Handling added updates involving Oracle descending column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
The build was failing when attempting to update to Pega 8.6, and an error indicating an issue with Oracle columns was generated. Investigation showed that when a column changed that belonged to an index which had a 'desc' column (even if the changed column was not specified as desc), an Oracle restriction was triggered. This occurred with any column size increase if the column participated in an index containing a descending column or a function index. This has been resolved by adding a step to drop the index before altering the column if a Descending index is involved, and to catch the case where the resized index is part of an index that has a descending column but is not necessarily a descending column itself.

Data page definition reload made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
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.

ClusterAndDBCleaner updated to with with Oracle query limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
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.

Fallback added for missing fileName in MultipartHTTPResponse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Given a multipart/form-data response with multiple attachments, when there was no explicit fileName header provided for a body part, the engine skipped processing the part and no data was present on pyRequestAttachmentPage. This has been resolved by adding a fallback in HTTPClientUtils#handleMultipartHTTPResponse() so that if no fileName is present, the 'name' parameter of the Content-Disposition header field will be used.

Stability enhancement to improve platform reliability and resiliency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
During a NBA campaign run, the data flow partition became stuck in the in-progress status and the campaign run did not complete. NoClassDefFoundException errors were logged, indicating a connectivity issue with the database after which the node was not able to recover successfully. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement to better handle situations where a database outage is detected.

Obj-Browse will retrieve more than 50 records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After performing multiple skims, a newly added property was not retrieved when an Obj-Browse was performed. In Obj-Browse action, when a class is mapped to an external table and does not contain BLOB column pzpvstream, in a specific case where pxObjClass value is a reference to a parameter, a list of properties mapped to the class explicitly by querying pr4_rule_property table using NativeSQL is fetched. This call by default returns only 50 records: in cases where there are more than 50 properties for an external class, some of the properties from the obj-browse response mapping are therefore missed. To resolve this, the limit of 50 records has been removed from this NativeSQL call.

Added support for imported rules to populate bixreportpage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Extract rules were not holding the filter criteria after upgrade while performing save-as (for the first time) of the imported rules from the previous version. Criteria were held when the filters were created in the new version. This was caused by BIX extracts created in earlier releases (7.x) not having bixreportpage included. When an environment was upgraded to 8.x versions, opening an extract required the bixreportpage to be populated with RD metadata including the filters defined in the actual extract. Although the filters from the original extract were converted to filters that are acceptable by ReportDefinition, they were not being added to bixreportpage on opening the extract. To resolve this, the system has been updated to copy the filters back to bixreportpage on opening the extract in the upgraded environment.

Logging updated for EmailListener and Data-Agent queue items
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
In order to avoid the pr_sys_queue_ftsindexer table being overwhelmed with Data-Admin-Connect-EmailListener and Data-Agent-Queue instances for queued items, the Data-Admin-Connect-EmailListener and Data-Agent-Queue class definitions have been modified to filter queue items to incremental indexing if updates are from system and instance type is data- .
