Performance improvements for stale thread warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Stale thread warnings were causing performance issues during dataflow run execution. Stale thread/slow component warnings are added as part of the dataflow execution when a processing thread takes more than 5 minutes to process a single dataflow record. The stacktrace of the dataflow thread is added as part of the warning for debugging purposes, but in some scenarios the stacktrace can become very large. This has been resolved by removing the stacktraces from the warning, improving the query logic, and adding the run ID to the exception method to assist if there is an error.

Survey Complex Question Definition properly displayed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Selecting any Complex Question to look at the definition displayed a blank screen. This was traced to an issue with the ruleformtabs properties for the layout group used by complex questions, and has been resolved by changing the Layout Group display type from "Default" to "Tab".

Improved Page compare for page groups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Field level auditing on embedded properties sporadically did not report the "old" value when a property was modified even though the page was listed as "Modified". This has been resolved by adding logic to the pxComparePages algorithm to treat Lists and Groups differently. Now Page and Value Groups will use pxSubscript as the primary way to detect add and deletes.

Added logic to handle manual validate rule creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Manually creating a Validate rule with conditions and then opening the configure view with conditions caused the validation rule to be removed from the flow action rule along with the validation conditions in the validation rule referred in flowAction rule. This has been resolved by updating the logic in the Condition Builder to handle this use case.

Offline.Rulecache UI module capacity increased
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Clicking the save button on a modal window caused the application to freeze and all the buttons were disabled. This was traced to the pega.offline.rulecache UI module having a default hard limit of 500 rules. Once the hard limit was reached, the system intermittently silently refused caching additional rules depending on the amount of rules packaged or the order in which the rules are loaded to the cache. To resolve this, the system has been updated to only log a console warning once the maximum threshold is reached, allowing the application to operate normally and at the time inform about the potential impact of having too many rules in memory.

Signature Accept callback fires correctly in offline app
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Clicking on the Accept button in the Pega mobile signature control was not properly calling the necessary pega.ui.signature.acceptSignatureCallback method. This has been resolved by adding code for the Post Success and Failure callback on Signature accept in the offline app.

Handling added to process Actions chunks on multiple nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
If the synching of chunks to a node was interrupted, attempting to resume the remaining chunks resulted in a processing issue if the Load Balancer passed the connection to a different node than was used for the first connection. As an example, if chunks were synched to node "A" and the restarted sync saved the remaining chunks to node "B", when all chunks were synced node "B" incorrectly determined node "A" was actually doing the work and skipped the processing of the chunks on node "B". This resulted in queued chunks being left untouched. To resolve this, the logic has been updated to allow multiple nodes to process the chunks.

Updated RequestorInitialize to improve performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After updating, initial user logins were taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to the standard rule "RequestorInitialize", and has been resolved by updating the implementation.
