Updated LegacyPageAdapter with forward links

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

After upgrade, attempting to submit an assignment from an existing case type did not work, and the message "There was an error processing the 'ValidateTechnicalData' step [(no task)]: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.pega.platform.clipboard.adapters.internal.LegacyPageAdapter cannot be cast to com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.clipboard.ClipboardPageImpl" appeared on screen. Investigation showed that a reference forward link was unexpectedly referring to a LegacyPageAdapter. This has been resolved by implementing get/setNamedPageReferenceForwardLinks in LegacyPageAdapter so LegacyPageAdapter can be cast to a ClipboardPageAPI.

HTML Tags stripped from text email body

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

The Service Email message data section was showing HTML tags in the email message body for both 'prefer-HTML' and 'prefer-inline' where the body was missing. Investigation showed there was no default feature for segregating the markup tags and providing the plain text when ‘HTML’ format was selected in Outlook. This has been resolved by adding a Prefer: outlook.body-content-type="text" header to get the message without HTML tags.

INC-139611 · Issue 587600

Timezone.getDefault function replaced for performance improvement

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

Blocking threads were seen around the GregorianCalendarFactory.clearObject(Object) function, leading to an adverse impact on the performance.TimeZone.getDefault() is a synchronized method call, and under high load this method caused contention when more date-related APIs were invoked. To resolve this, Timezone.getDefault() has been removed and the function has been assigned to a static variable used in the clearObject() API.

INC-139619 · Issue 597333

Agent tracing handling updated

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

When attempting to trace agents the error "Unable to trace the agent" appeared on screen. Investigation showed that the data page used by the Tracer was not always available in a thread that was displaying the section, most commonly if the section was using deferred loading. This has been resolved by using a data page available in a thread that opens a Tracer's section.

INC-139626 · Issue 592389

Enhancement added to fix corrupted operators

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

After upgrade, an issues were seen with older operator IDs: it was not able to save the operator ID, switching the portal to admin studio was not working correctly, and it was not possible to launch the case manager portal with the migrated operator IDs. The issues were not seen with operators created after the upgrade. This was traced to corruption in the BLOB, and has been resolved by adding an enhancement to run a utility that will fix the existing corrupted operators.

Legacy and new ID generation logging enhanced

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

Legacy and new ID generation logging enhancedA DuplicateKeyException was generated when attempting to create a case. The root issue was related to the local modification of the reserved ID field in the database through a custom activity and was able to to be fixed with a local change. In order to improve diagnosing events such as this in the future, enhanced logging has been added to to the legacy and new ID generation.

INC-139695 · Issue 593084

Mountain time zone format updated

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

If an operator was created with any calendar instance time zone mapped to "Canada/Mountain" and made unavailable for the current period, routing an assignment to that operator using the standard ToCurrentOperator activity resulted in a null pointer error when the Rule-Utility-Function was executed to find a substitute operator. This was traced to the time zone format Input to DateTimeUtils API (parseDateTimeString) having the wrong time zone, for example, 20200819T080000.000 MDT (CA), and has been resolved by modifying the locale XMLs to remove (CA) from zone code so that MDT (CA) is updated as MDT.

INC-139802 · Issue 594032

Extra logging and more resiliency for cleanup daemons

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

Null pointer exceptions thrown by daemon threads that clean requestors and handle agent changes can result in a high number inactive requestors. Additional logging has been out into place to help capture information to identify the offending data, and master daemons for requestors and for new agents have been made more resilient to any null pointer exception thrown by the diagnostics code so they do not stop their work.
