Hotfix hashmap cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A DL installation failed with an out-of-memory error. It was observed that many CacheEntry(VersionedJdbcJarRwader.java) hashmaps were being created to store the details for each hotfix but that were then never cleared. This has been resolved by adding the finally block in CodeImportProcessImpl.java class to call the shutdown method for proper cleanup. In addition, the default command line utility (prpcUtils) has been updated to use JVM settings of Xmx 4GB and capture a heap dump if an out-of-memory error is encountered. The auto-generated prconfig.xml has also been updated to leverage its minimal startup setting which will avoid loading the conclusion cache into memory.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
In HttpAPI, the RequestMap contains Cookie information. In error conditions, this map gets logged. An update has been made to ensure that the Cookie value is not logged if there is an error.

Uploaded attachments will receive a unique name to prevent overwriting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
An issue with an incorrect file being attached to a work object was traced to overlapping processes. When files are uploaded, they are first saved to common HDD directory and then read into memory and deleted from the HDD area. Files will overwrite other file carrying the same name, which is a problem if the first file is not completely uploaded and is waiting in the common directory and some other file with the same name is uploaded on top of it. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure file names are appended with a unique identifier to distinguish between files carrying the same names and keep them from overwriting each other.

Verbose debug logging removed from LockUtils
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Verbose debug logging that had been added to the "LockUtils" class to print when the lock was acquired or released and include the associated stacktrace has now been removed as it interfered with diagnosing locking issues when threads were getting blocked.

Corrected requestor status flag for direct map
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Numerous "Unable to create requestor" alerts were logged. This was traced to an error in HttpAPI where after retrieving the requestor from the internal requestor map directly, the requestor creation status flag was not set properly. This caused last action to post that alert instead of the correct notice of "existing requestor retrieved". This has been resolved so the flag reflects the correct status.

Improved performance for "Show-HTML" in a grid with numerous controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
‘Show-HTML’ was taking an excessive amount of time to render a UI for grid with a large number of controls. This was traced to the handling for generating and clearing markup creating an exponential growth situation, and has been resolved by modifying the system to remove redundant copies of a string in the markup string buffer.

Code fragment removed to resolve CookieDisabledException
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, a CookieDisabledException occurred after a post activity was invoked in the single sign-on (SSO) authentication service. This was traced to the site using the deprecated flag "redirectguests" as part of SSO-based login for mashup usecases. This flag was used to check if a cookiedisabled exception was thrown or not, and if there was no cookie, if a requestor was authenticated in first request. However, the flag has been removed as part of work done to omit the Cookie support check on Mobile App UAs. Code that supported the use of this flag remained after that work and led to the exception being generated, but has now been removed as well.

JMS Listener modified to ensure connections are closed after encountering an exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
JMS listener logs were detailing exceptConnection leaks with the message " J000100: Closing a connection for you. Please close them yourself". Investigation showed that when the JMSListener is configured for JBOSS, it goes via EngineImpl. However, connections opened during engineimpl.ivokeEngine were prevented from closing if they encountered an exception. To resolve this, the execution of the connection close command has been moved to the finally block.

Handling added for padding character changes in StatiContent generation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, only 3 tenants were accessible in a MultiTenant environment with 52 tenants. A trace showed 500 and 403 errors, and the message "com.pega.pegarules.pub.context.PRSecurityException: Undefined tenant configuration". This was traced to a different padding character used in the StatiContent code that resulted in the tenant URL being encoded and decoded differently, and has been resolved by adding handling for better padding character compatibility.
