Refined dependency checking for Hotfix Manager
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
The logic in Hotfix Manager was changed in 8.3 to include all Strategic Application hotfixes in the Catalog for platform versions 7.4+. However, because there are some edge cases where multiple hotfixes for different strategic application products have been shipped with the same rule changes, it was found that a DL packaged for one application could pick up hotfixes intended for another app. This prevented the DL from installing on systems where both apps were not installed. To avoid picking up these additional hotfixes, while the catalog shipped in the DL will continue to contain all apps, the system has been updated to use only a list of selected products when generating a catalog for calculating dependencies.

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.

Atmosphere library updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Multiple setAttribute exceptions were logged related to the Atmosphere component, indicating "The request object has been recycled and is no longer associated with this facade." Investigation showed that since the request object was destroyed, an illegalstateexception was thrown. 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.

Tracer retains modified user settings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
User settings in tracer were not shown when the settings window was closed and reopened. Investigation showed that settings are filtered based on watchInsKey, but this parameter was passed as "null" for global tracer because of a missing condition to check the session type. This has been resolved by adding a check so the WatchInsKey parameter is passed if the session type is rule watch.
