Documentation updated for troubleshooting inline images for email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Inline images were not showing by default when sending emails. To assist in this, the troubleshooting information for email has been updated with the following information: Correct configuration for display of inline images via Email bot is one that is shipped standard. To support Rich text in email display via Email bots, Email body must be stored 'As HTML attachment' (the setting on auto generated Service Email rule). In addition, no other setting on listener must be changed especially 'Embed inline images'(should remain unchecked) on Email listener rule. Combination of these 2 settings causes Email bot to save - 1. Email body as attachment 2. All inline images as attachment At runtime UI display, these 2 are recombined to display proper email. This is done in order to increase performance because images are lazily loaded.

PostgreSQL information updated in Platform Support Guide
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
The Platform Support Guide has been updated to reflect the following:Postgresql-42.2.14.jar supports PostgreSQL 8.2 or newer, and requires Java 6 or newer (Pega only supports Java 8 and 11); this driver also contains support for SSL and the javax.sql package. Prior versions of this .jar file have known problems.

Documentation updated for accents and special characters used in search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The "Pega search API" article has been updated to reflect that the search functionality in Pega Platform does not match accented words with unaccented. For example, searching for santé and sante will retrieve different results. In addition, Domain Specific Language (DSL) includes special characters for use when searching, for example '-', '_', '!', '@'. However, the system retrieves various results depending on the way the special characters are used in the search query. If the query contains special characters that are not escaped, the system may retrieve incorrect results. For example, not escaping the slash mark in the 25/02 query may cause the system to ignore the special character.

Restore point handling updated for absent pzpvstream column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
While executing the “get restore point” action for rollback, a PZPVSTREAMerror error occurred with the message "(util.HistoryCollectorDataModel) WARN|Rest|SystemManagement|v2|restorepoint - History collection for the table will be slow because it does not have all of the required columns". This was a missed use case for Robotics Automation not having a pzpvstream column for one of the tables; this has been corrected with a check to validate for pzpvstream column so the system will not seek history records if the pzpvstream column is not present.

Check added to disable offset support for older versions of Oracle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
An ORA-00933 error was generated after upgrading from Pega 7.1 to Pega 8.5. This was traced to a conflict between Oracle 11g and the Pega 8.5 platform related to an OFFSET statement being added to a query for a version of Oracle that doesn't support it. The preferred solution is to upgrade Oracle to address this, but in order to support backwards compatibility a check has been added which will disable offset support in Oracle if productversion <=11.

Database Transaction Log update overflow resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When automatic.resume=false was encountered uring an update, cleaning up the existing codeset from previous updates ended up filling up the database transaction logs and caused the update to fail. This has been resolved by updating the process of clearing the codeset so it doesn't overflow the transaction log.

Ruleset Restoration Utility repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to use the standard Ruleset Restoration utility after update was resulting in a "Status:fail Operator:Unauthenticated or not available Node:No ID available" error message. This was a missed use case for the refactoring done around importing rules, and was caused by the utility calling the deprecated Importable.isValidImport() method. This has been resolved by updating the import activity to restore its functionality.

Performance improvements for revalidate and save
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
In order to improve performance when working with very large numbers of class definitions, an update has been made to optimize the revalidate and save process by avoiding looking up all classes on the system instead using ClassDefinition for existence and checking ancestor data to ensure class is a Rule- or Data- descendant.

Handling added for missing expose.accessGroup property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After exposing an existing page group and page list properties along with single value properties using a declare index, running the Column Populator tool prpcServiceUtils to populate the historical data resulted in the single value properties being updated in the exposed column properly, but the page group and page list properties were not updated in the declare index table. On new case creation the declare index tables were updated. This was traced to the default expose.accessGroup not being set for the user, and has been resolved by adding a check and handling that will add the missing property in prpcserviceutils.properties defining the access group for the Rule-Declare-Index of the classes being exposed if it is not present.
