B2C Commerce

Open Storefront Framework

Ability to list changes to Design Studio Assets

It is now possible to list the changes made within Design Studio using the Open Storefront (OSF) command line (CLI) tool.

The below command lists all changes made to assets by business users and also developers.

yarn list-changed-assets <app-name>.

This command can take the below arguments:

  •  --since <startTimestamp>, if not specified, uses time of last deployment
  •  --until <endTimestamp>, if not specified, uses current time
  • --live, if not specified shows assets changed on previous, otherwise shows assets changed on production

startTimestamp and endTimestamp should be specified in following format ‘YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS’ and in UTC time.

e.g.  yarn list-changed-assets core-commerce-reference-store --since 2023-1-20T12:50:00 –live

Open Storefront Framework Reference Implementation for SSO using SAML 2.0

Oracle Commerce enables you to integrate customer logins on your storefront using an external customer data store or identity management tool.

Open Storefront Framework now provides a reference implementation for Single Sign-On (SSO) using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0, which is an open-standard XML-based data-exchange format.

Reduction of OSF deployment time by optimizing Virus Scanning

With this release, the time needed to deploy an Open Storefront (OSF) application is reduced by optimizing the amount of virus scanning done as part of the deployment.

Prior to this feature, Virus scanning took place when the deployment zip file was uploaded and when creating Design Studio assets in the asset file system, such as locale-specific resource files. With this change, a second virus scan when the Design Studio assets are created is eliminated..

B2C Commerce

Integrations

Bulk Export of Orders

Oracle Commerce allows merchants to export Orders in JSON format. Exported data includes Order properties like Order Id, Creation Date, State etc. along with sub entities like Shipping Groups, Commerce Items, Payment Groups etc.

Support for compressed interactions between Oracle Commerce and Oracle CPQ

The Oracle-provided Server-Side Extension (SSE) for CPQ now uses an updated version of the underlying Oracle CPQ API. The new Oracle CPQ API, in conjunction with the updated SSE code, provides for faster throughput of configurations and layouts by enabling compression of raw CPQ requests.

Date-based delta export from Product Catalog

It is now possible to export changed Catalogs, Collections and Product data from the core catalog based on the property lastModifiedDate.

Catalog and Promotions

Experience and Design

Improved performance in Design Studio for Component and Widget Instances Listing

The following improvements have been made to Design Studio:

  • Merchant Administrators using Design Studio will see improved performance when navigating through the Components tab. Performance of Widget Instances Listing on the Component details page has also been improved.
  • Pagination and Search functionality has been added for Widget instances on the Widget Instances popup which is shown when adding a widget to a Layout.
  • On the Component details page for Storefront Classic application widgets, Merchants can filter widget instances and extended Java scripts.

Server-Side Extensions

Improvements to Server Side Extension Server Restart Operation

Merchants can now track the progress of the Server Side Extension (SSE) server restart operation and can optionally choose not to restart SSE server when uploading or deletion extensions.

Preview for Server Side Extensions

Oracle Commerce now supports a preview environment and release process for Server Side Extensions (SSE).

Once enabled, SSE Upload and Delete operations can be performed only on the preview environment. The changes can then be promoted to live environment after completing the necessary validations. 

Note that this feature is disabled by default.
