Overview

Published: 18.10.2022

Version 2.6.0.0 is a major release of the Netcetera 3DS Server.

For documentation about this release please refer to the documentation site.

Compatibility

This version is NOT backwards compatible with previous versions of the Netcetera 3DS Server.

Important notification

EhCache

According to notification, we are removing support for EhCache. The default cache manager now will be Redis.

Versioning changes

New Versioning V3 model was introduced in 2.5.3.0 version as an improvement in the scheme resolution logic. To provide the maximum flexibility and rational adaptation period to our customers, old versioning models V1 and V2 will remain available until end of year 2022. Old Versioning V1 and V2 model will be deprecated with the upcoming major release 2.7.0.0. Timely switching to the new Versioning model V3 is highly recommended.

Upgrade Notes

This release removes the logic in the transaction migration tool for the migration of the transactions from the transactions_log table to the new transaction data model that was introduced in 2.3.0.0. As the transactions history tables are not used anymore the following application properties have been removed from the Netcetera Admin application:

  • threedss.transaction-logs.scheduled-moving.enabled=
  • threedss.transaction-logs.scheduled-moving.cron=
  • threedss.transaction-logs.scheduled-moving.batch-size=
  • threedss.transaction-logs.scheduled-moving.days-before-moving=
