Text retrieval for deprecated "Query" button updated for universal browser support
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
The Firefox popup window provided by the Product rule when querying "Individual Instances to Include" failed to transpose the selected rule information back into the Product ruleform when the OK button was clicked. This was due to the use of the deprecated "Query" button, which does not have support for all browsers, to launch the ListView. To handle this, the node text retrieval method in DataInstancesQueryScript has been updated to use the 'textContent' function (compatible with all browsers) instead of the previous 'innerText'.

Added handling for null rollback info in hotfix autocommit
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
If AutoCommit was selected while installing a hotfix, the auto-commit would fail and leave the hotfix in an Uncommitted state if there were dependent hotfixes where changes were covered by the parent and the child was superseded after installing the parent. Manual commitment of the hotfix worked as expected. This was an edge case where the older hotfix did not get rollback information saved since its components were already installed or superseded, and AutoCommit has been updated to handle this missing information.

Upgrade Assistant enhanced to better resume interrupted process
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
If the system suffered a crash during upgrade, IUA was incorrectly identifying the DB as having completed the upgrade and would import outstanding rules based on the perceived Database BLOB version. This led to a storage-type mismatch between Prod and all lower environments, and BIX jobs would fail due to not being upgraded. An enhancement has been added to the Upgrade Assistant to correctly resume an interrupted upgrade process.

Alter Script generates correct SQL for Oracle db
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
During installation, an incorrect Alter Script was being generated while importing the JAR file due to a missing check on the 'required' XML attribute for dbtype Oracle to decide whether it should be null or not null. This has been corrected to honor the 'required' attribute and accordingly the generated SQL will be appended with null/not null string.

Migration process handles underlying varchar CHAR

Handling for CHAR length semantics has been added for imports of rule schema to support Oracle varchar2 columns, and the import/export will correctly deal with the circumstanced columns of CASETYPEVERSION and PXREFOBJECTCLASS.

Hotfix hashmap cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A DL installation failed with an out-of-memory error. It was observed that many CacheEntry(VersionedJdbcJarRwader.java) hashmaps were being created to store the details for each hotfix but that were then never cleared. This has been resolved by adding the finally block in CodeImportProcessImpl.java class to call the shutdown method for proper cleanup. In addition, the default command line utility (prpcUtils) has been updated to use JVM settings of Xmx 4GB and capture a heap dump if an out-of-memory error is encountered. The auto-generated prconfig.xml has also been updated to leverage its minimal startup setting which will avoid loading the conclusion cache into memory.

Run Ruleset Cleanup defaults to true
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
After upgrade, the rule categories and rules were not showing correctly in the App view of the Dev Portal. Many warning messages were also logged related to the Decisioning DM Sample application. This was traced to the rules cleanup script not running properly. While there was a workaround of applying the ruleset cleanup scripts manually after removing the queries that reference the pr_engineclasses table, the cleanup will now be set to run by default (run.ruleset.cleanup=true). In addition, the logic to determine which RuleSets to include has been simplified and most of the pr4_rule_vw deletions have been combined.

Data pages explicitly cleared after QP use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
The Util Node was showing as Offline in the Search Landing Page, and when Jobs were submitted for execution from other Nodes the message "Detected active run with unreachable nodes" was logged. The util node, configured as a backgroundprocessing node, was running QPs; the queue size for custom QPs is 500 messages /queue items per minute, but investigation showed the requestor level and thread level data pages corresponding to the QP activities were not being cleared after use. This led to high heap memory issues that made the node unreachable, and has been resolved by adding code to explicitly remove the data pages when processing has finished.

Hazelcast upgraded to resolve node startup issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Post data upgrade, the ADM tier failed to start and the error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Node failed to start!" appeared. This was traced to a dormant bug in Hazelcast 3.11 that caused starting nodes to fail when the Hazelcast master node was shutting down, which was exposed by recent Pega changes made to enable parallel restarts of nodes in Cloud environments. Hazelcast delivered a fix for the parallel restart problem and the hotfixed jar has been merged into the platform. In addition, previous logic for loading Admin Studio waited 30 seconds before timing out when fetching information for each node. This caused issues with large clusters and Admin Studio not loading. The logic has been updated in the Admin Studio UI to load the page despite delays/issues waiting for nodes to respond to the gathering of cluster data, and the algorithm to detect remote-call timeout has been updated and is applicable to batch operation.
