Connector Packs

Connector Packs complement DX Core. Each Connector Pack integrates Magnolia with an adjacent software category. The packs are optional. You typically need to connect multiple systems when building a best-of-breed digital experience platform. Connector Packs make it all easier.

SAP Commerce Cloud Connector 

This release delivers a new connector for SAP Commerce Cloud (formerly Hybris).

The connector includes a new User endpoint for SAP:

• /users/{userId}/accessToken — To log in a user and obtain the user's access token.
• /users/{userId}/addresses — To handle stored addresses of users.
• /users/{userId}/paymentMethods — To handle stored payment methods of users.

accessToken
@POST
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/accessToken")

getUserAddresses
@GET
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/addresses")

createUserAddress
@POST
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/addresses")

deleteUserAddress
@DELETE
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/addresses/{addressId}")

updateUserAddress
@PUT
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/addresses/{addressId}")

getUserPaymentMethods
@GET
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/paymentMethods")

updateUserPaymentMethod
@PUT
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/paymentMethods/{paymentMethodId}")

deleteUserPaymentMethod
@DELETE
@Path("/v2/users/{userId}/paymentMethods/{paymentMethodId}")

Note that the documentation for the new User REST endpoint will be available shortly.

Cart and Checkout endpoint updates

This release provides a V2 of two endpoints:

• Checkout endpoint — In v2, the checkout endpoint sets the address of a cartId to ensure the correct resource is consistently identified. For example, the v1 /checkouts/address/{cartId} becomes in v2 /checkouts/carts/{cartId}/address.

  setAddress
  @PUT
  @Path("/checkouts/cart/{cartId}/address")
  
  setShippingMethod
  @PUT
  @Path("/checkouts/cart/{cartId}/shippingmethod")
  
  createOrder
  @POST
  @Path("/checkouts/cart/{cartId}/order")
  
  getShippingMethods
  @POST
  @Path("/checkouts/cart/{cartId}/shippingmethods")

• Cart endpoint — In v2, cartId is a path parameter instead of form parameter in the REST calls. For example the v1 /carts/items becomes in v2 /carts/{cartId}/items. The other parts of the call are unchanged.

  addItem
  @POST
  @Path("/v2/carts/{cartId}/items")
  
  removeItem
  @DELETE
  @Path("/v2/carts/{cartId}/items/{itemId}")
  
  updateItemQuantity
  @POST
  @Path("/v2/carts/{cartId}/items/{itemId}")

The ecommerce-rest-role has been updated to allow the v2 endpoints.

Note that the documentation for both v2 endpoints will be updated shortly.

Product chooser

This release also improves the sample template provided in the Pages app. Magnolia provides a dialog to select the connection, category and product instead of requiring you to manually enter the connection name, definition name and a product ID. If you only have one connection configured, you choose the category and product directly.

• [ECOMMERCE-310] - Improvements required for SAP (new User endpoint API)

 Note that once Bynder assets are marked as published they cannot be unpublished or made private again in Magnolia.

EXTDAM-62 - Getting issue details... STATUS

External DAM module 1.0.2

Released on November 18, 2020.

This release brings compatibility for Magnolia 6.2.4 and a number of improvements and bug fixes.

Improved handling of large numbers of S3 assets

Magnolia has improved how large numbers (thousands) of assets in a given S3 folder are rendered. 

Magnolia has a specialized method that counts the total number of assets in your S3 system instead of creating the corresponding internal objects. Since S3 only allows batches of 1000 assets to be retrieved in a given call, we iterate as many API calls as necessary to retrieve the assets stored in S3.

For example, Magnolia must make 100 API calls to retrieve 100 000 assets. Depending on your internet bandwidth, cache and other factors, this could take around 1 minute to complete. For better response times, we recommend that you store a maximum of 10 000 assets per S3 bucket.

EXTDAM-170, EXTDAM-138

Configure the maximum search time for S3

You can configure the maximum time the system spends searching for S3 assets to be displayed in the Magnolia interface using a new parameter called maxSearchTimeInMilis under dam-s3/config.yaml.

By default, the maximum search time is 10 seconds (maxSearchTimeInMilis: 10000).

EXTDAM-184

Mime types

If you upload an asset that does not have a suffix, Magnolia now infers the mime type from the binary.

To avoid extra API calls to S3, we recommend you include the suffix whenever possible.

EXTDAM-126
