Updated entity attachment extraction tokenizers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After creating an entity extraction model, it was seen that one of the entities worked when there was a space after the semicolon but the detection was not working if there was no space. This has been resolved by updating the Tokenizers with extra examples to address tokenization when ":" is present between two words without any spaces.

Unused DSS compiledExpressions now defaults to false
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After updating from Pega 8.2 to Pega 8.5, executing a test campaign failed with an error in logs. This occurred when running Distribution tests with "Include funnel analysis reports" checked, and was traced to the DSS setting "decision/strategy/ssaVM/compiledExpressions". As this was previously used to toggle a feature which is no longer in use, the default setting for this DSS has now been changed to false to resolve this issue.

Strategy execution queries tuned
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
During Next Best Action strategy execution, interaction history summaries were queried multiple times for a single strategy execution. To improve this function, the isChanged query will now be executed once after system startup if there are no changes instead of being executed every time the Aggregates DataSet BBK is executed. If the same Aggregates query is made multiple times as part of a Strategy in a REST request (i.e. likely multiple ADM models in a MakeDecision call), only one Aggregates BBK call will be made.

Dataflow with report definition source repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After update, data flows using a report definition dataset as source were throwing a null pointer exception. This was traced to previous work done around retry handling for Oracle queries where there were issues identifying the correct column types; that previous work has been reverted to resolve this null pointer exception, and further work will be done to refine the solution to the Oracle CLOB DatabaseException.

Performance improvements for stale thread warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Stale thread warnings were causing performance issues during dataflow run execution. Stale thread/slow component warnings are added as part of the dataflow execution when a processing thread takes more than 5 minutes to process a single dataflow record. The stacktrace of the dataflow thread is added as part of the warning for debugging purposes, but in some scenarios the stacktrace can become very large. This has been resolved by removing the stacktraces from the warning, improving the query logic, and adding the run ID to the exception method to assist if there is an error.

Offline.Rulecache UI module capacity increased
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Clicking the save button on a modal window caused the application to freeze and all the buttons were disabled. This was traced to the pega.offline.rulecache UI module having a default hard limit of 500 rules. Once the hard limit was reached, the system intermittently silently refused caching additional rules depending on the amount of rules packaged or the order in which the rules are loaded to the cache. To resolve this, the system has been updated to only log a console warning once the maximum threshold is reached, allowing the application to operate normally and at the time inform about the potential impact of having too many rules in memory.

Signature Accept callback fires correctly in offline app
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Clicking on the Accept button in the Pega mobile signature control was not properly calling the necessary pega.ui.signature.acceptSignatureCallback method. This has been resolved by adding code for the Post Success and Failure callback on Signature accept in the offline app.

Handling added to process Actions chunks on multiple nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
If the synching of chunks to a node was interrupted, attempting to resume the remaining chunks resulted in a processing issue if the Load Balancer passed the connection to a different node than was used for the first connection. As an example, if chunks were synched to node "A" and the restarted sync saved the remaining chunks to node "B", when all chunks were synced node "B" incorrectly determined node "A" was actually doing the work and skipped the processing of the chunks on node "B". This resulted in queued chunks being left untouched. To resolve this, the logic has been updated to allow multiple nodes to process the chunks.

Updated RequestorInitialize to improve performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After updating, initial user logins were taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to the standard rule "RequestorInitialize", and has been resolved by updating the implementation.

Page group property passed correctly for complex questions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When the Pega Survey Smart shape was used to configure a list of complex set of questions using Question rules and invoked using the Survey shape, the reload system was not passing the subscript value for the Page group property pyQuestionnaire. This caused an Invalid Reference exception and displayed an error pop up for the end user. Investigation traced this to a call to RefreshList to load a section holding pyQuestionnaire(Subscript) page content which was in place as part of a legacy fix but which has since been made unnecessary due to infrastructure changes in the DOM utilities. To resolve this, the ComplexQuestionCheckboxTemplate and pzComplexQuestionCheckBoxTemplateRowDetails section rules have been updated to remove the RefreshList action on checkbox.
