Kerberos handling updated for database remap
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.4, using Kerberos authentication was failing during the remap task. Investigation showed that null username and password values were being passed to SchemaAssignmentUtility along with the flags as arguments, causing the utility to misinterpret the arguments. As arguments should be populated only when flags and values are available and not null, an update has been made which will set the username and password flags only if they are not null in the Remap database tables target.

Added handling for double quotes when converting tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After importing some packages from development to production, DDL conversion failed for tables with 30 characters in the table name when the import file contained a "Create VIEW" sentence. This was due to the addition of double quotes (" "). The table rename utility was not expecting to handle quoted table names, so as a result the addition of the quotation mark characters were included in the length calculation, and when renaming was performed it yielded syntactically invalid names (with leading " in the name). To resolve this, an update has been made which will strip quotes from table names being passed into TableRenameUtil.

Unneeded AUC error percentage calculation removed for better system performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When generating snapshots of the ADM models, an inefficiency in the metric calculation for the AUC error percentage caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated which could cause slowdown or require a system reboot. This has been resolved by removing the problematic AUC error percentage calculation as it is not used in the UI.

System improvements related to ActiveDocumentType
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Alerts were seen for unexpected properties in HTTP requests related to pyActiveDocumentType, and system slowness was seen when the request was trying to update the properties. This was traced to a condition where a page remove cleared property registration, and has been resolved.

Document statetracker updated for more consistent Scenario Testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Inconsistent behavior was seen when running Scenario Tests: the same scenario test case run multiple times without any changes would sometimes pass and sometimes fail, and sometimes the fields were automatically filled in and sometimes they weren't. Scenario tests depend on the document-statetracker for moving from one step of the execution to the next, but an intermittent failure to reset the document statetracker back to the idle state caused inconsistencies in the execution. To resolve this, a new pub-sub mechanism will be used on the document statetracker.

This has been resolved by adding a null check before reading the DC data model in the activity ActivityStatusExceptionHandler.

Layout Group tab alignment correctly shown in IE
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Even though the responsive breakpoint for a layout group was disabled, the tabs were getting changed to Menus in Microsoft Internet Explorer. This was traced to Tab-overflow being triggered in very small viewports when using IE11, and has been resolved by adding dom manipulations for all layout groups.

Updated dynamic container event listener for JAWS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

This has been resolved by updating the 'pega.util.Event.addListener' function in PZPEGA_UI_DYNAMICCONTAINER.

Cache cleared before PDF generation to ensure proper fonts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The font File OCRAEXT.ttf added at location "/usr/local/tomcat/fonts" was not being picked when the PDF was generated via an agent execution. When the same activity was run manually, the font issue was sporadic. Investigation showed that when multiple apps use the same props directory but different fonts directories, the handling would sometimes cause one app to use another app's props file with the result of the improper fonts mapping. To resolve this, an update has been made to clear the cache before PDF generation starts to ensure the library reads the proper fonts.
