Rest connector passes RequestAttachmentPage to child requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
While invoking the Rest Connect from a data page, the error "InboundMappingException: Exception occurred while mapping incoming response" was generated. Requests with "Content-type:multipart/form-data" require "pyRequestAttachmentPage" or "pyResponseAttachmentPage" to be populated with correct values. When Rest-Connector was executed in parallel, those pages were not copied to the child requestor and the rest call executed from the child requestor did not have correct header and body. To resolve this, MethodConnect.java has been updated to correctly pass pyRequestAttachmentPage to the child requestor.

BigDecimal handling updated for @sum function
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The @sum function was not behaving correctly. This was traced to the java code in the 'sum--(ClipboardPropertyCollection)' function which was not properly converting the double to Bigdecimal for some of the inputs like 500, 500, 600.11. This has been resolved by modifying the function to convert input properties to BigDecimal, add BigDecimal values, and return the result.

ReportStats delete query performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
A database connection spike was maxing out the allowed database connections, causing login delays and termination of stream nodes. Investigation traced this to the delete query on pr_log_reportstats, which was a full table scan generated from SQLGeneratorPostgres.purgeTableContainingClass. To improve performance, the full table scan sub-query has been removed and 'limit' syntax has been added to run the necessary deletion in batches.

Security update enhanced to support custom implementations of InvokeAxis2
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The QueueProcessor activity indirectly invokes a Connect-SOAP. After installing the Security A22 patch, custom implementations on InvokeAxis2 reported runtime failure. This has been resolved by replacing reflection library use with explicit type checking and casting to get the array length in step 14 of InvokeAxis2.

InvokeHTTPConnector security updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
"Allow invocation from browser" has been disabled for InvokeHTTPConnector, and "Require authentication to run" has been enabled. In addition, an unsafe reflection used to load JCIFS libraries for NTLM operations has been removed, which removes support for custom JCIFS libraries in Connect HTTP.

Added explicit clearing for AsyncServiceManager cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Heap size for multiple JVMs increased after update. Investigation showed data pages loaded via Load-DataPage during service processing using requestor pools were cleared after each service interaction but the AsyncServiceManager cache was not cleared. To resolve this, an update has been made that will clear the async cache when the requestor is returned and when flush all is called.

GET API will skip case locking
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After update, performing a GET call on an assignment was unexpectedly locking the case. This was traced to a difference in handling: Pega 8.3 performed an Obj-Open-By-Handle of the workobject without acquiring a lock, while Pega 8.6 calls Assign-.acquireWorkObject which acquires a lock on the work object thereby affecting the other requestors from accessing the case. An initial fix for this issue enabled optimistic locking, however this did not resolve the issue in scenarios where there were concurrent calls and optimistic locking was not used. This additional update will skip locks on the work object for V1 GET assignments/{id}, GET assignments/{assignmentId}/actions/{actionId} and GET cases/{caseId}/actions/{actionId} and corresponding action refresh APIs.
