Restored local blocking queue cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, it was not possible to bring up secondary VBD nodes after restarting. Investigation traced this to earlier work done to resolve a memory leak issue, in which stale entries for local blocking queues were removed from cache. This resulted in modifying the queue listener logic to use "cache.getQueueIfPresent(jobId)" instead of "cache.getQueue(jobId)". Because the listener was not creating the cache if it was not present and the cache which held the local blocking queue didn't have the entry for the current remote execution job ID, the caller of the remote execution on Node2 ended up in blocking state forever, waiting on the local blocking queue. To resolve this, the code has been updated to ensure the blocking queue is created and stored in the local queue cache before publishing the remote job message.

Performance improvements for revalidate and save
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In order to improve performance when working with very large numbers of class definitions, an update has been made to optimize the revalidate and save process by avoiding looking up all classes on the system instead using ClassDefinition for existence and checking ancestor data to ensure class is a Rule- or Data- descendant.

Enhancements added for external Kafka Stream Service
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
To ensure data privacy when using multi-tenant Stream Service hosted on a single Kafka cluster, access will be authorized based on ACLs when a tenant sends direct requests to Kafka. In addition, all Kafka resources (topics and consumer groups) are now able to contain a prefix naming convention which can be used for tenants. This is handled through using a <env name="services/stream/name/pattern" value="{tenant.name}-{environment}-{stream.name}"/> prconfig setting to set the stream name pattern. For example, if the tenant.name is resolved into "companyname", environment into "prod1", and the stream dataset name is pyFTSIncrementalIndexer, then the Topic name created on the external Kafka will be companyname-prod1-pyFTSIncrementalIndexer.

APIs updated for sending large attachments with MSGraph
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Sending mail using MSGraph was failing with the exception "Error during http request" when attachments were greater than 3MB. This was traced to changes made by Microsoft in the Graph API implementation which caused it to throw a runtime exception instead of the expected 413 status code and relevant message for the attachment size. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure that any attachment larger than 3MB is sent via the Microsoft Outlook API.

Latitude and longitude populated for CreateWork history
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After enabling geo location in the casetype rule, when the case was created using the Create menu option from either Dev studio or Manager portal the Latitude and longitude values were set on the pxRequestor page and were available in the Case Audit history in the Map control. When the same case was created using CreateWork action configured on a button, it did not log the latitude and longitude values in the case Audit history. Investigation showed this was caused by a 'when' condition in the AddWorkHistory activity which checks the requestor page for latitude value and which had a null value when a createWork action was used to create the case. To correct this, the template metadata of the form will be populated with latitude and longitude values from pxRequestor page to be used in the latitude and longitude hidden fields.

Session timer corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Configuring pxsessiontimer in the Portal header to log users off after 30 minutes was not working as expected: users were still logged in the next day or after keeping the session idle for more than 30 minutes. After waking up the system, it was possible to search clicking on the search results resulted in being logged out. This was traced to the ShowLogoffTimer activity not being correctly registered, and has been resolved.
