Refinements made to MarkerNode memory use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Significant memory usage can be observed when data join in strategies are missing the join conditions. E.g., when the primary source in the strategy can have up to 300 or even more propositions, the join without the join condition would perform a cartesian product with possibly up to 400 or even more records returned. This may cause performance degradation. To guard against this, an update has been made that seeks to prevent repetitive markers being accumulated under a MarkerNode while trying not to rely on any implementation of equality and hashCode for individual marker implementations.

Unneeded MBean startup warning removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrade, Catalina logs indicated the error "WARN com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.prpc.service.monitoring.MBeanDSMService - Service DataFlow doesn't implement Monitoring operation". This was due to a flaw in the way the data flow DSM service was initialized in client mode. The exception itself was not a problem and did not impact functionality, but the client initialization has been modified to remove the warning.

Flow connector attachment point control updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Previously, attempting to change the target point for a connector in the flow modeler to a different point on the same shape did not work without placing the point on an intermediate connector first. An enhancement has now been added to support moving the connector directly to a different constraint point on the same shape.

Modified batch requestor handling to ensure cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A large buildup of batch requestors was seen, and restarting the node did not clear it. Investigation showed that in the case of one class reading a DSS value, a Pega requestor was being created when it was unable to retrieve any Pega context, and this requestor was not cleaned up afterwards. To resolve this, an update has been made to the way the requestor and Pega context is being created along with ensuring it will be cleaned up properly after use.
