Filter considers all instances pages during deployment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
During package deployment, attempting to use Filter to skip some of the instances only displayed the result of the current active page instead of all pages. This was an unintended consequence of previous work, and has been resolved by adding the logic to strip quotes in the value and adding the "Pagination activity manages filtering" checkbox by default.

Enhancement added for attachment size handling with Kafka
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Attempting to send an email attachment larger than 2 MB resulted in the error "Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.RecordTooLargeException: The message is 8101592 bytes when serialized which is larger than the maximum request size you have configured with the max.request.size configuration." This has been resolved by updating the Stream SPI size to 2.0.5-14 to support custom producer configurations. The settings can be passed as environment parameters, for example 'Dstream.producer.max.request.size=500990'.

Kerberos handling updated for database remap
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.4, using Kerberos authentication was failing during the remap task. Investigation showed that null username and password values were being passed to SchemaAssignmentUtility along with the flags as arguments, causing the utility to misinterpret the arguments. As arguments should be populated only when flags and values are available and not null, an update has been made which will set the username and password flags only if they are not null in the Remap database tables target.

Added handling for double quotes when converting tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After importing some packages from development to production, DDL conversion failed for tables with 30 characters in the table name when the import file contained a "Create VIEW" sentence. This was due to the addition of double quotes (" "). The table rename utility was not expecting to handle quoted table names, so as a result the addition of the quotation mark characters were included in the length calculation, and when renaming was performed it yielded syntactically invalid names (with leading " in the name). To resolve this, an update has been made which will strip quotes from table names being passed into TableRenameUtil.

Unneeded AUC error percentage calculation removed for better system performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When generating snapshots of the ADM models, an inefficiency in the metric calculation for the AUC error percentage caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated which could cause slowdown or require a system reboot. This has been resolved by removing the problematic AUC error percentage calculation as it is not used in the UI.

CustomerData schema added to list of databases for optimization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
was no "Create?" column. This column appeared for the PegaDATA database but not for CustomerData. To resolve this, the Optimize Schema Landing Page has been updated to treat the CustomerData schema as a shipped Pega database.

White list filter added for X-Forward-Host value security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
In order to improve security, a validation for X-Forward-Host value has been added which will be read from a local configuration. This is in the form of a white list regex filter for the host/XFHost header to ensure the URL's actions cannot be redirected.

Query parameters will be cleared after redirection from authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When using the /PRAuth Servlet, running a snapstart URL generated from a secondary application correctly executed SAML Authentication and Pega processing, but a second URL generated with different parameters ran with the parameters from the first request. The third and subsequent requests processed as expected with the parameters sent in with the request. Investigation showed that the previous parameters were picked due to the query string parameters not being cleared after redirection, and this issue has been resolved by updating the system so it will clear the parameters after issuing a redirect from the authentication policy engine.

Updated HotFix Manager for use in older versions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
The DL logic in Hotfix Manager was changed in 8.3 to include the catalog of all framework changes. This had the unintended side effect of preventing DLs from being installed in Pega 7.3.1 and lower versions as the versions included in the catalog are not present on those systems and the validation failed. This has been resolved by revising the DL update so the system will only add all apps to the catalog for platform 7.4+ DLs.
