Cleanup added for staging directory
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Temporary files from imports and exports (from DevOps) were filling up the staging area disk space because there was no automatic process for cleaning up these local files. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will clear the directory on Engine Startup and any time ParUtils.setStagingDirectory gets called to initialize the staging directory.

SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server. (The SameSite value "None" works only in secure HTTPS connections.) Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For cookie requirements other than mashup, it should be set as either Strict or Lax, depending upon your application.

Warnings pull from report definition page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When a report definition filter was used in the "Class instances to include" section of the Product rule, severe warnings appeared noting "Report definition filter performance issues for LookupDataMigration : Using a custom HTML control to format a column may result in poor performance displaying query results. Consider using auto-generated HTML controls". However, the report definition used, LookupDataMigration, has no Custom HTML control in the latest version of the rule, and the "CheckForWarnings" rule for the product was running a report definition in the "Index-Warning" class which has the warnings for all the versions of the rule. This was due to warnings being displayed in the product for the report definition filter without applying rule resolution for report definition, resulting in warnings from all report definition version rules from a ruleset given a report definition name. This has been resolved by adding an update which will use Obj-Open to read the warnings from report definition page instead of looking up for warnings from Index-Warnings table.

Patchdate values made unique
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The hotfix manager was incorrectly indicating that a previous hotfix was not installed or was partially installed and should be reinstated. This scenario was created during security updates where the missing/incomplete hotfix had been deliberately deleted from the database, and has been resolved by adding an update which will force patchdate to be unique when adding duplicate code resources during tests.

Handling updated for rule export errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
After exporting the rules from E2E, the import to the production mirror failed. Investigation showed that the process encountered a time out from an Adaptive Decision Manager table when exporting the product rule, resulting in the product file not containing the mandatory jar files. This has been resolved by updating the handling of errors during export, and suppressing auto-chaining when generating app JSON.
