Fixed flow line distortion in Process Modeler
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When clicking through to a subprocess from a parent flow (by clicking the + sign in the blue subprocess shape), flow lines in the subprocess were shown in a distorted fashion. When opening the same flow in a separate tab (by right clicking the blue subprocess shape and selecting Open Flow) the flow lines were correctly painted. This was an issue caused by the different renderings of the flow depending on whether there was a click through to it (with the + on the parent flow?s subprocess shape), or the subflow was opened in a separate tab (with open Flow). After the Process Modeler saved and checked-in the flow, the connector lines were re-drawn in ways that were non-intuitive and hard to interpret due to the edge routing in PM being calculated off incorrect input data that was taking into account shapes that were not represented on the screen. To fix this, the system now ensures the edges are routed without taking into account any shapes not represented on the canvas.

Fixed scrumboard intermittent failure
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
After upgrading, it was seen that the scrumboard would intermittently fail to load, partially displaying and then hanging if the columns did not fit within the window boundaries due to the number of elements. This was traced to an error in the functionality that resizes parts of the scrumboard, and has been fixed.

Added handling for DSM Services stuck in leaving status after database outage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
During a database outage, the heartbeat would fail and DSM services would eventually try to enter safe mode and stop. As the first step they would try to change the state to LEAVING, but because the database was down saving the LEAVING state failed and the exception was not handled correctly. This resulted in the rest of the stop operation logic not being executed and the service being stuck in LEAVING. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure the service goes to LEAVING_FAILED if anything fails during the stop operation including when setting state to LEAVING_FAILED. The state LEAVING_FAILED will get flushed to the database eventually when it comes back up. This will allow the aggregation service to start from the LEAVING_FAILED state and recover by itself after a database outage.

Interaction History properly saved when running strategy on a different data flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Customized Interaction History properties that had been added to pyInteractionHistoryConfiguration and pyDefaultWorkingSet and saved into the PR_DATA_IH_FACT table were not being saved properly after upgrading from 7.3 to 8.3. This was a missed use case and has been resolved.

Write lock check added to avoid thread contention
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After updating the Pega platform and NBA Designer, a significant drop in performance for multilevel strategies was observed. Investigation showed that invoking a sub strategy containing external input intermittently caused a thread contention issue related to write lock. This was traced to overzealous write locking of a component where only a read lock for the thread was required, and has been resolved by adding a verification check to determine whether a write lock is necessary for a given operation before acquiring it.

Localization added to DelegateDescription
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Localization was not working correctly for the description of a delegated rule due to pyDelegeteDescription being defined with a non-localized Property value. This has been resolved by localizing the property value for pyDelegeteDescription.

Performance improvements for action check-in
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
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.
