Large flow handling improved for IE8
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When opening a large flow in IE8 which includes multiple sub flows, a long-running script warning is displayed. This is caused by too many calls being executed at once on IE8, and has been remedied by turning on the asyncProcessing parameter for IE8.

Corrected swim lane routing with shapes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
While using swim lanes, adding shapes into the flow caused unexpected and random behavior of the process modeler including failure to return control to the user after saving. This error was related to routing handling when swim lanes are present, and has been corrected.

Resolved issues with Flow shapes distributed across Swim Lanes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Pool size is maintained as both pixels and inches, but auto conversion was failing if the pool dimension was very large. This created an error where saving a flow rule could cause the pool to drastically shrink (for example, 20 inches becoming 20 pixels). In order to maintain the proper dimensions, a check has been added for pool and swimlane to ensure the proper inch/pixel conversions.

Enhancement added for node heartbeat recovery process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nodes were not showing up in the admin portal even though they were up and running and could be seen in the pr_sys_statusnodes table. The exception "An exception was encountered while invoking the cluster membership listener callback" was seen. All nodes became visible again after multiple restarts. The root cause was traced back to a temporary database connectivity problem. The database itself was fine according to database monitoring reports, but a network problem, a slow database query, or another issue prevented Pega from establishing a connection for more than a minute. An enhancement has been made to resolve this: if a node becomes unhealthy due to the service registry missing due to a failed heartbeat, the heartbeat will try to recover after 60 seconds and keep trying every 30 seconds until it succeeds.

Resolved Cassandra query read/write latency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Read/write latency was seen when certain Cassandra queries were triggered by the system. This was traced to an unusual case where a flush was not done for an exceptionally long time period, and has been resolved.

Code fragment removed to eliminate Fortify false positive
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
A code remnant related to Boolean.getBoolean(..) in Rule-Declare testConsistency was causing a false positive in a Fortify scan. This piece of code is obselete and is not used anywhere, and has been removed.

Filter added to ensure correct context for proposition strategy rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Given two applications (ex App1 and App2) hosted on the same domain where App2 was built on App1, trying to create a strategy rule in App1 and do a test run strategy using the propositional data component which internally uses App2 propositions generated the error: Failed to find a 'RULE-DECISION-DECISIONPARAMETERS' with the name 'GROUP_2'. There were 1 rules with this name in the rulebase, but none matched this request." Investigation showed the strategy was using the PropositionNoCacheUtils and PropositionTools java classes to load the propositions during run time. In these classes, the group classes were browsed from the db irrespective of the application context, causing the strategy run to fail as it was not able to access the decision data rules in other applications which shared the same SR class as the current application. To resolve this, a filter has been added to the PropositionNoCacheUtils and PropositionTools java classes to filter out the groups that are not in the current application context.

Kafka producer message size made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Kafka producer was using a default max message size setting of 1.3Mb while the Kafka broker max message size was set to 5Mb. This caused large processing queues to eventually throw errors indicating a scheduler.JobExecutionException related to "There was a problem saving an instance of class System-Message-QueueProcessor-DelayedItem". To correct this, a producer message size configuration option has been added along with additional logging for the KafkaSaveOperation.
