Jobs restart after system failure
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Several key standard CLUSTER type jobs were left in disabled state after a performance break test with rolling restart of the nodes. This was traced to prevention code that was originally intended to disallow stopping the scripts, but had an unexpected result after a system failure when the request to restart the standard pzDelayedQueueProcessorSchedule was rejected if the check of the job name matched the deny list. This has been resolved by removing the preventative code.

Correct time zone chosen for fr_Fr appointment function
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When using the "fr_Fr" location and and "Europe/Paris" time zone for appointments, a null pointer exception was seen related to the function getStartOrEndDateTime. Investigation showed that the incorrect time zone was being picked from the fr_FR.xml file when parsing the date. To resolve this, 4 letter time zone codes have been moved above the 3 letter time zone codes.

Email addre+E317ss parsing logic updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Email listener functionality for case creation and email notifications was not working as expected after update due to a difference in the the service email rule request header properties (pyInboundEmail.pyFrom & .pyInboundEmail.pyFromDisplayName) clipboard values. This has been resolved by updating the parsing logic for the email addresses to look for an InternetAddress object and then fallback to a regex match.

Decision table query performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Severe latency was seen after update, and it was not possible to save business rule changes. This was traced to an issue with the decision rule being treated as a custom rule, and has been resolved by inserting a check. In addition, optimization has been added for queries on the pr_sys_decchg table.

Rule Assembly update for pxTextInput and pxDisplayText
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After the application restart, multiple rule assembly alerts were seen for pxTextInput and pxDisplayText . During first access, Assembly is done and container is cached in VTable; investigation showed that in this case, the Load class without the package name had a class not found issue, and then subsequent access tried to use the container from cache and assembly was not done. To prevent this, an update has been made to perform the class lookup using the package name and class name.

Handling added for RuleNotFound exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
If a declare rule was run on a redux page and the highest ruleset version was withdrawn, a RuleNotFound exception was thrown and step status was set with the message "Failed to find a 'RULE-DECLARE-EXPRESSIONS' ...". This has been resolved by updating the system to avoid throwing a RuleNotFound exception if the candidate list is empty for the declare expression.
