Wrapper added to set correct bulk transfer context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Bulk transfer was not working as expected when transferring an assignment from a flow defined in data class. Investigation showed the bulk transfer UI was getting picked from work- class while the post processing was running under data class context: this has been resolved by creating a wrapper activity in baseclass to call the post processing activity Work- .

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.

CheckFlowDependencies query performance improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
In order to improve performance on very large tables, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified. Previously, checking whether a dependency exists retrieved all columns. The updated query will instead return a count.

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.

Additional diagnostic logging added for ElasticSearch startup issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The PyIndexerState was stuck in Starting status during node initialization. This issue could occur if the filesystem became hung due to network level issue while scanning entries from /etc/mtab, resulting in a lock which was not released correctly. In order to better determine which node entry in a cluster may be responsible for the hang, an update has been made which will use a temporary virtual environment to repeat the part of the initialization phase responsible and generate additional logs for debugging. To activate this, the PegaSearch.Diagnostics logger must be set in DEBUG mode. This duplicated virtual initialization will not interrupt the normal initialization.

Updated replica management for search clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When using a cluster with two Universal nodes in the cluster, a daily restart process where the second node was not started until the first was fully up resulted in Search initialization failing for the first node while becoming active on the second node. This was traced to the methods used in increasing and decreasing replicas. This has been resolved by revising the handling of ElasticSearch node lifecycle and replicas through a new option "Dindex.searchNodeCount " which includes a specification for the number of expected search nodes. If this option is not present, the old method will be used.

BIX Total Instance count matches manifest
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The BIX Manifest file was showing a count mismatch when the BIX Manifest and Extract files were shared with downstream teams, causing data to not be accepted by the downstream application. Investigation showed this occurred for an embedded page list property in the sequence that was missed and not considered. To resolve this, a DSS has been added: when BIX/generateAllEmptySubscriptForPageList is set to true, an empty subscript will be generated for the missed properties.

Restore point handling updated for absent pzpvstream column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
While executing the “get restore point” action for rollback, a PZPVSTREAMerror error occurred with the message "(util.HistoryCollectorDataModel) WARN|Rest|SystemManagement|v2|restorepoint - History collection for the table will be slow because it does not have all of the required columns". This was a missed use case for Robotics Automation not having a pzpvstream column for one of the tables; this has been corrected with a check to validate for pzpvstream column so the system will not seek history records if the pzpvstream column is not present.
