Commerce Validator Issue Feeding

Commerce related validator issues defined in LcStudioValidatorsConfiguration are now also feeded into the Solr index "studio" by default. Therefore the Content Feeder now also uses Commerce Hub connections to configured Commerce Adapters . The legacy (and deprecated) LiveContext Blueprint extension for IBM/HCL B2B is not supported.

Content Feeder Validator Issues Indexing

The Content Feeder can feed content issues into the Solr index "studio" now, so that it becomes possible to search for content items with issues in the Studio library or using native Solr queries. This feature is enabled by default in 2104.1 and 2104.2, but will be disabled by default in 2104.3+. The feature builds on Solr Nested Document Support and the new Solr schema fields \_root\_ and \_nest\_path\_ for the Content Feeder index, as described in the release note CMS-10950. To use this feature, the mentioned Solr fields must be added, and the studio index must be recreated from scratch. You can disable this feature, if you want to keep an existing index without reindexing. The configuration will be changed in 2104.3+ to be disabled by default, so that the default configuration does not require recreation of existing indexes.

Studio Validation Maven Modules, API and Configuration Changes

The Studio validation framework and all Validator implementations were moved from Studio Server Maven modules to Maven modules of the "shared/middle" workspace. This change is necessary for new functionality in the Content Feeder , which calls validators to index content issues (see release note CMS-18432). As part of this change, some classes, interfaces, and configuration properties were changed.

Feeder Support for Solr Nested Documents

Content Feeder and CAE Feeder support optional indexing of Solr nested documents now. A custom FeedablePopulator implementation can use the new method MutableFeedable#setNestedFeedables to set data for indexing nested documents. For this support, some changes were necessary in the Feeder API and Solr configuration. This change requires manual upgrade steps, but reindexing is only required if Solr nested documents are actually being used.
