PropertyToColumnMap made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
The DF_ProcessEmails dataflow was intermittently failing with a StageException error. This was traced to schema changes being propagated asynchronously by system pulse, which seem to have caused PropertyToColumnMap to cache stale schema. To resolve this, if the property mapping is not found the first time, the system will make a second attempt to get the mapping. Additional logging has also been added for better diagnostics.

Behavior made consistent between SSA and legacy engines
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
There was a behavioral disparity between the legacy execution engine and the SSA engine where the latter was not creating a new page when the index was one above the size of the page list. This has now been corrected in order to make the SSA behavior fully backward compatible with the legacy engine, i.e. a new blank page will be added to the list if the index is one above the size of the list.

Handling improvements for commit logs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
The ADM commit log logs the number of unconsumed messages that are going to expire. In certain circumstances, it can include unconsumed messages that are not going to expire in the count. Because they are not expired and removed, the environment was running out of disk space due to the ADM commitlogs table growing larger than expected and performance issues were seen. To resolve this, a new adm_commitlog.adm_responses_commit_log_date_tiered table has been created, with a default_time_to_live of 24 hours. DateTieredCompactionStrategy has been set with max_window_size_seconds as 24hrs and tombstone_compaction_interval as 24hrs.

Performance improvements for Test Strategy data flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
In the Test Strategy panel under Single case -> "Settings", selecting the "Data flow" option and choosing CustomerData dataflow was taking an excessive amount of time to run on a system with an extremely large database. To improve performance, two areas have been addressed: 1) the default behavior for record key suggestions in the test panel has been modified to collect only the ID as the additional data is not necessary at that time; 2) a DSS has been added that will opt out of reading and collecting the customer IDs in order to minimize data stored on the clipboard.

Strategy handling updated for very large systems using IH summary
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When a Strategy in a Real-time dataflow used IH Summary on a system with more than 5000 groups for one eventKey, the message "Error retrieving aggregates from Cassandra KVS" intermittently appeared. Investigation showed that if the number of result rows was greater than the FETCH_SIZE (set to 5000), it meant another read to Cassandra was required and an exception was generated. To resolve this, updates have been made so that instead of returning maps, the system will return iterators and change them to map on the calling thread.

Correct Email Bot training text highlighted
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
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.

FocusSection timeout updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When being redirected from an email notification to a Pulse comment, the case opened but the Pulse post was not highlighted as expected. This was a purely cosmetic issue, and has been resolved.

Cases Created through email bots remain searchable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When a case was created through Email Bot, the delete attachment link in pzCreateTriageWork activity was triggering a delete event in incremental indexing that removed the main work object. This has been resolved by adding a condition check in the SearchIncrementalIndexNotifier class for the link page, and the work object will be updated instead of deleted.

Entity highlight corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
In the email channel, the entity value highlighted under "Training" tab was different from the actual value detected. The location where it was detected was also different. This was traced to an inconsistency of the title shown on the UI of training data tab, and has been resolved by updating the title shown on each entity as well as using exit iteration instead of skip step in pyStructureEntity.
