Iteration method updated for SetRequiredSkillsCountColumn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update, database utilization spiked and did not drop. Investigation traced this to the use of Local.totalCount in pzSetRequiredSkillsCountColumn, which caused the iteration loop to run more times than necessary. This has been resolved by replacing Local.totalCount with Local.iterationsCount in the iteration.

CheckFlowDependencies query performance improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
In order to improve performance on very large tables, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified. Previously, checking whether a dependency exists retrieved all columns. The updated query will instead return a count.

Bulk Transfer Audit displays correct label
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After Bulk Transferring an assignment, the audit showed the flow action rule name instead of the label. This has been addressed by creating a field value for the name 'pyTransferAssignment' and updating the param.actionLabel to refer to the localized value.

Updated handling for Navigation Breadcrumb DisplayFlag
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
On hitting 'previous' the old breadcrumb was visible instead of the expected flowaction. This was a missed edge case for having 'when' conditions before a subprocess shape, and has been resolved by having the pyDisplayFlag be considered conditionally so that even when the display flag for the top level subprocess is false, if the current flow action / assignment belongs to the subprocess, the system will show the breadcrumb for the same.

Added check for StageHistory page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update, the pyDisplayStages section was not visible in pyCaseMainInner due to the 'when' condition pxHasStages not being satisfied. This was traced to a customization for the pyStartCase flow in one of the case types which resulted in a blank pxStageHistory page being set under pyWorkPage, and has been resolved by adding a 'when' condition to check whether pxStageHistory page exists so the step will only execute if the pxStageHistory page is present.

Documentation updated for using Connect MQ with clustered queues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update to Pega Platform v8.6, an issue was seen with Connect MQ rules that used an alias queue. The support documentation has been revised to outline the necessary steps for updating an application to perform as expected. In the Pega-IntegrationEngine ruleset, create the following dynamic system settings and their default values: "mq/pmo" = 0 "mq/gmo" = 0 "mq/oo_request" = 1040 "mq/oo_response" = 16 For more information, dynamic system setting support articles are available.

Handling updated for queue processor locks
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The Final activity mentioned in the processing epilog of the Service File rule was not being consistently called from File Listener, causing some of the cases to become stuck and not continue to the next stage. Investigation showed that if the lock was held by the queue processor requestor, the system was unable to obtain the lock but still proceeded to update the LogServiceFile page and persist it. This resulted in overwriting changes made on the LogServiceFile page by the requestor, resetting the completed-batches-count set back to 0. To resolve this, RuleServiceFile -> updateLSFBatchCounts() will call the overloaded lockAndLoad() method in LogServiceFile that accepts a parameter called lockAttempts. This will attempt to obtain a lock for a given number of times before throwing an exception.

Decision table query performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Work done previously to improve performance by preventing the decision rule from being treated as a custom rule has been further augmented by preventing the standard Declarative Rules from being treated as Custom Rules while building the Declarative Cache.

Oracle handling updated for primary key in upgrade DDL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Previously, when a primary key of a table was created Oracle would automatically create a unique index with the same name as the primary key. However, with the introduction of Oracle 19, an optimization was added which will not do that if there is another unique index on the table which contains the column(s) of the primary key. This difference can cause updates to fail with the error "cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key". This has been resolved by updating the handling for primary key constraint and the corresponding index name.
