Support added for email addresses with hyphen in domain name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When attempting to enter a email with a hyphen '-' in the domain part of an email ID ([email protected]), the reply button was getting disabled. This was caused by the regex validation implemented in the "pzValidateEmailAddress" (Work-Channel-Triage-Email) standard activity not covering all the possible cases. To resolve this, regex has been changed to instead use a platform-provided rule to ValidateEmailAddress.

Enhancement added for node heartbeat recovery process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nodes were not showing up in the admin portal even though they were up and running and could be seen in the pr_sys_statusnodes table. The exception "An exception was encountered while invoking the cluster membership listener callback" was seen. All nodes became visible again after multiple restarts. The root cause was traced back to a temporary database connectivity problem. The database itself was fine according to database monitoring reports, but a network problem, a slow database query, or another issue prevented Pega from establishing a connection for more than a minute. An enhancement has been made to resolve this: if a node becomes unhealthy due to the service registry missing due to a failed heartbeat, the heartbeat will try to recover after 60 seconds and keep trying every 30 seconds until it succeeds.

Resolved Cassandra query read/write latency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Read/write latency was seen when certain Cassandra queries were triggered by the system. This was traced to an unusual case where a flush was not done for an exceptionally long time period, and has been resolved.

Correct Email Bot training text highlighted
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When a piece of text was selected and tagged against an entity while training the Email Bot, the entity selection was misplaced and partially covered the actual text selected. The incorrect selection was then carried forward to the training data spreadsheet. To resolve this, rule changes have been made that will update HTML entities to HTML encoded forms.

Removed redundant Microsoft Outlook email interaction chain
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When opening an email interaction case, the email editor user interface area showed the complete email chain of the email for every new message that came in related to the case. This was traced to the difference in the selectors that various email clients use to construct a response to an email with email history in it, and has been resolved by updating the selectors for Microsoft Outlook in pyRichTextEmailHistorySelector so no conversation is repeated when using that client.

Topic handling updated for behavior tab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
While submitting topics configured on the behavior tab of the chat channel, duplicate records were created and a null pointer exception was generated. Investigation showed this was due to a difference in Topic handling between the email channel and the chat channel in a modal window, and has been resolved.

Added handling for DSM Services stuck in leaving status after database outage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
During a database outage, the heartbeat would fail and DSM services would eventually try to enter safe mode and stop. As the first step they would try to change the state to LEAVING, but because the database was down saving the LEAVING state failed and the exception was not handled correctly. This resulted in the rest of the stop operation logic not being executed and the service being stuck in LEAVING. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure the service goes to LEAVING_FAILED if anything fails during the stop operation including when setting state to LEAVING_FAILED. The state LEAVING_FAILED will get flushed to the database eventually when it comes back up. This will allow the aggregation service to start from the LEAVING_FAILED state and recover by itself after a database outage.

Interaction History properly saved when running strategy on a different data flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Customized Interaction History properties that had been added to pyInteractionHistoryConfiguration and pyDefaultWorkingSet and saved into the PR_DATA_IH_FACT table were not being saved properly after upgrading from 7.3 to 8.3. This was a missed use case and has been resolved.
