Exception stack trace will be included as comments in generated assembly code
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When there is an exception during assembly time, that original exception message is assembled in the generated code. To improve the process of finding the the root cause by examining the original exception stack, the system has been updated to insert the original exception stack trace into the generated code as comments.

OrgChartWorkGroup update issue resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
The instances of Index-PegaFS-Data-OrgChartWorkGroup table were corrupted after adding a new department via the landing page. This was traced to the missed scenario of a Page-Copy with declare index present in it, and has been resolved.

Null check added to resolve addmapcasetomap error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Using a createcase flow shape to create child cases by looping on a page list on the parent case resulted in pzaddmapcasetomap throwing an exception related to the activity pzLoadCaseHierarchyWrapper in step 5. This was traced to a page being removed after the list of pages was received in findPageByHandle, and has been resolved by adding a null check.

AttachmentContent supports S3 storage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Using a D_AttachmentContent data page to display the contents of an attachment by way of the pyGetAttachmentContent activity worked when using the Pega database for storage, but generated an error stating CMIS access was disabled after switching to S3 storage. This was traced to restrictions on Link-Attachment pages in Step 2, Line 64 of pyGetAttachmentContent to enable attachment stream retrieval from web storage and repositories by D_AttachmentContent, which has now been removed. In addition, pyGetAttachmentContent has been updated to behave the same whether a Link-Attachment page or Data-WorkAttach page is provided when populateAttachStream is set to false, and the rule documentation (description/usage) has been updated accordingly.

Logic trimmed for better Listener performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
After multiple email listeners with Data indexing were enabled, the FTSIndexer queue was filling with Email Listener instances. Investigation showed that although Listener Management has logic for updating the last access time of all listeners by using APIs, the Email Listener was explicitly opening the email listener rule to update the last access time every time it was run. This has been corrected.

Check added for Repositories before saving attachment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When creating or updating a case through email listener, the Link-Attachment defaulted the pxStorageType to 'WebStorage'. This caused an issue when using PegaS3, which needs pxStorageType 'Repository'. To resolve this, a check has been added to see if Repositories are enabled, and if they are the storageType will be set accordingly.

Force order added to inner join when running a Rules Resolution filter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, D_getResolvedWorkStatuses was not loading properly due to a Report Definition that used a Filter by Rule Resolution option timing out on the SQL Server. When the Filter by Rule Resolution option is selected in RD, it will generate a rule resolution query with an inner join which can cause a time out on the SQL Server while it tries to find out the join order for tables with multiple joins. To resolve this, the SQL server will provide a Force order, merge inner join hint option by way of an added DSS reporting/useForceOrderHint. Additionally, reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery should be set on Pega-Reporting to set things up for using the Merge Inner join hint in the query.

Resolved command line BIX/PRPCUtils creating unreachable nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
BIX and PRPCUtils scripts were creating nodes that showed as unreachable or that were never cleared. This was traced to a code change that resulted in nodes starting as stream nodes unless given a node type or DSS settings, and has been resolved by setting the asyncExecutor/enable setting value as false in the prconfig.xml. The BIX command line JVM argument should also be set to NodeType=BIX.

Reinitializing Full Text Search will shut down Elastic Search regardless of search initialization status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
Pega search was only sporadically working after converting from standard sandbox-marketing to largesandbox-marketing. This was traced to the Full-Text Search initialization having failed on the app-tier node during re-initialization. As part of re-initialization, the existing node is shut down and the Elastic Search node is started. The shutdown process relied on a boolean flag which indicated if the current status of full-text search initialization was successful. In this case, ES was trying to validate all the cluster level settings, for every save of one of the cluster level settings, but could not due to topology changes in the Util Tier node. The boolean flag indicated initialization had failed so the shutdown process was not invoked, yet the system was attempting to start the second instance of an ES node on the same machine. To resolve this, the shutdown FTS code has been modified to shutdown ES regardless of the search initialization status.
