Explicit expiration added to avoid searching for expired requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
A login page was taking long time to display. This was traced to pre-authentication cookie in the browser pointing to the requestor object on the server which triggered a lookup across the entire cluster of servers to find the requestor. This was not only taking time, but the attempt to find the requestor in the cluster would always fail to return results as the requestor was not passivated but instead removed after two minutes. To resolve this, an expiration has been added to the Pega-RULES cookie when the value is pre-authenticated. The time to expire is derived based on the short-lived requestor time for unauthenticated requestors + 1 minute, and will be 2 minutes by default. This will avoid searching for a requestor across all nodes in cluster when the requestor has already timed out and been destroyed by server.

Custom header character encoding for Subject added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Case correspondence that contained a Subject with accent characters such as "Invitation à être" was being rejected by MailJet on the basis of encoding issues on the "Thread-Topic" when using custom headers. The error "BAD HEADER SECTION, Non-encoded non-ASCII data (and not UTF-8)" was generated. This was traced to the Send Email Smart Shape handling when using custom headers, and has been resolved by encoding the Subject before appending it to the Thread-topic header while adding custom headers.

ClipboardPageImpl handling updated for virtual list variable mRepresentativeRow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
A Concurrent Modification exception was seen after update. This was traced to the ClipboardPageImpl use of a virtual list variable "mRepresentativeRow" in the "InMemoryStringTable" class's method where it was iterating the "InMemoryStringTable" while the same list("InMemoryStringTable") was being modified by another thread at the same time. This has been resolved by modifying the Java file InMemoryStringTable to create a copy of the variable mRepresentativeRow to make sure that while iterating over it, the application will iterate only on a copied variable and not the original variable to prevent the concurrent modification exception.

Decimal parameters retain null value instead of being set to 0
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When mapping any data in 8.6+, if the source is a decimal property rule and the target is a parameter defined as decimal, the decimal parameter's value will be 0 if the source property is null. This was a behavior change from previous versions of Pega where the target parameter would be null. This has been resolved by changing the code generation for the read operation on the parameter decimal type assignment to use resolveToString() instead of calling resolveToBigDecimal() so a null value is retained.

Updated handling for last_access to improve backwards compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
After update from Pega 8.3 to Pega 8.6, many errors were seen in the logs regarding the call of the Pega API /api/v1/nodes/all/requestors. In 8.3, the API was responding with the field last_access populated properly, but this field was blank in the new version. This was an unintended consequence of work done to resolve inconsistencies with the date format in Admin Studio, and has been resolved.

Handling added updates involving Oracle descending column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The build was failing when attempting to update to Pega 8.6, and an error indicating an issue with Oracle columns was generated. Investigation showed that when a column changed that belonged to an index which had a 'desc' column (even if the changed column was not specified as desc), an Oracle restriction was triggered. This occurred with any column size increase if the column participated in an index containing a descending column or a function index. This has been resolved by adding a step to drop the index before altering the column if a Descending index is involved, and to catch the case where the resized index is part of an index that has a descending column but is not necessarily a descending column itself.

Data page definition reload made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The data page was intermittently being removed from the cache. This was traced to the use of a thread from ThreadContainer to reload the data page definition: a null thread could be returned if the request came from a master agent, which would then cause the definition reload to fail. This has been resolved by updating the system to use the current thread in context to reload the data page definition.

Removed extra space in Malaysian locale
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
For the ms_MY locale, an extra space was being appended to Number formats, such as " 0", " 1". This has been corrected.

ClusterAndDBCleaner updated to with with Oracle query limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The pzClusterAndDBCleaner job scheduler was not able to cleanup data in pr_op_data session table due to the delete query formed to clean up this table throwing "ora-01795 maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000 oracle 19c" exception. This has been resolved by splitting requestor IDs into batches of 1000.
