Retry logic added for downloading upgraded rules

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8

A Rules upgrade failed while downloading applications from the maintenance server due to an SFTP server connection failure. This has been resolved by adding logic to retry if the first connection attempt fails.

Resolved buffer overflow for Migration loadDatabase

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8

A Rules upgrade failed in the Migration step at loadDatabase stage, involving the move of all the table records from old schema to new schema. This was traced to the inability of Migration to load blob of sizes more than 100 MB, and has been resolved by updating Migration to use byte[] to read the blob content with the help of metadata that contains blob length.

TableRenameUtil hashing improved

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8

During index name generation, the algorithm that was responsible for index name uniqueness was sometimes insufficient and cerated a loop condition. This has been resolved by using a stronger hash algorithm and refactoring the code that could result in a loop.

Updated upgrade handling for migrating work objects

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6

After upgrading from Pega 6.2 to 8.3, the work migrated work objects were missing SLAs due to missed entries in the assignment tables (PC_ASSIGN_WORKLIST/ PC_ASSIGN_WORKBASKET) . The SLA was firing, but the processing failed due to the fact the runtime could not resolve a 'AddHistoryPage' library function. In this case, multiple upgrades of the application dating back to Pega 4 resulted in the runtime context containing older ruleset versions in higher ruleset versions, hiding the underlying Pega 8 version of the rule. For releases prior to Pega 7.3, Rule-Application was stored in pr4_rule and will be migrated to pr4_rule_application during upgrades. However, since Context Upgrade is run before Optimize Newly Exposed Columns, the pyDependsOnName won't always be populated. To resolve this, the system will filter based on the value in the blob rather than the exposed column so there will be a value regardless of the upgrade-from version.

Configuration added for extending queue processor timeout

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6

Alerts for queue processor (QP) items which took more than 15 minutes to run could result in the system marking the node as 'unhealthy'. In environments with Pega Health Check enabled, this would shut down the node gracefully. It was not possible to change this default as it was hardcoded. In order to support systems that may have custom processes that run beyond 15 minutes, a a new setting has been exposed that allows configuration of the interval after which a node with long-running queue processor is marked as unhealthy and is restarted. By default this remains 900000 milliseconds / 900 seconds / 15 minutes, but it may be adjusted up to 24 hours to avoid premature node shutdown. The stale thread detection mechanism will take that setting into account and use the provided value or default to 15 minutes if the value was not provided. In addition, the threshold's units in the UI have been changed from ms to seconds.

SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3

The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server. (The SameSite value "None" works only in secure HTTPS connections.)Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For cookie requirements other than mashup, it should be set as either Strict or Lax, depending upon your application.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3

An out of memory error was traced to SearchInventoryImpl infinitely recursing over a clipboard property, where the child property referenced a parent property and resulted in an endless loop. This has been resolved with the addition of a depth check to ensure that the search does not recurse infinitely.

Column type configured correctly in Care Management

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3

When using database tables for concrete class groups with the column pyassignedoperator as character type without size, upon installation on higher environments the message "ERROR: length for type char cannot exceed 10485760 for colum "pyassignedoperator" CHAR (2147483647)" appeared. As a workaround it was possible to manually change the column type, but this issue has been resolved by updating the handling of BPCHAR types while cloning the table. BPCHAR type will be taken as CHAR.

DASS and DAS associated to the Pega-ProcessCommander Ruleset

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3

An upgrade was failing at the point of Pega Rules Upgrade in the Installer Instance with the error "Encountered database exception when preprocessing deferred operations <insert updatesCache instance DATA-ADMIN-SYSTEM PEGA not only if new>. This node not found in the database - Either the record was never saved or was deleted. Unable to join the cluster." This error occurred because the strategic application import during upgrade manually included a "systemname" DASS instance which had a value other than "prpc". This caused a override of the platform shipped DASS (with value "prpc), which is required by the upgrade. In order to avoid this condition, DASS and DAS have been associated to the Pega-ProcessCommander Ruleset.

JDBC URL handling added for Oracle over TCPS

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3

While attempting to upgrade an environment over TCPS, the generateDDL.sh script was failing. The same environment ran without issue on Tomcat with the same URL. Investigation showed the JDBC url was not correctly generated while running the upgrade: in a standard scenario, there will be no spaces in the JDBC URL specified. However, because Oracle can send spaces as part of JDBC URL and cause this issue, an update has been made which will quote the JDBC URL argument for the ant target in setupDDL.xml.
