Additional diagnostic logging added for ElasticSearch startup issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The PyIndexerState was stuck in Starting status during node initialization. This issue could occur if the filesystem became hung due to network level issue while scanning entries from /etc/mtab, resulting in a lock which was not released correctly. In order to better determine which node entry in a cluster may be responsible for the hang, an update has been made which will use a temporary virtual environment to repeat the part of the initialization phase responsible and generate additional logs for debugging. To activate this, the PegaSearch.Diagnostics logger must be set in DEBUG mode. This duplicated virtual initialization will not interrupt the normal initialization.

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After a job scheduler was configured to run at Start time = 21:00:00 for Time zone = Europe/London, the scheduler determined 20:00:00 as the next start time. This was due to the calculation for the next start time using the time zone offset calculation pattern for the date and time stored in System-Runtime-Context.pxCreateDateTime, which had difficulty with changes to the time zone definition implemented in the time between the given date and today (meaning the current time) such as daylight savings time. To resolve this, the default reference time from System Runtime Context will be 'now' instead of Date(0).

Documentation updated for using Connect MQ with clustered queues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6

Admin Studio will consider cluster protocol when returning listener status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a few nodes in standalone mode for BIX extract combined with server nodes using Hazelcast, opening the admin studio pages with service discovery caused an error to be thrown. This was traced to the system writing an entry to pr_sys_statusnodes table as an embedded node whenever a BIX extract was triggered, causing those standalone nodes to be incorrectly considered by the listener landing page. This has been resolved by configuring the system to either return the local member when the cluster protocol is standalone or to return all Hazelcast members if the cluster protocol is Hazelcast.

Hazelcast packages expanded for Java9+ with kubernetes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Hazelcast warnings were seen in cluster logs when Hazelcast was run in embedded mode or c/s mode on a java modular environment i.e. java 9+ which noted that performance and functional impact issues may result if certain internal modules of java are not given reflection access. This update provides the necessary access to some additional java internal modules/packages per the Hazelcast recommendation.

Handling added for using virtual network interface for Stream Services startup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the restart of any node failed with the error "Unable to create DSM service DATA-DECISION-SERVICE-STREAMSERVER DEFAULT". This has been resolved by adding support for allowing stream service to start on the virtual network interface in cases where it was explicitly configured via the "cluster/hazelcast/interface".
