Performance improvements for database queries and archiving
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
In order to improve the performance of database queries, repetitive unnecessary database calls have been removed, archival queries have been simplified, and diagnostic metrics were added. Optional batch requestors have been added to all archival services with their own DSS settings to allow processing more cases in parallel. It is recommended to create 2 additional indexes to help with the archival process. The indexes will be on:pegadata.pr_metadata (pyisparent, pyobjclass, pyarchivestatus) INCLUDE (pyinskey); pegadata.pr_metadata (pyisparent, pyarchivestatus) INCLUDE (pyinskey);

Personalized table sort order limited
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After implementing a personalized table, the query started adding more 'order by' sorts, causing system impact. This was traced to the pzPopulateSortOrder activity Implementation having different constants assumed for the same purpose (999 in one place and 99999 in another), and has been resolved by updating the logic in step 1 and step 2 to disregard sort orders higher than 999.

Secure shared link generation added to scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When a scheduled report with a link was sent in email, clicking the link displayed an access denied message. To support this use, logic has been added to pytaskoutputprocessor in the pega-scheduledtask-reporting and pega-scheduledtask classes that will create a secure encrypted URL using the PublicLinkURL function.

Corrected blank lines for hidden report filter criteria
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When the report browser had five filter criteria for a report and only the last two were made visible due to conditions, three blank lines were shown above the visible filters. This was traced to the Report Definition column filter showing the grid row as empty space when "Filter Not Visible in Viewer" was selected, and has been resolved by adding an inline style to PzPromptGrid.

Enhancement added for tenant-level authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
In a multi-tenant PDC with a few tenants that utilize their own custom SSO, a pre-authentication activity inside a tenant that should block community access was also affecting tenants that did not have that pre-auth activity set. This was a missed use case and has been resolved by adding a tenantId hash in SchemePRAuth.makeUniqueSchemeName() to create the authServiceName.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After configuring SSO to create operators on fly using a model operator, a new user logging in for the very first time had their operator ID created using the model operator, but after update new users logging in to the system received the error "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS LOOKUPLIST". This was due to the methods used for additional security on the activity @baseclass LookUpList which allows it to only be run by authenticated users, and has been resolved
