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.

Updated retainLock for DoClose activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After sending an external email notification from a case, attempting to use the "close" button resulted in an access denied error. This was traced to a missed use case for recent security improvements which resulted in not setting the required parameter retainLock for the DoClose activity, and has been resolved.

GetChildcases handling updated for large numbers of cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a very high number of child cases being processed contained a wait shape that was dependent on the movement of a parent case, some of the cases were moved to the next step of the flow automatically while others required a manual command to ResumeFlow. In extreme cases where many child cases were waiting, a node crash could occur. This was traced to the pzGetChildcases report having a maximum value of 500 lines, and has been resolved by increasing the maximum number of rows to retrieve to 9999 in the Data Access Tab of the pzGetChildCases report definition. In addition, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified to perform with a higher number of cases, and DSS(MaxRecords) logic has been added to split the child cases into multiple queue items for each access group to decrease load on each thread process.

Audit message displays correct parameter value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The Audit message showed "{1}" instead of displaying the parameter value dynamically. This was traced to the pyInstructions field value which contained the message "Please approve or reject this {1}", and has been resolved by updating the pzInstructionsForApproval rule so the correct value is displayed.
