Filter considers all instances pages during deployment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
During package deployment, attempting to use Filter to skip some of the instances only displayed the result of the current active page instead of all pages. This was an unintended consequence of previous work, and has been resolved by adding the logic to strip quotes in the value and adding the "Pagination activity manages filtering" checkbox by default.

Enhancement added for attachment size handling with Kafka
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Attempting to send an email attachment larger than 2 MB resulted in the error "Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.RecordTooLargeException: The message is 8101592 bytes when serialized which is larger than the maximum request size you have configured with the max.request.size configuration." This has been resolved by updating the Stream SPI size to 2.0.5-14 to support custom producer configurations. The settings can be passed as environment parameters, for example 'Dstream.producer.max.request.size=500990'.

Kerberos handling updated for database remap
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.4, using Kerberos authentication was failing during the remap task. Investigation showed that null username and password values were being passed to SchemaAssignmentUtility along with the flags as arguments, causing the utility to misinterpret the arguments. As arguments should be populated only when flags and values are available and not null, an update has been made which will set the username and password flags only if they are not null in the Remap database tables target.

Added handling for double quotes when converting tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After importing some packages from development to production, DDL conversion failed for tables with 30 characters in the table name when the import file contained a "Create VIEW" sentence. This was due to the addition of double quotes (" "). The table rename utility was not expecting to handle quoted table names, so as a result the addition of the quotation mark characters were included in the length calculation, and when renaming was performed it yielded syntactically invalid names (with leading " in the name). To resolve this, an update has been made which will strip quotes from table names being passed into TableRenameUtil.

Unneeded AUC error percentage calculation removed for better system performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When generating snapshots of the ADM models, an inefficiency in the metric calculation for the AUC error percentage caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated which could cause slowdown or require a system reboot. This has been resolved by removing the problematic AUC error percentage calculation as it is not used in the UI.

CustomerData schema added to list of databases for optimization

Run Ruleset Cleanup defaults to true
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
After upgrade, the rule categories and rules were not showing correctly in the App view of the Dev Portal. Many warning messages were also logged related to the Decisioning DM Sample application. This was traced to the rules cleanup script not running properly. While there was a workaround of applying the ruleset cleanup scripts manually after removing the queries that reference the pr_engineclasses table, the cleanup will now be set to run by default (run.ruleset.cleanup=true). In addition, the logic to determine which RuleSets to include has been simplified and most of the pr4_rule_vw deletions have been combined.
