    Fixed problem

    Problem Short description Description Steps to reproduce

    AI Agents (Glide Family)

    PRB1963825

    Update AI Agents (AIA) true-up version to 4.0.38 Updating the AIA true-up version to fix a potential infinite loop in an upgrade scenario.

    Virtual Agent

    PRB1947698

    Only one agentic workflow executes successfully when the same trigger fires simultaneously When a workflow trigger fires simultaneously multiple times, only one of the resulting agentic workflows executes successfully. The other workflows terminate immediately with an error indicating that no session ID could be found. Each trigger correctly creates a new execution plan and a new conversation record, but only one conversation proceeds, while the others fail at the start.
    1. Create the agentic workflow named 'Test multiple case executions'.
    2. Select three or more case records and update them simultaneously so that the trigger fires for all at once.
    3. Notice that the three execution plans (sn_aia_execution_plan) and three conversation records are created. Only one conversation and execution plan executes successfully. The other conversations don't continue after the first task with the error 'No session ID found'.

    Expected behavior: Each triggered workflow should independently create or resolve its own valid session so that all conversations execute successfully, even under concurrent trigger conditions.

    Actual behavior: Only one conversation executes successfully. The other conversations either terminate immediately or don't continue after the first task with 'No session ID found' error.

    Virtual Agent

    PRB1962510

    Empty sys_cs_message is created when Agentic Mode is on

    1. Set up NAVA.
    2. Make sure Agentic Mode is turned on.
    3. Search 'What is spam?'.
    4. Navigate to sys_cs_message.
    5. Check for an empty message.

    Virtual Agent third-party integrations

    PRB1956730

    Live agent only mode doesn't work for third-party channels The user messages aren't be received by the agent. This message appears in the log: 'Couldn't find rich control, dropping current message'.
    1. Set up VA and a third-party channel (for example, Teams).
    2. Set up VA to live-agent only mode (for example, by having a custom greeting topic that directs to LA).
    3. Start the conversation.
    4. Accept as agent.
    5. Attempt to send messages as a user.

    Observe that the user messages aren't received by the agent with this message in the log: 'Couldn't find rich control, dropping current message'.
