Added handling for clustered index on the pr4_rule table during migration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When attempting to migrate the rules schema to RULES85 and temp data schema DATA85, the upgrade was becoming stuck in a loop while working to generate declarative indexes for Rule-HTML-Paragraph. Investigation showed the infinite looping happened only for classes mapped to the pr4_rule and with instance count of more than (num of threads * batch size). This was due to the presence of a clustered index on the pr4_rule table causing the resultset to return an infinite number of records in SQLServer, and has been resolved with an update to leverage the total record count to iterate the resultset instead of depending on the resultset.next().

Handling added for Oracle "NUMERIC" type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a product rule was created in an environment using Oracle, importing the product into the cloud environment with database table schema changes resulted in errors. This was traced to a change in Oracle's JDBC driver which was reporting Number as a JDBC "NUMERIC" type instead of the previous "DECIMAL". Pega uses the NUMBER data type and expected a type=DECIMAL for an Oracle number, causing the errors. This has been resolved by adding a check for flex numbers if column is NUMERIC.

Updated debug logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Debug logging within IndexReferenceSynchronizer and FastLoader has been updated. With this update, IndexReferenceSynchronizer debug logging will indicate what the action is for each instance, FastLoader will include information about the keys being loaded and statements being executed, and duplicate logging has been removed from BatchSQLExecutors.

Handling updated for social messaging items with very large embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
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.

UpgradeInteractionCase modified to update work page on save
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After update, service cases were failing to unpend when using a custom data transform that accessed the D_CorrespondenceCase data page. Investigation showed the D_CorrespondenceCase data page was internally using the D_pxGetInteractionCaseDetails data page; this call upgraded and saved and committed the case but this commit released the lock which the custom data transform had acquired. Because this happened before accessing the CorrespondenceCase datapage, it led to an error while committing the service case details. To resolve this, the postprocessing activity "pyUpgradeInteractionCase" of D_pxGetInteractionCaseDetails has been modified to write the update on the work page as soon as a save is performed.

Added exception handling for PageGroup alerts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Queue items were going to the broken queue if there was an issue fetching the alert configuration from the Queue Processor rule. The error "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Alert id cannot be blank" was seen. This has been resolved by adding exception handling while gathering alerts from PageGroup so that a malformed alert configuration will not cause overall failure of a processed message, but instead an empty alert will be returned if configuration-data is corrupted.

JobScheduler updated to better handle DST change
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
If a job scheduler was set to run on a weekly basis between 1 AM CET and 3 AM CET, the DST time change caused the job scheduler to skip that week. During DST, there is one 23-hour day in the year, and if execution time is set to that missing hour the system was throwing an IllegalArgumentException for the non-existent date. This has been resolved by adding a check that verifies whether a given date does exist; if it does not exist, the system will postpone execution time by one hour.

Error text revised for parameterized data page used for token generation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
While trying to add a claim in the header of a Token Generation Profile instance, selecting Map From as "Clipboard" and trying to give any DataPage(parameterized) as the source property failed to be saved and the error "JWS Alias— Please provide correct algorithm key with correct key length." appeared. Changing the "Map From" to a Constant and giving a dummy value worked as expected. Tracer showed the error "declare page parameters not supported by PropertyReference", indicating the actual issue: at this time, the Token profile does not support using a parameterized data page. This has been addressed by ensuring an appropriate error message is shown on save of the token profile rule form when a parameterized data page reference is configured. The error will now read "The reference D_pzPreferenceStore[PreferenceOperatorID:"[email protected]"].pxObjClass is not valid. Reason: Parameterized data page reference is not supported." Support for a parameterized data page used with Map From will be taken as an enhancement for a future release.

Override added to delete records for a stream dataset after processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Kafka data was accumulating for a Stream data set due to huge volume of inbound calls. This has been resolved by adding support to override pyDeletedProcessed through a DASS in order to remove the records for a particular stream dataset (topic) as soon as they are processed by Pega.
