Restored local blocking queue cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
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.

Repaired Tracer use with Google Chrome
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After running Tracer while using Chrome, closing it and trying to run another resulted in an error indicating "Cannot Launch multiple tracer sessions for a requestor". This was identified as a bug with Google Chrome Versions greater than 70 and was caused by Chrome deprecating the use of sync XHR on page dismissal, and has been resolved by modifying the system to use a beacon API instead.

API added to sync presence with requestor to clear inactive operator sessions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
An intermittent error message was seen indicating the maximum number of active sessions for the current operator had been reached even though there were not multiple logins and there was no requestor displayed in the requestor management landing page. This was traced to sessions that were not properly closed and cleared, and has been resolved by exposing an API that will sync the presence record with the requestor state so inactive sessions will be cleared.

To resolve this, the Atmosphere library has been updated to version 2.4.5.7 which contains the fix for this error.

Tracer expiration set for five minutes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Tracer was not terminating on tracer window closure. On the next attempt to open a trace, a message appeared stating "Cannot Launch Multiple Tracer Sessions for a requestor. This requestor is being traced by operator". Tracer session termination was dependent on the browser executing code on window close. Because this event may not be triggered for number of reasons, updates have been made to set tracer session expiration at 5 minutes. In addition, the system will clean up expired sessions before checking for existing sessions.
