Handling updated for queue processor locks
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The Final activity mentioned in the processing epilog of the Service File rule was not being consistently called from File Listener, causing some of the cases to become stuck and not continue to the next stage. Investigation showed that if the lock was held by the queue processor requestor, the system was unable to obtain the lock but still proceeded to update the LogServiceFile page and persist it. This resulted in overwriting changes made on the LogServiceFile page by the requestor, resetting the completed-batches-count set back to 0. To resolve this, RuleServiceFile -> updateLSFBatchCounts() will call the overloaded lockAndLoad() method in LogServiceFile that accepts a parameter called lockAttempts. This will attempt to obtain a lock for a given number of times before throwing an exception.

Admin Studio will consider cluster protocol when returning listener status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When using a few nodes in standalone mode for BIX extract combined with server nodes using Hazelcast, opening the admin studio pages with service discovery caused an error to be thrown. This was traced to the system writing an entry to pr_sys_statusnodes table as an embedded node whenever a BIX extract was triggered, causing those standalone nodes to be incorrectly considered by the listener landing page. This has been resolved by configuring the system to either return the local member when the cluster protocol is standalone or to return all Hazelcast members if the cluster protocol is Hazelcast.

Ready to process records count correctly displayed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After update, the QP's ready to process records count was always shown as zero in the Admin studio QP landing page. This was traced to a missing sListMaxResultCount property in the SQL query for qp-partition retrieval; this has been added, and the default value has been changed from 0 to -1 for proper interpretation of results.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Hazelcast warnings were seen in cluster logs when Hazelcast was run in embedded mode or c/s mode on a java modular environment i.e. java 9+ which noted that performance and functional impact issues may result if certain internal modules of java are not given reflection access. This update provides the necessary access to some additional java internal modules/packages per the Hazelcast recommendation.
