PropertyToColumnMap made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
The DF_ProcessEmails dataflow was intermittently failing with a StageException error. This was traced to schema changes being propagated asynchronously by system pulse, which seem to have caused PropertyToColumnMap to cache stale schema. To resolve this, if the property mapping is not found the first time, the system will make a second attempt to get the mapping. Additional logging has also been added for better diagnostics.

Behavior made consistent between SSA and legacy engines
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
There was a behavioral disparity between the legacy execution engine and the SSA engine where the latter was not creating a new page when the index was one above the size of the page list. This has now been corrected in order to make the SSA behavior fully backward compatible with the legacy engine, i.e. a new blank page will be added to the list if the index is one above the size of the list.

Handling improvements for commit logs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
The ADM commit log logs the number of unconsumed messages that are going to expire. In certain circumstances, it can include unconsumed messages that are not going to expire in the count. Because they are not expired and removed, the environment was running out of disk space due to the ADM commitlogs table growing larger than expected and performance issues were seen. To resolve this, a new adm_commitlog.adm_responses_commit_log_date_tiered table has been created, with a default_time_to_live of 24 hours. DateTieredCompactionStrategy has been set with max_window_size_seconds as 24hrs and tombstone_compaction_interval as 24hrs.

Performance improvements for Test Strategy data flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
In the Test Strategy panel under Single case -> "Settings", selecting the "Data flow" option and choosing CustomerData dataflow was taking an excessive amount of time to run on a system with an extremely large database. To improve performance, two areas have been addressed: 1) the default behavior for record key suggestions in the test panel has been modified to collect only the ID as the additional data is not necessary at that time; 2) a DSS has been added that will opt out of reading and collecting the customer IDs in order to minimize data stored on the clipboard.

Strategy handling updated for very large systems using IH summary
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When a Strategy in a Real-time dataflow used IH Summary on a system with more than 5000 groups for one eventKey, the message "Error retrieving aggregates from Cassandra KVS" intermittently appeared. Investigation showed that if the number of result rows was greater than the FETCH_SIZE (set to 5000), it meant another read to Cassandra was required and an exception was generated. To resolve this, updates have been made so that instead of returning maps, the system will return iterators and change them to map on the calling thread.

Breadcrumb functionality disabled for Process Modeler pending further development
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Some complex installations experienced OOM events and crashes when opening flows in Process Modeler that contained nested levels of nested sub flows. The root cause of this problem was code that allowed excess data to be opened into the clipboard for every sub flow that could potentially be run as a result of running the top level flow. To prevent this problem, breadcrumbs functionality has been disabled at this time. The canvas viewer is being rewritten for ML9 together with a new implementation of multi-level process navigation in order to resolve this issue.

Appearance order retained for multiple swimlanes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After putting multiple swimlanes in a flow, the order of their appearance was returning to the original state after saving it. This was caused by the rendering being performed in the order the server store/sent the swimlane data. To ensure proper behavior, the swimlanes are now reordered based on the swimlane layout (horizontal, vertical) and their coordinates before being rendered.
