Removed services check and added warnings for simulations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Attempting to run an audience simulation resulted in the error "Running simulations is not possible, because the required services are not available. Contact your system administrator to enable the data flow and real-time data grid services". Investigation showed the @DsmServices.pxHasFunctionalNodes("DataFlow","Batch") function call contained in the 'when' rule pyUnavailableDecisionServices was returning false even if all the nodes were in the cluster and all the DSM Services were in NORMAL status. To resolve this, the services check has been disabled and the simulation run will show a warning or fail if a data flow run is queued for more than 30 secs or if there is an issue with querying the underlying metrics storage.

RealTimeProcessingDelay made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using interaction history summaries in Engagement Policy strategies, the check whether a particular action was sent previously was not returning any results for the customers that did have an action "Sent". These records were present in the IH Fact table but the IH Summary tables were missing these records. This has been resolved by making the realTimeProcessingDelay configurable for reading from IH in a real-time flow configurable (done as part of IH pre-aggregation). This may be useful if there can be a difference in time between machines inserting into IH which causes pre-aggregation to miss processing records. The relevant DSS is "interactionHistory/realTimeProcessingDelay", and the default is 5 seconds. This must be set before starting pre-aggregation. This is the difference between the end position and the log time. RuleSet: Pega-DecisionEngine DSS Name: interactionHistory/realTimeProcessingDelay Value: <new delay in seconds>

Added handling for double quotes on Substrategy shapes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, there were compilation issues on calling substrategies from strategies using datapage.pxResults as another page. This was traced to the handling for a parameterized data page with double quotes on Substrategy shapes, and has been resolved.

GET API will consider case locking mechanism
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, performing a GET call on an assignment was unexpectedly locking the case. This was traced to a difference in handling: Pega 8.3 performed an Obj-Open-By-Handle of the workobject without acquiring a lock, while Pega 8.6 calls Assign-.acquireWorkObject which acquires a lock on the work object thereby affecting the other requestors from accessing the case. This has been resolved by enabling ConsiderLockingMode to independently determine the locking mechanism set for the case type.

Removed redundant Microsoft Outlook email interaction chain
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.

Entity Detection prefers first detected entity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Entity detection shown in the "Training data" tab of the email channel did not match with the results of running the corresponding text analyzer rule. This occurred when a single piece of text was detected as multiple entity values, which led to the last entity detected being picked for case mapping because of the unclear scenario of duplicate entities. To resolve this, pxmapresponseentities has been updated to prefer the first detected entity.

Page data preserved for WebChat timeouts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to change the font size in Webchatbot after the interaction time-out resulted in a DisplayError screen. This was traced to the page data not being available, and has been resolved by preserving workPage and newAssignPage for this use.

Corrected portal image display for authenticated request
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Email images for the user portal were not displayed in the browser but were showing correctly in the manager portal. The URL to the image was the same in both cases, however for the user portal the URL request was requiring authentication. This has been resolved by updating the API to use currentsessionURL.

More responsive attachment loading for interaction portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to view a large email attachment in the interaction portal was resulting in slow loading and page responsiveness issues. Investigation showed there were numerous unnecessary height calculations happening when checking the dom elements, and this has been resolved with an update which will use the property mapping js file to make the screen more responsive when highlighting.
