Enhancement added for node heartbeat recovery process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nodes were not showing up in the admin portal even though they were up and running and could be seen in the pr_sys_statusnodes table. The exception "An exception was encountered while invoking the cluster membership listener callback" was seen. All nodes became visible again after multiple restarts. The root cause was traced back to a temporary database connectivity problem. The database itself was fine according to database monitoring reports, but a network problem, a slow database query, or another issue prevented Pega from establishing a connection for more than a minute. An enhancement has been made to resolve this: if a node becomes unhealthy due to the service registry missing due to a failed heartbeat, the heartbeat will try to recover after 60 seconds and keep trying every 30 seconds until it succeeds.

Resolved Cassandra query read/write latency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Read/write latency was seen when certain Cassandra queries were triggered by the system. This was traced to an unusual case where a flush was not done for an exceptionally long time period, and has been resolved.

Hot Fix Manager updated to use installation order for schema import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Schema changes were not being imported during the hot fix manager DL import process. Investigation showed this was due to hotfixes in the DL being iterated over from newest to oldest, causing older hotfixes to replace the value added to a map by the newer. To resolve this, the system has been updated to use hotfix install order, which considers selected and dependent hotfixes, rather than ordering newest to oldest. This ensures that newer table representations will override older rather than the other way around.

IH Summaries correctly loads aggregated count
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After the IH Aggregated DataFlow has processed more than 34 million records from an Oracle database, the IH Fact table contained only ~120,000 records. Running a browse on the pxInteractionHistory DS resulted in an infinite loop. Investigation showed that this was caused by the handling of Oracle timestamps: using Pega DateTime in query parameters generated Oracle DATE instead of TIMESTAMP, causing all query parameters to be rounded to the second and interfering with the IH pre-aggregation. This has been resolved by updating the handling.

Null check added for Entity Extraction result
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Training data for an Entity Extraction model was not getting distributed correctly, as per the given % data. This was due to the result of the Entity Extraction result being null, and has been resolved by adding a check that will consider detected types as primary candidate for grouping if the result column is null.

Ignore Case feature updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
In Pega Marketing 8.4 on the Action rule form, configuring an eligibility criteria and selecting the option for the comparison to ignore case did not copy this part of the criteria to the back proposition filter rule, so the case of the comparison was not ignored at runtime. This has been corrected.

ResolveFTCR flow Draft mode turned off
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When using the FastTrack Change Request functionality of Revision Manager 8.3 the submission was going to Pending packaging instead of Resolved-Completed with the error "flow is in draft mode; it cannot be executed". This was due to pxResolveFTCR flow having been checked in with Draft mode turned on, and has been corrected by turning Draft mode off.

PropertyToColumnMap made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
The DF_ProcessEmails dataflow was intermittently failing with a StageException error. This was traced to schema changes being propagated asynchronously by system pulse, which seem to have caused PropertyToColumnMap to cache stale schema. To resolve this, if the property mapping is not found the first time, the system will make a second attempt to get the mapping. Additional logging has also been added for better diagnostics.

Report Definition replaced with a data set for training the data and build model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
An issue with training the data and build model via an email or chat channel was traced in an exception in logs indicating the inability to execute a Report Definition. This can happen when UDF are removed/disabled in the database or in environments where functions are not allowed to read the blob for performance reasons. To resolve this, the Report Definition has been replaced with a data set.
