The “workdir” parameter of the plugin needs to be updated to “user.home”
In version 2021.3 the OAS3 file cache (Swagger doc) of the API has been Swagger/OAS3 documentation API was moved to the so-called “working” folder of the API, corresponding to the plugin parameter workdir (see https://crossmedia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WD/pages/11764307/Appendix1+Configuration#Configure-the-plugin).
Unfortunately the default value of this parameter historically refers to the system parameter user.dir which is not accessible from the Tomcat Application on some environments.
The result is that the file cache does not exist (the file couldn’t be written in the that directory), which causes systematic regeneration in loop (and therefore slowness in accessing the doc and increased resource consumption), but also big problems of conflicts during simultaneous access.
The default value has therefore been changed in version 2021.5 to refer to user.home. Since the corresponding directory can be shared between several instances/application runtimes, especially for integration servers that are on the same machine, run by the same user, in order to have a folder specific to each instance, the default value also refers to the site name as a discriminating value.
It is important to pay attention to the value of this parameter, if you are running multiple environments simultaneously on the same machine with the same user without having configured a discriminating site name (I am thinking in particular of development machines), only if you want to use the swagger doc of course.

New dashboards and features on Analytics V2:
Create your own dashboard
To fullfil all the customer needs about analytics, it’s now possible to create your own graphic based on all our data.
...
As you can seen above, you have to define two properties that you want to compare.
Then, a stacked-bar graphic is displayed showing the result. By hovering the bars, you will have details about the exact numbers. You can then refine your analysis by adding filters to this analysis.
List of the others new features :
...
A dashboard about DXM has been added.
...
The value of the parameter has also been removed from the backup, being specific to each environment.
Disable the components necessary for the operation of REST API dynamic ETag on clustered production environments
| Warning |
|---|
caution |
As dynamic ETags cannot work on a clustered environment, it will be necessary to disable the startup of the components used for this type of ETag on these environments (and obviously not to use this type of ETag, as indicated in the documentation), in order to avoid that the error status of these components impacts the global status of the plugin, and thus that of the server.
To do this, set the WXM_RESTAPI plugin parameter dynEtag to false.
As this type of ETag does not work on a clustered environment anyway, it is useless to set it up on the integration configuration, except for testing purposes, so it is preferable to deactivate the mode on the integration and to propagate the configuration during the delivery of the nar to pre-production, then to production.
New Portal features
Share a board using a playlist embed code
It is now possible to share on external websites a board as a playlist, by generating an embed code for a playlist player that can be pasted in a external website :

Copy / Past a link to download the asset
Sometimes, it can be useful to share on a website a single download link to a given variation of a single asset. It is now possible, with a new option in the “download” popup for each asset :
For example, clicking on Copy on this asset :
...
Will return the following URL to your clipboard, which is a link to download the “small” variation of the asset.
If a security rules prevent the asset to be publicly accessed, the link will still be copied, but a warning message will alert the user that the link is not usable right now.
The intended usage would be for example to prepare an external website with assets not yet published, to be published on a specific launch date.
Showing the board owner
When a board is created and shared, it is sometime difficult to track who this board belongs to. The name of the board owner is now displayed in the Portal board detail :
