Email Listener auto-reply evaluation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, messages were being read but not getting processed for a specific Email listener (RCEmailListerner). The error "Email flagged as an autoreply email and will not be processed" appeared in the logs. Previously, an email was not considered to be an auto-reply only when the 'auto-submitted' header didn't exist or existed with value 'no'. This caused issues with auto-forward or auto-redirect emails where 'auto-submitted:auto-generated' could be in the header. Due to this, email was marked as auto-reply and email listener stopped processing it. To resolve this, the system has been modified to mark the message as auto-reply if it finds 'auto-submitted: auto-replied' in the header, but not 'auto-submitted:auto-generated'.

Handling added for missing archival class definitions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Handling has been added to avoid suspending the archival process when a class definition no longer exists in the system. If the system does not find a class corresponding to a configured case type, the exception generated will be logged and processing will continue with the next case type.

Job scheduler tracing updated for multi-node
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When attempting to trace the job scheduler using "trace any node", the error "Unable to trace trace job scheduler 'ConsumerPathRequestEvents' on node as the scheduled tracer information was reset" appeared intermittently. When Job Scheduler is configured to run on "any associated node" and the trace is designated as "trace any node" option, the implementation was running the trace on the node that received the request which may or may not be the one running the job scheduler. This was not an issue when tracing a job scheduler that was running on "all associated nodes". To ensure the correct node is found, when using "trace any node" for the job scheduler, the system will now look for the eligible node and return the requestor ID for the trace.

Some general metrics now disabled by default for better performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
While testing decisioning on fnx cloud platform, using a client application to simulate load and using the Stream service with Kafka Instaclustr as a backend, large latency spikes over 1,000 ms were observed at around 33 second intervals from Stream writes. Investigation identified that some metrics that are gathered every 30 sec (on every single node) include a "lag" calculation that requires a heavy process operation during which more threads are spun off, causing CPU spikes. To mitigate this, the general metrics are now disabled by default and can be enabled using DSS.

Correspondence rule finds updated content
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
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.

Optimizing helper class enhanced to handle external databases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Running a BIX extract that included a manifest for a target database was resulting in a null pointer exception for the manifest extraction. Attempting to generate the DDL for the manifest table also failed. This was traced to an issue with the helper class using a hardcoded default database for forming the queries, causing it to ignore the database config/DADN/prconfig for the Oracle database and form a query using the PegaRules' database credentials. This only occurred when trying to do external database operations on a different database platform; Oracle PegaRules worked as expected with an Oracle external database and Postgres Pegarules worked with a Postgres external database, but mixing Postgres PegaRules and an Oracle external database would result in the null pointer exception. To resolve this, the helper class has been enhanced to work with external databases by passing the database name as a parameter so it will properly calculate the query based on the type of target. An error in the name of the class has also been corrected, and is now available as PerformanceHelper rather than the previous "PerformaneHelper".

Date field correctly extracted for IMAP inbound email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
fter upgrade, email-sourced cases were not being created correctly. Tracer showed the date field was blank, causing an error which was traced to the getReceivedDate being returned as null for the JavaMail AP even though the IMAP protocol was being used. This was an unintended side effect of work done to handle a throttling exception in the IMAP inbound email flow, and has been resolved by updating the system so that if the getReceivedDate is null, the date will be extracted from the mail header while processing dates in EmailMessageInfo class.
