Explicit connectivity close added to Queue Manager error handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Performing a connectivity test on the MQ Connector page with an invalid queue name aborts the test connectivity but the MQ connection was not closing. This can become an issue when using IBM MQaaS (MQ as a service) where only a limited number of connections are allowed. This has been resolved by adding an explicit Queue Manager close in the error handling block.

ClusterAndDBCleaner updated to with with Oracle query limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The pzClusterAndDBCleaner job scheduler was not able to cleanup data in pr_op_data session table due to the delete query formed to clean up this table throwing "ora-01795 maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000 oracle 19c" exception. This has been resolved by splitting requestor IDs into batches of 1000.

Cleanup added for disabled/deleted operator passivation data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
In some scenarios, a passivated session for a non-active operator was able to be resumed after cluster restart. This has been resolved by adding a check for disabled or deleted operators which will then delete any lingering passivated data.

Data page definition reload made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The data page was intermittently being removed from the cache. This was traced to the use of a thread from ThreadContainer to reload the data page definition: a null thread could be returned if the request came from a master agent, which would then cause the definition reload to fail. This has been resolved by updating the system to use the current thread in context to reload the data page definition.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The support article "Configuring a report definition to run against an Elasticsearch index" has been updated to clarify that the search can pass multiple values with a space in pySearchString as it does OR operation on all the fields, and that filters in the report definition will be used when executing the report directly or when calling the report in the pxRetrieveSearchData activity. https://docs.pega.com/system-administration/85/configuring-report-definition-run-against-elasticsearch-index
