Cleanup added for disabled/deleted operator passivation data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
In some scenarios, a passivated session for a non-active operator was able to be resumed after cluster restart. This has been resolved by adding a check for disabled or deleted operators which will then delete any lingering passivated data.

Updated XMLDataToPage privilege
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Cases were not being created or moved due to a privilege issue on EndUser portal after update. This was traced to the XmlDataToPage activity now including the OpenDeveloperForm privilege, which end user operator profiles do not have. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating XMLDataToPage so it requires authentication but not privilege to run.

MSGraph email listener enhancements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attachments with .eml /.msg extensions were treated as FileAttachments by the MS Graph API and generating a classcastexception. To resolve this, a check has been added to identify the attachment along with content type so .eml will be correctly recognized. In addition, the MSGraph email listener functionality related to converting from Graph to MIME message has been enhanced around the 'TO' and 'CC' recipients in a MIME message and for parsing nested attachments in Item attachment for addition to MsgraphMessage.

CreateVersion rule updated for REST Integration Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a JSON response in the Create REST Integration wizard to generate the rules, the wizard displayed a null pointer exception during the final generation. The error pop up message "Generation process has been canceled and all created records have been removed" was displayed on the screen. This was traced to the REST Integration Wizard putting data rules in the wrong ruleset version when the context of both the Integration Layer and the Data Layer were configured to use an existing ruleset and to create a new version of that ruleset, and has been resolved by modifying the pzCreateVersion rule to support this.

Updated use of declarative processing during performance testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6

DSS added to control DADT purge
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Thread dumps and service restarts were seen when Decision Engine data nodes were working with a very large number of tables. This has been resolved by adding a DSS as part of the CDH layer which will skip CDH DADT that contains pattern DATA_BATCHOUT, for instance "DATA-ADMIN-DB-TABLE DATA-BATCHOUTPR469001" to prevent the deletion causing full cache invalidation of the table information map. With this DSS set to true, when the purge agent runs and deletes the DADT, class cache should no longer be invalidated. With the DSS missing or set to a value other than true, the class cache invalidation will still occur.

Handling updated for validating properties with a FieldValue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Running a report which included a property calculated by a Declare Expression generated an excessive number of log messages indicating "Error occurred while executing forward chaining on page 'pyReportContentPage.pxResults". Degraded system performance, stack overflow, and other similar issues were seen. This was traced to an infinite loop that resulted from a missed use case for a Report Definition with a Target property of a Declare Expression with FieldValue, and has been resolved by disabling autochain while validating properties with a FieldValue.

Parameter handling updated for GetRepositoryFolderName
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
An UnresolvedAssemblyError was generated with an Unauthenticated Thread exception after opening the declare expression Embed-Application-StorageProvider pyFolder and performing a private edit. This error was traced to the Rule-Utility-Function call "pxGetRepositoryFolderName()", which was expecting a parameter "tools" which was not being passed from the declare expression rule. To resolve this, the pyFolder and pyFoldeIf declare expressions and pzsetContentStorage have been modified to pass 'tools' as a parameter to pxGetRepositoryFolderName.
