Resolved putting JMS Message through JMS Listener interface
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using MS Listener integrated into Pega running on WebSphere Liberty, the listener was running correctly and able to consume JMS Messages. The JMS Listener ruleform provided options to browse and put JMS messages. However, when attempting to put a message into the destination queue, an error occurred. Investigation showed that if the resource lookup was using 'Resource references' on JMS Listener, the naming context was initialized with a null hashtable. This has been corrected by modifying AddJMSMessage and GenericViewJMSMessage to initialize the naming context with the default constructor RefreshJMSMessages to set JNDIServerName and pass the current parameter page when calling GenericViewJMSMessage.

Class Loader cache values wrapped with WeakReference for improved cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Out Of Memory exceptions due to Metaspace were observed on Web tier instances running with a max Metaspace size of 2GB. Investigation showed that in PRClassLoaderDB, mLoaderCache values were wrapped with a SoftReference. To resolve this, the Class Loader cache values will be wrapped with a WeakReference, allowing the cache to free memory when it is no longer needed. JVM options has also been added to switch types of References being used if there is a preference.

QP exception handling improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
There is currently a configurable maximum size limit for QP items of 5MB. If the message size exceeded 5 MB, the message failed to be enqueued to Kafka, but still ended up in the delayed message table where it remained. This caused issues with pzDelayedQueueProcessorSchedule JS as a result. To resolve this, the system has been updated to better detect Kafka errors related with message size and move any corrupted item to the broken message queue with the appropriate message attached.

Alerting features added for Listeners
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
An enhancement has been added for Email Listener alerts. At the end of each listener's processing cycle, the system will determine the average processing time per message, the total processing time of the listener, the total unread messages count, and total number of messages processed. In each AESRemote agent run, this data will be published to the PDC, where it will be analyzed and any necessary alerts raised.

Discard changes dialog now showing for local actions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After having modified case data without saving and clicking on a menu entry (left menu, search, ...), the system shows a dialog box to ask the user to confirm it is ok to discard changes. However, this confirmation dialog did not work with local actions, leading users to lose their work without any warning nor any way to step back. This was traced to a difference in the dirty form check, which was not present when launching a local action from a case. An enhancement has now been added to the handleMenuAction js function in pypega_ui_harnessactions.js which will perform a dirty form check with a prompt.

pxGenerateExcelFile updated for handling blank dates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When using a custom template for exporting to Excel, blank DateTime property column values defaulted to the current date. To resolve this, the pxGenerateExcelFile activity has been updated to ensure that an empty date will be exported as blank and that given dates will appear in the correct datetime format.

Added explicit step page to resolve null-pointer exception with custom error message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A null pointer exception was generated during case run time harness refresh after a custom error message was inserted. This was traced to a blank step page related to the custom message, and has been resolved by adding a primary step page at step 10 of the New(Work-) activity to prevent the null-pointer exception on harness reload.

oLog.infoForced has been replaced with oLog.debug in GetAssignmentDetailsInternal to reduce excessive logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
The Rest API used by Robotics was generating excessive logging on the application server due toPzGetAssignmentDetailsInternal generating several lines of logs with each REST call. In a high volume system, this can make the logs difficult to utilize. To resolve this, oLog.infoForced has been replaced with oLog.debug.
