DSS added to allow masking of subjectID in alerts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
In order to allow customizing whether or not a subjectID is included in alerts, a DSS has been added to conditionally mask the subjectID from being logged. To use this, set the "alerts/maskIHsubjectID" DSS in the Pega-DecisionEngine ruleset to true to hide the pySubjectID.

Removed services check and added warnings for simulations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Attempting to run an audience simulation resulted in the error "Running simulations is not possible, because the required services are not available. Contact your system administrator to enable the data flow and real-time data grid services". Investigation showed the @DsmServices.pxHasFunctionalNodes("DataFlow","Batch") function call contained in the 'when' rule pyUnavailableDecisionServices was returning false even if all the nodes were in the cluster and all the DSM Services were in NORMAL status. To resolve this, the services check has been disabled and the simulation run will show a warning or fail if a data flow run is queued for more than 30 secs or if there is an issue with querying the underlying metrics storage.

Warnings added to prevent empty StrategyResult page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When a Proposition Filter rule refers to a When rule that has "StrategyResult" declared in Pages & Classes but no "Param.StrategyResult", a design time warning will appear to indicate that this might cause discrepancy in globally optimized strategy (GOS) execution. * The warning message for a When rule with StrategyResult in Pages & Classes but not in Parameters: When rule [WhenClass: WhenName] does not have proper mapping for [StrategyResult] page. This would result in an empty [StrategyResult] page being passed into the When rule during execution. Please go to [WhenClass: WhenName] and add [StrategyResult] in the Parameters list and configure the mapping properly on Proposition Filter rule. * The warning message when StrategyResult is not in Pages & Classes but in Parameters list: When rule [WhenClass: WhenName] declares [StrategyResult] in Parameters tab, but isn't used in the conditions. This would affect performance during execution. Please remove the parameter from When rule [WhenClass: WhenName], and remove the Parameter mapping from the corresponding Proposition Filter criteria.

Added parser retraining for intermittent email issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
An email listener was intermittently failing to pull the data from the email subject into the required property in the email triage case. Investigation showed that the pxEmailParser was excluding the first line in the incoming text for some cases, and has been resolved by adding code to retrain the email parser.

Added handling for calling truncate with external Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
A JMX exception was generated when using external Cassandra. This was traced to the combination of calling truncate and using external Cassandra for DDS, and has been resolved by adding a 'do not execute' consistency check during a truncate operation when using external Cassandra.

Scenario Planner performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Scenario planner runs were causing out of memory errors on the dataflow nodes. To resolve this, updates have been made to improve performance. Only relevant information will be kept for decision funnel simulations out of SR pages, the memory footprint of data structures used to aggregate and rollup counts has been reduced, and temporary objects will be released as soon as they are not needed anymore.

ADM group chart level working in Prediction Studio
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Charts were not visible for Group level ADM in the Prediction Studio Models tab. This was traced to an unneeded filter for this version of Pega and has been resolved by withdrawing the filter.

RealTimeProcessingDelay made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using interaction history summaries in Engagement Policy strategies, the check whether a particular action was sent previously was not returning any results for the customers that did have an action "Sent". These records were present in the IH Fact table but the IH Summary tables were missing these records. This has been resolved by making the realTimeProcessingDelay configurable for reading from IH in a real-time flow configurable (done as part of IH pre-aggregation). This may be useful if there can be a difference in time between machines inserting into IH which causes pre-aggregation to miss processing records. The relevant DSS is "interactionHistory/realTimeProcessingDelay", and the default is 5 seconds. This must be set before starting pre-aggregation. This is the difference between the end position and the log time. RuleSet: Pega-DecisionEngine DSS Name: interactionHistory/realTimeProcessingDelay Value: <new delay in seconds>
