Modified timestamp query used by ClusterAndDBCleaner
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
The job pyClusterAndDBCleaner was failing with the error "ORA-01861: literal does not match format string". This was traced to the sub-activity pzClearOldQueueProcessorBrokenMessages which was not able to remove broken items with encryption in an upgraded environment due to an incorrect timestamp format passed to the Oracle database. This has been resolved by modifying the query to use a timestamp built using INativeSqlBuilder which will include only the information necessary for the deletion of the item.

Enabled turning off general metrics when queue processing metrics are disabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
A memory leak related to QPGeneralMetrics was consuming heap and causing performance issues. Investigation showed queue processor metrics were gathered even when disabled. To resolve this, turning off "General Metrics Handler" while turning off the QPGeneralMetrics has been enabled. Queue processors should now skip the process of collecting general metrics while running activities. This will prevent storing unused (and uncleared) metrics in memory and prevent heap exhaustion.

Improved handling for thread resolution issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Queue Processor/Dataflow was moving to STOPPED state due to failed records in its execution. Investigation showed there was a minor logic issue in the queue processor activity which allowed the Page-Remove step to be called even before the pages were actually created, and this has been resolved by improving the recovery from a cleared ThreadContainer which might cause thread resolution issues.

Resolved validation check freeze for Dynamic Layout Group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
After creating a multi-step form where step 1 had a Dynamic Layout Group(tabbed) that used form fields configured with validations, clicking next with empty/invalid values in the form intermittently caused the screen to freeze and a javascript exception was logged. This was traced to a missed use case related to templates in the childNode, and has been resolved by adding the necessary safe checks in lgtemplate and lgcelltemplate.

DSS added to control section collapse on refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
After update from 8.5, using dynamic layouts that included certain controls (autocomplete/text/dropdown) configured with Refresh-Other Section -> Parent / Top Level Section such as a pyCaseActionArea with Event 'On Change' showed a different behavior: entering a value in the configured text/auto-complete field that leads to the refresh of the top level section will collapse all expanded sections if there is a refresh trigger within the embedded section or dynamic layout of the collapsible layouts. In order to control this behavior, a new DSS has been introduced. By default HonourExpandWhenOnRefresh (owning ruleset Pega-UIEngine) will be set to false to maintain the current behavior of collapse on refresh, while setting it to true will use the older behavior of maintaining expanded sections.

Corrected apiContext when using bulkActions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Row selections in the multi-selection table were intermittently not working after opening a table with bulk actions enabled. Investigation showed that opening a table with bulkActions enabled and then navigating to a table where bulk actions are not available but multi-select is enabled led to functions like setSelectedRows and getSelectedRows still being available in apiContext. This has been resolved by correcting apiContext when bulkActions is enabled.

Corrected LiveDesignViewDisplay error handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
When all rulesets were locked and a section was opened from Live UI in a portal, a "rule deleted" message appeared and it was confirmed the rule was deleted even though the rule was in locked ruleset. Investigation traced this to a pzLiveDesignViewDisplay call to pxChooseBestRuleSet which jumped to failure logic when "allow check out" was disabled, and this has been resolved by correcting the error handling in pzLiveDesignViewDisplay.

Handling added for multi-file upload of duplicated files
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attaching the same file multiple times during a single upload caused some of the duplicated files to not be included. The issue was not seen when attaching the same file multiple times but in different attempts. The exception "Can't continue with file attachment. FileData.xlsx is missing and might have been quarantined by anti-malware software" was logged. This was caused by the files being uploaded without updating filenames to have a unique ID, so multiple files with the same name were overwriting the previous file. This has been resolved by setting the appendUniqueIdToFileName parameter to true in the upload request so each copy of the filename is treated as an individual file.
