AppServer

Review the new B2C Commerce AppServer features and enhancements in the 20.1 release.

• Get Alerts When Two-Factor Authentication Not Enabled for Code Uploads
  Business Manager now issues alerts if a production instance doesn’t disallow code uploads or a staging instance doesn’t require a client certificate to upload code. For security reasons, we request that customers disallow code uploads to production instances and require a client certificate for code uploads to staging instances. We recommend making these configuration changes as soon as possible and no later than April 1, 2020, when we mandate this configuration.
• Get Ready for the Google Chrome 80 Cookie Change
  Google Chrome 80, scheduled to be released in February 2020, introduces a new default cookie attribute setting of SameSite=Lax. Previously, the SameSite cookie attribute defaulted to SameSite=None. Also new with Chrome 80, when SameSite is set to None, cookies must be tagged with the Secure attribute indicating that they require an encrypted HTTPS connection. Other browser vendors are expected to make similar changes soon. To get ready for the changes, enable the global security preference Enforce HTTPS. Also, test to see if client-side JavaScript code requires adjustments and to make sure that third-party integrations work as expected.
• Custom Object Import/Export Page Displays Correctly
  The Custom Object Import/Export page displays as expected. Previously, if there were custom object import/export records that had been triggered from the same Business Manager module, a Technical Error page displayed. This fix addresses a Release 20.1 regression issue.
• Query Parameters Correctly Returned for Request.getHttpQueryString()
  B2C Commerce Script API dw.system.Request.getHttpQueryString() now correctly returns query parameters that are part of a short URL. Previously, the query parameters were not returned. This fix addresses a Release 20.1 regression issue.
• Exception Not Thrown When Building a To-One Relationship
  Under some rare, specific conditions, exceptions of type ORMMandatoryException: Can't unset mandatory to-1 relationship were thrown if the target object didn't change. This issue has been fixed, eliminating some errors that occur when customers place orders.
