Resolved putting JMS Message through JMS Listener interface
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using MS Listener integrated into Pega running on WebSphere Liberty, the listener was running correctly and able to consume JMS Messages. The JMS Listener ruleform provided options to browse and put JMS messages. However, when attempting to put a message into the destination queue, an error occurred. Investigation showed that if the resource lookup was using 'Resource references' on JMS Listener, the naming context was initialized with a null hashtable. This has been corrected by modifying AddJMSMessage and GenericViewJMSMessage to initialize the naming context with the default constructor RefreshJMSMessages to set JNDIServerName and pass the current parameter page when calling GenericViewJMSMessage.

Class Loader cache values wrapped with WeakReference for improved cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Out Of Memory exceptions due to Metaspace were observed on Web tier instances running with a max Metaspace size of 2GB. Investigation showed that in PRClassLoaderDB, mLoaderCache values were wrapped with a SoftReference. To resolve this, the Class Loader cache values will be wrapped with a WeakReference, allowing the cache to free memory when it is no longer needed. JVM options has also been added to switch types of References being used if there is a preference.

QP exception handling improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
There is currently a configurable maximum size limit for QP items of 5MB. If the message size exceeded 5 MB, the message failed to be enqueued to Kafka, but still ended up in the delayed message table where it remained. This caused issues with pzDelayedQueueProcessorSchedule JS as a result. To resolve this, the system has been updated to better detect Kafka errors related with message size and move any corrupted item to the broken message queue with the appropriate message attached.

Alerting features added for Listeners
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
An enhancement has been added for Email Listener alerts. At the end of each listener's processing cycle, the system will determine the average processing time per message, the total processing time of the listener, the total unread messages count, and total number of messages processed. In each AESRemote agent run, this data will be published to the PDC, where it will be analyzed and any necessary alerts raised.

Performance improvements for save-as
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Performance issues were seen when using save-as for rules such as Declare expression, When rules, activity, etc. This was traced to a very large number of extra database queries that were being executed while building the Declarative Cache. To resolve this, an update has been made so the queries used for the Declarative Cache will only be executed when required.

Removed duplicate alert events
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
Duplicate applications were seen in the PDC Event Viewer, e.g. ‘Adviser 01.01’ and ‘Adviser:01.01' - one without a colon and one with a colon. Investigation showed that alert events logged via AsyncServices were being logged as "ApplicationName Version" instead of "ApplicationName:Version", and this has been resolved by updating AsyncServiceBatchTask.java to use the expected application name while logging alert events.

REST authentication settings use fully qualified name for resolution
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The application setting used in REST connectors for authentication was resolving to similarly-named rules instead of matching the exact name of the rule. This has been resolved by enhancing pzGetSettingID to use both parts of the fully qualified name (name and category) provided by the pzSettingsORA control when determining which setting from the report to return.

Null value handling added for CBU
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After update, changes made to the Operator record were not reflected and the Actions menu in Operator record did not show all available actions after the Operator was saved. This has been resolved by adding handling for null values passed as String for arguments from cbu.xml for the PegaCBU utility.
