Hotfix hashmap cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A DL installation failed with an out-of-memory error. It was observed that many CacheEntry(VersionedJdbcJarRwader.java) hashmaps were being created to store the details for each hotfix but that were then never cleared. This has been resolved by adding the finally block in CodeImportProcessImpl.java class to call the shutdown method for proper cleanup. In addition, the default command line utility (prpcUtils) has been updated to use JVM settings of Xmx 4GB and capture a heap dump if an out-of-memory error is encountered. The auto-generated prconfig.xml has also been updated to leverage its minimal startup setting which will avoid loading the conclusion cache into memory.

Added support for Helper Text Question Mark with visibility condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
The Helper Text Question Mark was not displaying if the control was configured with "Help icon with overlay on hover" combined with a visibility condition. This was a missed use case, and the expression visibility support for controls.changes have now been added in the pzpega_ui_DLCellTemplate.js file.

Restarting the SVM training analysis checks for existing model request to continue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When creating a predictive model there was an issue with completing the SVM training analysis either due to error or browser crash. In previous versions of Designer Studio the session would stay alive and continue to execute, however more recent versions of the decision analysis's portal expected the user to keep the session active in order for the model to complete even though for long-running model training it is not viable to keep a session open for many hours. This was caused by the model generation process being kicked off again when the wizard was relaunched, and has been resolved by adding a check to the relaunch that will look for an existing model generation request and continue with the same request if one is found.

Code added to format location header for redirect response in IE
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When using Internet Explorer, authentication was working but the portal did not load. This was traced to IE mandating the presence of a location header in the response: an HTTP 303 "See Other Response" was being returned along with the initial portal HTML payload, but recent modifications to SAML 2.0 to use the PRAuth Servlet were missing this specific redirect case. To resolve this, generic code has been inserted that adds the location header in all redirect cases.

Fixed single logout for Mashup applications and updated logging for pzAuthServiceSelector
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When the GOC (Global Operations Console) application was added as a mashup application to MSP (My Support Portal), logging off from MSP showed the GOC session in a disconnected state despite them using the same SSO application service. The issue was traced to homeurl not being stored properly in mashup use cases, and has been resolved by getting the property homeurl from pxRequestor page instead of pxThread page. In addition, the pzAuthServiceSelector activity was including an 'infoForced' log message. Although the redirect URI does not contain any confidential information, the 'state' parameter should not be visible in logs. This has been handled by changing oLog.infoForced to oLog.debug().

RRChartDiv tries resize three times before exiting to prevent high CPU usage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
Very high CPU usage was reported when two or more tabs were open, even when there was not actual work being performed in the app. This was traced to a chart in Team Dashboard that was displayed with "No data to display"; because the toolbar height was always 0, the resize callback was going into an infinite loop. This has been fixed by modifying the logic in pzRRChartDiv to only try the resize three times to get the height of toolbar or slider before exiting.

Added check for external Cassandra cluster to avoid unnecessary DDS pulse error logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
After upgrade, DDS pulse errors were filling up the jvm.out logs. This was caused by a check in system_auth keyspace that was redundant for sites running their own Cassandra cluster (external). To fix this, DDS pulse operation will check If the Cassandra cluster is external; if it is, it will not check system_auth keyspace and will Omit DDS pulse operation actions except update logging.

Authentication tools now synchronized to handle multiple simultaneous calls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When testing an application that relies on SAMLAuth to create operators and map their data to specific fields it was seen that some users had errant information mapped to their various fields, mostly related to the .pyUserIdentifier and .pyLabel fields. The issue surfaced when multiple user sessions were simultaneously accessing the state of the parameter page, and was traced to an issue where the tools were not synchronized . during the authentication process. To correct this, the tools will be synchronized by storing their state in the parameter page. Context obj will remain constant while the parameter page will be passed in the authentication process.

Top level activity steps are numbered correctly when child steps exist
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
Top level activity steps were showing as being numbered incorrectly when child steps existed, but saving the rule or refreshing the rule corrected the numbering. This was caused by CSS that was added to the rule form harness to increment the step number; while expanding a top level node the reset happened and then the counter initialized the value. To address this, the code has been changed from CSS counter to CSS attr which will use the index attribute of the current row. Additional CSS cleanups were also done to remove IE9 and other browser-specific styling that is no longer needed.
