Bizzkit 21.54.0

Requirements

Highlights

• Completion of Pinning feature making it possible to pin products in Ecommerce Search via UI and search api

• Completely new search & filter engine in PIM

• API endpoint to create predefined settings in DAM

Changes

CMS

Bug fixes

BCMS-840 URLDecoding of segmentations keys on public API endpoints

Friendly reminder that using segmentation IDs containing slashes is considered bad practice and IF used will only work when running CMS as a service. Also note that using characters that require URL encoding is strongly discouraged, since they can lead to confusion on whether the key is already encoded/decoded in certain situations, leading to double encoding/decoding accidents.

Upgrade instructions

CMS

Optional: In order to add a navigation link to EcommerceSearch in the top bar, add the ECommerceSearchUIUrl placeholder in the ContentManagement.Elements.dll-Placeholder.config file:

1

<add name="ECommerceSearchUIUrl" value="" />

DAM

This version of DAM contains a database migration. After upgrading, you should verify that database has version 21.16.0 (eg. under Settings -> General Information).

Optional: In order to add a navigation link to EcommerceSearch in the top bar, add the ECommerceSearchUIUrl placeholder in the MediaBank.Elements.dll-Placeholder.config file:

1

<add name="ECommerceSearchUIUrl" value="" />

MAIL

Optional: In order to add a navigation link to EcommerceSearch in the top bar, add the ECommerceSearchUIUrl placeholder in the MailOffice.Elements.dll-Placeholder.config file:

1

<add name="ECommerceSearchUIUrl" value="" />

PIM

Before upgrading

Due to the large number of possible PDecimalX values in PIM, it is recommended to verify before starting the migration, that no values are present in the database which would fail the migration check.

To help with this, a collection of SQL scripts have been included in the 21.54.0 release assets file.

The scripts are as follows:

• verify_attribute_collection_item_values.sql
• verify_attribute_value_ranges.sql
• verify_global_list_items.sql
• verify_product_validator_rules.sql
• verify_selected_units.sql
• lookup_owners_of_attribute_collection.sql

For the majority of the verify_x scripts the results should be sufficient to locate the offending value within the running PIM and handle it accordingly.

For the verify_attribute_collection_item_values.sql script however, the result values will be harder to interpret. For this purpose an auxiliary script is included, lookup_owners_of_attribute_collection.sql, which allows the user to provide a number of AttributeCollectionIds, as are returned from verify_attribute_collection_item_values.sql, and resolve those to the entity in PIM where the illegal attribue value is assigned.

Once the result of running each script is empty, it is safe to proceed with the upgrade.

After upgrading

Verify that database schema and content has version 21.35.0.7 (eg. under System Administration -> General Information) which means that database has been successfully migrated.

The product index engine has been rebuilt completely and the old Elastic index is not compatible with the new engine, so a new one must be created:

1. Set a name for the new index in the Bizzkit.PIM.Console.exe-appSettings.config file (use a different name to avoid overwriting old index in case a manual rollback is needed):

   1	<add key="productIndex.index" value=""/>

2. Run the consolidate-configtables command in the PIM console in order to save the setting

3. Run the consolidate-pim command in the PIM console which implictly creates a new index

Optional: In order to add a navigation link to EcommerceSearch in the top bar, add the search.uiUrl setting in the Bizzkit.PIM.Console.exe-appSettings.config file:

1

<add key="search.uiUrl" value=""/>

Next, run the consolidate-configtables command in the PIM console in order to save the setting.
