Null check added for pzinskey in CSLoadSelectedArticle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
In step 5 of CSLoadSelectedArticle, there is a call to pzGetAssociatedTags. Step 1 of pzGetAssociatedTags is an Obj-Browse with MaxRecords set to 100000000, and there is logic to retrieve records where pxLinkedRefFrom = Primary.pzInsKey. If Primary.pzInsKey is null, then the Obj-Browse will fetch all of the records. In order to prevent an unnecessary flood of results, a when condition has been added in the CSLoadSelectedArticle rule to check pzInskey so that when the context is empty the system will not call the pzGetAssociatedTags and return the entire record set.

Multiple Pulse attachments deleted correctly from datapage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
If a Pulse post had only one attachment, removing the post using the Delete option correctly deleted the attachment from Link-attachment and Data-WorkAttach-File. However, if more than one attachment was present, the attachments were removed from view in the UI but were not deleted as expected from the datapage D_AttachmentList. This caused the pr_data_file table to grow very large. Investigation traced the issue to a 'when' condition in the PegaSocial-Message-ValidateDelete activity that was incorrectly being set to true due to a null value and causing the system to skip the deletefile step. This has been resolved by updating the logic to correctly handle removing multiple attachments on delete of a post.

Unescaping characters implemented for expressions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6, Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4, Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3, Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
An issue where expression builder statements were evaluated differently at runtime than at testing has been resolved. Pega Platform expressions with String literals(that is, sequences of characters enclosed in quotation marks) now unescape characters in strategy shapes such as Set Property or Filter.

Tokenizer updated to handle commas
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The Text Analyzer was not working as expected in cases where the number was combined with a comma (,) with it but was working when a space was used between the number and the comma. This was traced to the tokenizer not correctly processing and splitting the input text when there was a special character before or after the token. This has been resolved by updating the tokenizer logic.

Hazelcast remote execution not called from synchronized context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After navigating to the Admin Studio portal to view the nodes, the portal was temporarily freezing. Investigation of the thread dump revealed this was caused by a DDS pulse sending a remote execution call to all nodes to update logger settings even though the site was not using DDS. This has been resolved by updating the system to avoid calling Hazelcast remote execution from a synchronized context.

Duplicate key exception resolved for adaptive model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
During the model snapshot update, a DuplicateKeyException was generated while trying to insert a record in to the predictor table. This did not affect the model's learning, but did appear ion the model monitoring report. This was traced to a local scenario of having the same outcome values defined on the model with different cases (Accept and accept). All predictors used in an Adaptive model are inserted into the model monitoring tables as a part of the monitoring job: because the monitoring tables are not case sensitive, this lead to a unique constraint exception since there were multiple IH predictors with the same name. To resolve this, validation has been added which will skip adding duplicates from new responses.

Corrected merged rule checkout error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
A decision data rule that was created or updated in a branch and then merged to a ruleset version was failing a subsequent checkout from the same merged ruleset version. This was traced to recent work done to address an Indexoutofbound exception in pyEditElement related to java compilation exceeding the 65 000 byte limit, and has been resolved by updating the pzGetCircumstanceValue activity to exclude ruleset version from the circumstance value generated for pyEditElement section. The following activities in the Rule-Decision-DecisionParameters class have also been updated to replace the Obj-Open method with Obj-Open-By-Handle so that correct version of pyEditElement is referred - pzDeleteExistingLayout, OnBeforeDisplay and pzCheckIfRuleSyncWithLayout.

DateTime validation works correctly after importing invalid data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After creating DecisionData (Dev studio) and adding a DateTime property to the form, importing records with invalid DateTime values failed with a validation error on the screen and the message "Error while converting format for data type DateTime property name Test_date_format with value scvf" was logged. Attempting to proceed by correcting the DateTime property and uploading worked, but any subsequent imports in the same session silently allowed invalid inputs to be passed without any validation errors and then showed blank date fields. This has been corrected.

VBD data flow timeout increased and made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Intermittent VBD timeouts were seen when writing records to MSK even though no errors were reported on the MSK side. Analysis showed that while batch data flows retry when a timeout occurs, real time data flows do not retry and the configuration to wait up to 10 seconds for an acknowledgement may not be sufficient depending on the system conditions. This has been resolved by increasing the default timeout to 20 seconds and adding a configurable timeout "vbd/streamPublishTimeoutMillis" to allow a customized setting.
