Fixed cataloging for framework hotfixes with non-java code
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
The system was unable to catalog Strategic Application hotfixes that included non-java code instances (e.g. .xml or .properties files) due to Framework hotfixes using a different version format that caused validation failure. To correct this, the system will bypass redundant release version validation for Strategic Application hotfixes so that it can catalog non-java code instances.

Access Group Guardrail warning removed from password change
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
Changing the password for the '[email protected]' operator generated the warning: 'The same Access Group should not be shared by Operators and Requestor Types. Access group PRPC:Agents was also referenced by Requestor Type DATA-ADMIN-REQUESTOR PRPC!BATCH'. The password change did take effect as expected. This guardrail warning was shown if the Access group used by the [email protected] operator, i.e. PRPC:Agents, was specified in any of Data-Admin-Requestor instance, and has been resolved by removing the unnecessary check.

Specification rule save-as loads requirements
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
While doing 'Save As' of a Specification rule from a locked ruleset version to a higher unlocked version of the ruleset, the linked Requirements were not shown in the Requirements section under the Details tab. Sometimes a refresh would show the requirements, but intermittently an exception would be generated. This was traced to the system not auto-populating the requirements list on 'save as' of the specification, and code has been added to PostActionSaveAs of the 'Rule-Application-UseCase' class to populate the Requirements link on 'save as' of this rule.

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.

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
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).

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
The setting Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=true has been added for use when JMX authentication is enabled by providing jmxuser/password through prconfig.

TextMask_Encrypted rule added for use with Oracle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When a property was being encrypted by propertyEncrypt access control policy and masked by propertyRead access control policy, it showed a "@@getMaskedValueOfText" error. This has been resolved with the addition of a new rule pxTextMask_Encrypted for Oracle product type which will remove extra spaces from the SOURCE string to handle ORACLE specific usecases.

Delay Factor updated to allow values < 1.0
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
After modifying the "Delay factor" parameter on a queue processor rule and and clicking the "Save" button, refreshing the page caused the value of the "Delay factor" parameter to change. This has been resolved by updating the delay calculation strategy to support factors < 1.0.
