Filter added to ensure correct context for proposition strategy rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
Given two applications (ex App1 and App2) hosted on the same domain where App2 was built on App1, trying to create a strategy rule in App1 and do a test run strategy using the propositional data component which internally uses App2 propositions generated the error: Failed to find a 'RULE-DECISION-DECISIONPARAMETERS' with the name 'GROUP_2'. There were 1 rules with this name in the rulebase, but none matched this request." Investigation showed the strategy was using the PropositionNoCacheUtils and PropositionTools java classes to load the propositions during run time. In these classes, the group classes were browsed from the db irrespective of the application context, causing the strategy run to fail as it was not able to access the decision data rules in other applications which shared the same SR class as the current application. To resolve this, a filter has been added to the PropositionNoCacheUtils and PropositionTools java classes to filter out the groups that are not in the current application context.

VBD insert process updated for better retry handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When restarting Data Flow and VBD nodes, the VBD client can encounter some exceptions indicating components in the stack are temporarily unavailable. In most cases the VBD client retries, but there are some cases where it did not and data flow failures occurred. To resolve this, the code has been updated to remove logging of the VBD cluster status during a retry, and the retry duration has been made configurable.

Batching now enabled when using IH Summary shape in substrategies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
Batching was not being enabled when using IH Summary shape in substrategies. This was traced to the IH_SUMMARY_CACHE field not automatically being passed to sub-strategies, and has been corrected.

Corrected method IF use with shortcut function
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, method IF was not working as expected when used in an expression like "@if(.totalorders_120days>0,(.remakeorders_120days/.totalorders_120days)<0.3,false)". This was caused by a missed use case for the combination of an exception-generating function in combination with a shortcut function (i.e. ternary, and, or), and has been resolved.

Corrected issue with strategy framework testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
Issues were seen in creating a dataflow to test the strategy framework shipped with the Pega Marketing product. It was not possible to use a data transform to test this strategy because it is in the shipped PegaMKTEngine ruleset. Investigation showed the value of appliedToClass was retrieved from "pyRunOnDataFlowClassName" instead of from the running strategy, and this has been resolved.

Repository document deletion modified for better cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When using documents functionality, creating and uploading a document properly stored it, but deleting the document did not remove the associated files from storage. Whenever a document is created that has a file, instances Of Link-Attachment and Data-WorkAttach-File are also created. Previously, when the document was deleted, the associated instances and actual file were not deleted from the repositories but rather marked as Resolved-Withdrawn and hidden at the UI level. The system has now been updated so that when a document is deleted, the document attachment will also be deleted from all places like list, Tile, and document View, and reference instances like Link-Attachment and Data-WorkAttach-File instance will also be removed along with the actual file from the repository.

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.
