Refinements made to MarkerNode memory use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Significant memory usage can be observed when data join in strategies are missing the join conditions. E.g., when the primary source in the strategy can have up to 300 or even more propositions, the join without the join condition would perform a cartesian product with possibly up to 400 or even more records returned. This may cause performance degradation. To guard against this, an update has been made that seeks to prevent repetitive markers being accumulated under a MarkerNode while trying not to rely on any implementation of equality and hashCode for individual marker implementations.

Unneeded MBean startup warning removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrade, Catalina logs indicated the error "WARN com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.prpc.service.monitoring.MBeanDSMService - Service DataFlow doesn't implement Monitoring operation". This was due to a flaw in the way the data flow DSM service was initialized in client mode. The exception itself was not a problem and did not impact functionality, but the client initialization has been modified to remove the warning.

Declaratives disabled during startup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Declaratives firing before the engine is fully up can lead to null pointer errors. In order to avoid this condition, declaratives will be disabled during startup so that unnecessary operations can be avoided and system can be started faster.

Updated ConfirmHarness handling for case type creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
If a new case type was created with the initialization stage and there were no assignments in the case type, the /cases API did not return a NextPageID in response. This has been resolved by setting the pyConfirmHarness parameter before calling addworkobject.

Correct flow actions loaded in multi-thread portal refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The member authentication screen was displaying an incorrect flow action on doing browser refresh after creating a new interaction. Refresh is a special case where the parameter retention is different across single-threaded & multi-threaded portals alongside the execution order of activities. In this case, this inconsistency occurred in a multi-threaded portal when newAssignPage had the information to load the proper assignment but the parameter indicated an old index. This has been resolved by adding 'when' conditions to to populate and pass the correct references and labels and to honor the Param.TaskIndex set and sent by UI activities so it's retained in case of multi-thread portals.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When implementing a section which had several labels with visible when conditions, this is not reflected in the DX API Get Assignment View. This has been resolved by adding a visible element.

HTML tags escaped in Audit History field values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The case narrative section was showing case statuses with encoded special characters such as % or ( ), resulting in entries such as "Status changed to Complete &# 40;approved& #41; !@#$ %^& amp;*&# 40;&# 41;_&# 43;.". This has been resolved by updating the PyMemo field from type Text Input to DisplayAsLiteral for case narrative, which matches the setting for case history.

Wait action persists when using Urgency Adjustment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When using the Urgency Adjustment (pyAdjustAssignmentsla standard local action), once a case reached the wait action and the goal and deadline were updated the previous pyWaitAction was not being stored. This has been resolved by ensuring the previous pyWaitAction will be stored and passed to the AddAssign activity.

DateTime format check added for REST response
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
While retrieving case details using the standard GetCases API, a datetime field defined on a work object was returned in JSON date format i.e. "QuoteExpiryDate": "2021-06-09T14:00:00.000Z". However when the same field was mapped to a flow action's section, the value was retrieved by the GetAssignmentAction API which returned the value in Pega's date format, "value": "20210609T140000.000 GMT". This was traced to a missed datetime format check in the REST response, and has been resolved by using the Rule-Utility-Function pzAPICreateJsonForField to handle the conversion of the time stamp to JSON format.
