Resolved error during save of a Predictive Model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to save a predictive model in Prediction Studio resulted in the error ".pyModelProcess.pyShapes(Setmodelcontrolgroup).pyMOName: Cannot generate the component ID from the provided input. Enter at least one alphabetic character." This was traced to previous work done around defining a control group using a property reference, and has been resolved.

Predictive model snapshot generation updated for Java 11
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
While the Simulation data export case type was executed as expected, the predictive stages showed zero records processed. This was traced to instances running on Java 11 which caused an issue with the snapshot process. This did not affect learning, but visualization and reporting were not working in Prediction studio. To resolve this, an update has been made to the snapshotID for Java 11 compatibility which will generate a random UUID instead of using a seed.

Performance improvements for action check-in
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The process of 'Saving As' an action to a higher ruleset, Saving, and then running Check-in was taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to redundant page copy activities and performance has been improved by updating the implementation.

Updated entity attachment extraction tokenizers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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.

Actuals sync clears data from cache and persistence
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When sync attempted to clear the existing data from Actuals before copying data from the interaction history, the partition was cleared from the cache but not from persistence. IH data that was then copied to the same partition time ranges had new field descriptors created that did not match the format of the old data in persistence. As a result, when a query triggered the loading of such a partition, the mix of data with the old and new formats caused the load to fail. This has been resolved by updating the system to ensure the data is deleted properly from both the cache and persistence.

Proposition filter populated for test business Issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When running the proposition filter rule, no drop down list appeared for a business issue. This was caused by the Issue list not being populated for the Action-Run test page, and has been resolved.

DSS added to configure usage of Topup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
During NBAD-generated strategy execution, each interaction history summary is queried twice to check data relevancy. This update adds configuration options to disable topup in aggregate datasets. Topup can be disabled with the following configuration items: Set prconfig "ih/aggregates/last_customer_update_method" to NONESet DSS "cep/aggregates_dataset/partition_proc_cache_time" to -1

DSS added for configurable asynchronous writes into DDS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
An enhancement has been added which will allow DDS writes happening within pxDelayedLearningFlow to happen asynchronously and be configurable per node in order to improve performance. name: dnode/save_dds_async_processing_enabled description: Enable asynchronous processing of records in DDS Dataset save operation. Failures to store individual records will not interrupt operation execution.
