Rich text/html (non-plain text) emails were ingested in email, the original mail was not getting added to the case. Investigation showed that the pzCreateTriageWork activity had an explicit delete step to remove any attachment that started with 'email-content'. Since the HTML attachment name starts with 'email-content', it was deleted in above activity. This has been resolved by adding a when rule named 'pyLinkEmailTriageContentHTML' which will conditionally show email-content.html.
