Important upgrade notice

Warning

The Media cache for dimensions will be recalculated entirely, this can put a lot of pressure on Imaging Servers

Note

Important configuration update on RESTAPI / WXM_RESTAPI

...

The “workdir” parameter of the plugin needs to be updated to “user.home”

In version 2021.3 the Swagger/OAS3 documentation API was moved to the “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).

...

Info

see https://crossmedia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WD/pages/11764307/Appendix1+Configuration#Variables-in-parameter-values

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

...

The user can then select one of the multiple playlist designs offered:

...

Info

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.

https://media.dev-club-wed.wedia-group.com/api/wedia/dam/variation/uickhounhj54mzihuesq5839nw/thumbnailSmall?download=true

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.
