Handling updated for queue processor locks
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
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.

Queue Processor threads explicitly cleared before new interaction
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Queue Processor was not clearing already evaluated freshness caches before running an activity, potentially causing a stale data page to be processed. This has been resolved by explicitly clearing the thread on a new interaction by invoking ((IPRThread) thread).clearOnNewInteraction.

Archival IndexManagerService performance improved for very large tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Archival IndexManagerService was taking an excessive amount of time to run updateStatusForCasesWithInconsistentArchiveStatus(), a method which checks the parent case's archival status and compares it to all its children (cases & dependencies) statuses and flags parent cases with statuses that do not match. This check is done on all parent case instances that are in the indexer stage, and intermittently timed out and failed on a pr_metadata table containing over 5,000,000 records. This has been resolved by splitting the inconsistent check into smaller tasks and addressing potential parent/child/dependency relationships that can occur in the pr_metadata table.

Correspondence rule finds updated content
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Activity Method Property-Set-Stream retrieved the older content of Correspondence when triggered via Queue processor. Restarting the queue processor resolved the issue until the next correspondence update, and then the cycle repeated. This has been resolved by adding an explicit thread cleanup to remove cached rules.

Assistance and diagnostics added for issue with opening imported 'when'
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After update, attempting to open rules that were developed on lower environments and then imported resulted in unknown errors. A workaround has been added to skip and log any corrupted property that might be interfering with the rule opening: enable Skip-Corrupt-Property to put this in place. To improve diagnostics, the new logger NBA-WME-DEBUG has been added. If the error continues after using Skip-Corrupt-Property, Skip-Corrupt-Property should be disabled and NBA-WME-DEBUG should be enabled and kept active until the issue occurs again.

French added to Locale List Separator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Exporting data to Excel in CSV format resulted in text with French accent characters such as "Décision pour une nouvelle demande de règlement" to appear as random characters, and columns were not being split. This has been resolved by adding a record for the French locale in the pzGetLocaleListSeparator decision table rule.

SQL queries modified to use qualified table references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Portal launch in the development environment was taking an excessive amount of time, as were some standard reports. The PurgeAssemplyDatabaseCache agent activity also generated an error regarding "(internal.cache.RAPurge) ERROR - Purge, unexpected error in removeOldAppCentricCacheData". These issues were traced to SQL queries that contained pr_sys_app_hierarchy_flat without a schema qualifier, and have been resolved by changing to class qualified table references.
