Resolved 400 error on second browser session
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
When accessing application URLs in two tabs of a browser window, logging into the second session was throwing a 400 invalid request. This has been resolved by adding specified activities to an allow list which will bypass URLObfuscation in un-authenticated mode. Non-listed activities will be processed using URLObfuscation if it is enabled.

Updated handling for MT query of pr_data_admin table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
When using a multi-tenant environment with Oracle, as the number of users in the environment increased, the number of queries of the pr_data_admin table "WHERE pyEnableAuthService" increased exponentially and causes system slowness. This was traced to missed handling for the @ character in the authentication service cache while requesting, and has been resolved by updating authservicecache.java.

Property check handling updated for Ajax requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
SECU0001 alerts were seen when submitting a case in the interaction portal. Logging indicated the errors were related to the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties which are included in an Ajax request when they exist in the DOM and the 'pyGeolocationTrackingIsEnabled' when rule is true. The error was traced to a condition where a new thread request results in an unexpected property check that encounters a clipboard which doesn't have any pages created for that thread. To resolve this, the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties have been added to an allow list to handle the unexpected properties check.

Resolved buffer overflow for Migration loadDatabase
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
A Rules upgrade failed in the Migration step at loadDatabase stage, involving the move of all the table records from old schema to new schema. This was traced to the inability of Migration to load blob of sizes more than 100 MB, and has been resolved by updating Migration to use byte[] to read the blob content with the help of metadata that contains blob length.
