Changes

CMS

Enhancements

BCMS-850 As a product owner i need support for Elasticsearch 8 as ES7 is almost EOL

CMS has been updated to include support to ElasticSearch 8.

Other

BCMS-678 As a product owner I need REST based implementation of the Reverse API method GetSegmentationsMethodV1Base in order to not rely as heavily on the customer solution

This update changes how segmentations and segmentation permissions are managed in the CMS.

Until now, segmentation information lived in and was owned by the customer solution, not the CMS. Therefore, the CMS needed to request this information from the customer solution every time it was needed. After this update, segmentation information now lives in the CMS, and will NOT be requested from the customer solution all the time.

A background service will be running and updating the database periodically in the background for the current customers.

New customers should call the newly added endpoints to update the database.

Segmentations are saved without any UI culture information.

If the reverse API is enabled for fetching segmentations, any modifications done via the public API will be overwritten. Specifically, if your reverse API does not return the same set of segmentations and/or permissions that is currently persisted in CMS, it will ensure your reverse API is the source of truth, and delete unexpected data from CMS. If the segmentation keys or permissions match with your reverse API after you have persisted them via the public API, it will only overwrite fields and not delete the segmentation or permissions themselves. Please consider disabling the flag before using the public API for managing segmentations (if the flag was initially enabled) to keep the integration simpler.

Newly added endpoints:

• POST /_/segmentations: Saves or updates the given segmentation
• DELETE /_/segmentations/{id}: Deletes the segmentation of the given id. It also deletes any data related to this segmentation from the Segmentation Permission table.
• POST /_/segmentation-permissions/by-user-and-key/{segmentationKey}: Saves permission for the given user and given segmentation key
• DELETE /_/segmentation-permissions/by-user-and-key/{segmentationKey}: Deletes the permission for the given segmentation key for the given user.
• POST /_/segmentation-permissions: Gets the segmentation permissions of the given user.
• POST /_/segmentation-permissions/keys/{segmentationKey}: Gets the users who have permission to the given segmentation key.

Upgrade instructions

CMS

BCMS-678

Existing solutions will need to configure the CMS to periodically fetch segmentation information from the existing Reverse API endpoints.

To do this, add the FEATURE_FLAGS_CMS__ENABLE_REVERSE_API environment variable with a value of true in the machine (or IIS) running the CMS website.

This way the CMS will fetch segmentations and segmentation permissions for all users once a minute. Existing solutions may use this feature to avoid making any changes in the application code.

It's also important to note that the admin role needs ViewSystemConfiguration permissions in the Users application. This is so the synchronization job is able to know which machine clients exist and grant them the appropriate permissions in the CMS.

For the new customers or customers that are going to update their systems to use new implementation: - Add segmentations by using '//segmentations' post endpoint - Add segmentation permissions for the user by using the user email as the user name by using '//segmentations' post endpoint
