DSS added to set Cassandra query page size limit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When a site with a large number of nodes captured responses to the commit log, it was possible for nodes run out of heap space and cause system instability. This was due to the Cassandra query not having a specified page size, so the cluster-wide default setting of 5000 created an issue for large sites which could have over 150 nodes capturing responses. This has been resolved by specifying the page size on the Cassandra query that used to read responses from the commit log. This value will be set dynamically with a DSS to not read more than n responses from all shards combined in a single batch.

Locking added to avoid Null pointer exception for auto-populate property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After configuring the auto populate property "OrgProduct" which referred to a data page, the system experiencing heavy load led to the property not getting properly initialized. This resulted in a WrongModeException and NullPointerException. To resolve this, the system has been updated to lock the requestor when Queue Processors execute their activity. This will prevent race conditions and concurrent modifications if other threads are accessing the same requestor.

REGEX In Expression Builder matches runtime values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
An expression builder statement was evaluating differently at runtime vs at testing. This was traced to a difference in escape character handling between old legacy code and the new strategy runtime engine, and has been resolved by ensuring the strategy runtime engine is supporting escape character use cases.

DataSet preview will use date instead of datetime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
While using a DataSet preview functionality, the date appeared as reduced by one day. This has been resolved by parsing date as 'date' instead of 'datetime' to avoid issues with timezone interactions.

Default context check added for saving adaptive model with locked rulesets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When updating an adaptive model rule in Prediction Studio, the error message "No unlocked Rulesets/Versions found that are valid for this record. Unlock at least one Ruleset/Version that can contain records of this type." appeared when clicking Save. This occurred when a branch was used in the default context of the Prediction Studio settings. Although there was a workaround to use Dev Studio to Save As the adaptive model rule to the required branch, this has been resolved by adding a check for default context and then saving the model there if it is mentioned.
