Issues fixed in OpenEdge 12.8.5

The introduction of the OE.Core.File and OE.Core.Folder classes were intended to provide a more consistent experience with managing the FILE-INFO system handle, but could unintentionally overwrite the last reference used by ABL business logic. One such example is through use of the ABL Logger framework. The solution is to automatically detect then save and restore existing references whenever these classes must utilize the FILE-INFO handle.

Since 12.8 the internal ABL code which provides requests statistics to the OEJMX utility and OEMANAGER REST API attempts to return a list of all requests instead of being capped at the last 1000 requests as it was in prior releases. This can lead to the Tomcat process crashing if it runs out of memory when building the request metrics.

READ-JSON fails to parse a JSON string where a  temp-table record contains no fields, i.e. “{ }”.  This indicates that the fields in the record contain their initial value, with the exception of child fields in a NESTED DATA-RELATION.  This can happen during WRITE-JSON when fields are marked SERIALIZE-HIDDEN, fields are children of a NESTED DATA-RELATION that specifies FOREIGN-KEY-HIDDEN, or when omit-initial-values is specified as an argument to WRITE-JSON..

When two dynamic datasets share the same dynamic temp-table and one dataset is deleted using DELETE OBJECT, and the other dataset is emptied, the AVM process will crash.This will not occur if you set the AUTO-DELETE attribute of the dynamic buffer of the deleted dataset.

When reading  XML or JSON into a dataset where the temp-table records are nested inside of themselves, the nested elements are skipped over (ignored) by READ-XML and READ-JSON

When a parent class defines a global buffer and a child class that inherits from the parent defines the same buffer locally in a method, when the method is called, the session will crash.
