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.

Handling added for external Kafka authorization exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When using external Kafka for stream service, the dataflow was failing with the error 'QueueProcessorDataSubscriberException' when topic create permission was missing. As a workaround, the topics could be pre-created, though a "Topic already exists" warning was generated. To resolve this, the cluster-wide right that a producer needs, IdempotentWrite, has been added. For more information please refer to the link https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka/authorization.html

Corrected malformed URL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The function used in the session timer to log off the user was not working consistently, and attempting to discard a checked-out delegated Rule did discard the rule. Both issues reported the error "HTTP Status 400 - Bad request". This was traced to a badly formed URL, and has been resolved by wrapping the URL with SafeURL_createFromURL.

Corrected OAuth jar version for custom Keystore rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Attempting to create a custom JKS and Keystore rule so it could be pointed to the Pega cipher and use the encrypt and decrypt functionalities failed with an error indicating it was not a valid KMS keystore. This was traced to an issue with a jar version mismatch: upon checking the dependencies for the nimbus-oauth-sdk jar, even though version 6.18.1 was specified the system picked the 8.27 version through transitive dependencies, and the 8.27 version doesn't have the needed CommonContentTypes class. This has been resolved by reducing the version to 6.18.1 in conflicting build.gradle.
