Oracle Cloud Oracle Digital Assistant Known Issues, Release 24.06

Bots Node SDK: Doesn't Work with Recent Node Versions

The Bots Node SDK doesn't work on Windows if the Node installation is version 20.12.2 or higher because of a backward-incompatible change in Node.js. If you have Node version 20.12.2 or higher, you need to uninstall it and then install an earlier version for the Bots Node SDK to work.

iOS SDK: Device Rotation Issue

Changes to the iOS 16x device rotation APIs have caused the SDK's rendering logic to break when users switch between the landscape and portrait orientations. This issue will be fixed in upcoming SDK releases.

Errata in the REST Reference for the Resource Bundles API

For the POST /bots/{botId}/bundles API, the reference says that the filterBy query parameter for the Bundles GET request is required, but it isn't.

For the POST and

PATCH
                    /api/v1/bots/{botId}/bundles

API, the 200 and 400 response schemas in the reference don't match the actual output, which, for example, look like this:

200 Example Response:

{
    {
        "createdOn": "2022-01-20T01:03:08.626Z",
        "updatedOn": "2022-01-20T01:03:08.626Z",
        "id": "F3F728FF-DDDD-439F-892E-39B720E73DE9",
        "trackingId": "F3F728FF-DDDD-439F-892E-39B720E73DE9",
        "message": "Ola",
        "languageTag": "es",
        "key": "greeting",
        "annotation": "Initial greeting in Spanish",
        "extensionType": null
    }
}

400 Example Response:

{
    "invalidEntries": [
        {
            "createdOn": null,
            "updatedOn": null,
            "id": null,
            "trackingId": null,
            "message": "Buenos dias",
            "languageTag": "es",
            "key": "greeting",
            "annotation": "Initial greeting in Spanish",
            "extensionType": null
        }
    ],
    "detail": "The skill already has a resource bundle message with this key and languageTag combination."
}

For the GET /api/v1/bots/{botId}/bundles API, the 200 response schema in the reference doesn't match the actual output, which, for example, looks like this:

{
    "items": [
        {
            "key": "greeting",
            "languages": {
                "default": {
                    "id": "5A1D972C-AA13-4756-9BC4-8F3EDDE225BA",
                    "message": "Hello",

                    "trackingId": "5A1D972C-AA13-4756-9BC4-8F3EDDE225BA",
                    "annotation": ""
                }
            },
            "extensionType": null
        }
    ],
    "count": 1,
    "offset": 0,
    "limit": 100,
    "hasMore": false,
    "links": [

            "rel": "self",
            "href": "https://example.domain.com/api/v1/bots/5C7B40FD-E2F1-4DB9-BE15-271B1E968EE5/bundles?filterBy=user"
        },
        {
            "rel": "canonical",
            "href": "https://example.domain.com/api/v1/bots/5C7B40FD-E2F1-4DB9-BE15-271B1E968EE5/bundles?filterBy=user"
        }
    ]
}

Webview Form Does Not Appear After Versioning or Cloning

After creating a new version or clone of a skill, the webview may not work in the new version.

To workaround this problem, open the service the webview, export its TGZ file, delete the service, and create a new webview service (using the same name as the one you deleted), and import the TGZ file into the new service.

DA-Level Conversations Report Displays Only the First Message

The digital assistant-level Conversations report always displays the first message of the conversation in real time, but sometimes it won't immediately display all of the messages for incomplete conversations. The report will include these messages after the nightly refresh of the database.

This is the expected behavior, as the Conversations report displays conversations in their entirety only when a terminal state (such as System.EndSession, System.ExpiredSession, or System.DefaultErrorHandler) has been reached, or after a certain number of messages have been received.

Behavior Differences in Similar Versions of Skills

If you create a new version or clone of a skill and retrain it, there could be slight behavioral differences with the base skill, even if you haven't changed the skill content or changed its platform version. This is because of ongoing security improvements in the platform. Therefore, you should retest any new versions, clones, and extensions of skills, even if you haven't made significant changes.

Note:

The behavior of published skills do not change over time for this reason. Any new platform security improvements are only incorporated when you train the skill.

Requests to the List Export API Fail on IAM Instances

Because of a JAR upgrade introduced in Release 21.08, requests to the List Export Tasks API (/api/v1/bots/insights/dataExports) from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) instances fail with a 401 (Unauthorized) error when the order parameter has not been URL-encoded and is set with either the ASC or DESC sorting options (e.g., order=NAME:ASC). Only requests where the order parameter has been encoded (e.g., order=NAME%3AASC) will succeed.

Validation Warning in Dialog Flow of New Skill Version

After creating a new version of a skill and validating the skill's dialog flow, the following warning may appear:

The field with the name [ metadata ] has been deprecated. Please remove the field from the flow.

This does not indicate any problem with the skill. Simply, the metadata field in the first line of the dialog flow (as well as platformVersion in the second line) are no longer needed. The skill will behave as it did before, with or without those lines. To make the warning disappear, simply delete the two lines.

Can't Import, Clone, or Version Skill Because of Invalid State Name

Starting with Release 20.08 of Oracle Digital Assistant, it is no longer possible to create, import, version, or clone a version of a skill that has dialog flow state names that have certain naming patterns. Now state names must begin with a letter, must be 100 characters or shorter, must not begin with System., and must not have trailing spaces. Otherwise, the state name can contain alphanumeric characters, periods, underscores, hyphens, and spaces.

If you need to import a skill with state names that don't follow these requirements, first manually change its state names. To do so, unpack the skill's zip file, expand the dialog folder and open the .yaml file that it contains in a text editor, edit the state names, and then repackage the skill. When repackaging the skill, be sure that the dialog folder, bot.json, etc. remain at the root level of the zip (i.e. don't include the folder that contains them in the repackaged zip).

Do Not Create Intents in the Retrainer Report

Do not use the Retainer's Add Intent function (denoted by the + icon directly beneath the Add To drop down) to create new intents. New intents should only be created on the skill's Intents () page. You can still use the Retrainer to match user input to the skill's existing transactional and answer intents.

Authentication Fails in Voice-Enabled Web App Based on Web SDK v. 20.5.1

If you have a voice-enabled web app that is based on version 20.5.1 of the Oracle Native Web SDK and that points to a bot that requires client authentication, authentication will fail. This is due to an incompatibility between the version 20.06 of the Oracle Digital Assistant runtime and version 20.5.1 of the SDK.

To fix this problem, update your app to use version 20.6.1 or later of the Oracle Native Web SDK.

Exporting of Insights Fails Part Way Through

When doing large exports of Insights data, the export sometimes breaks off part way through, particularly if there is more than 1 GB of data in the export.

Workarounds:

Log in to the instance using Mozilla Firefox as your browser and then try exporting again.
Periodically check how much Insights data you have stored and export it before you have reached 1 GB of stored data. See Monitor Insights Data Storage Capacity.

Authenticated User ID for Application-Initiated Conversation Returned in Lower Case

If you have set up a skill to initiate a conversation with a user via the application-initiated conversations feature and the skill requires users to authenticate with Oracle Identity Cloud Service, the authenticated user ID is returned in all lower case, even if the user ID has upper case characters. Therefore, when invoking the application-initiated conversation, the message payload should supply the user IDs in all lower case.

Upload of Custom Component Package Fails Because of Nested TGZ Files

The cause of this might be that the package has gotten too large to upload because it contains nested .tgz files for each time you have run bots-node-sdk pack.

If you run into this problem, make sure that there is an .npmignore file in the root of the custom component package. (This file is created when you first create the custom component package using the SDK.) That file should contain these entries:

*.tgz
spec
service-*

The presence of the .npmignore file with those contents will ensure that the previous version of the .tgz file won't be included when you update the package.

Upload to Embedded Component Service Results in Failed to fetch custom component metadata, error response: 504

The typical cause for this error is that your component folders contain non-component files. The directories that you name in the components array in the main JavaScript file should point to directories that contain only component files. This includes files in any subdirectories.

Say, for example, that the main JavaScript file sets the components array like the following code example. This statement tells the component service upload process to look in the components directory structure for the custom component definitions. The server will look at every file in the directory structure and try to process each one as a custom component. If there are files in that directory structure that aren't custom components, the upload process fails because it can't parse the file as a custom component.

module.exports = {
   components: [
     './components'
   ]
 };

If you get this error, create a separate folder, such as helpers, in the same folder that main.js is in. Then move the non-component files into it, and modify your code accordingly.

Custom Component Service Creation Fails or Import of Skill with Custom Component Service Fails

Oracle Digital Assistant limits the number of custom component services per instance. You won't be able to do any of the following once you have the maximum of custom component services:

Add a custom component service.
Version or clone a skill that has a custom component service.
Import a skill that has a custom component service.

To see the component service limit, look up embedded-custom-component-service-count on the service limits page in the Infrastructure Console. If you need to raise the limit, you can request an increase. For more information, see View Service Limits in the Infrastructure Console and Requesting a Service Limit Increase.

Invalid Component Path Error When Uploading Package to Custom Component Embedded Service

If you get an invalid component path error when you upload a package to an embedded custom component service, the cause is typically one of the following conditions:

One of the files contains invalid JavaScript. When this happens, open your JavaScript files in an editor that highlights syntax errors to find the cause.
Your package doesn't contain the node modules that the JavaScript depends on. The inclusion of dependencies is required in version 19.4.1 and later. Check your package.json file to insure that all node module dependencies are listed. If not, enter the following commands from a terminal window. Repeat the second command for each node module that your JavaScript depends on (except for bots-node-sdk):
```
$ cd <folder that contains package.json>
$ npm install <module>
```
The second command adds the module to the node_modules folder and adds it as a dependency in package.json.

When you package your JavaScript for uploading to an embedded service, always use this command from Oracle Bots Node SDK version 2.2.2 or higher.
```
bots-node-sdk pack
```
This command adds all the node modules that are in the dependents section of package.json to the bundledDependencies section, and includes the node modules in the TGZ file.

If you export a skill from a previous version, and the skill uses embedded custom components, you will most likely get an error when you use the skill because the component service's package doesn't contain the dependencies. If this happens, download the TGZ file from the custom component service page, unpack the TGZ file, add the node module dependencies as described above, and re-import the package.

For more information, see Prepare the Package for an Embedded Container Service in Using Oracle Digital Assistant

Note:

When an instance is upgraded to 19.4.1, the dependencies are added automatically to the custom component packages as part of the upgrade.

Insights Retrainer: UI Remains Inactive After Selecting the Draft Version of Skill

While the Retrainer options for published skills are inactive by design, they can sometimes remain inactive even after you've selected a draft version of a skill. If this happens, select the draft version of the skill a second time. The options will then become available, allowing you to update the draft version with new training data.

Oracle Web SDK: initUserHiddenMessage Prevents the Skill's First Response from Being Read Aloud

On some browsers, the skill's first response to the user can't be read aloud when the SDK is initialized to send the hidden message (initUserHiddenMessage: 'Hi', for example) when the widget is in expanded mode when the page is loaded (openChatOnLoad: true).

Because the first audio response from the skill requires an invocation from a user action, this issue may not occur all of the time. For example, the skill's first response would be read aloud if the user interacts with the widget in some way before the hidden message has been sent (a click, a touch, or a keyboard action, for example), or when the host app makes a call to the Web Speech API before the widget has been initialized. To enable this call, add a one-time one-time event listener for the page. For example:

const firstInteractionMockUtterance = () => {
    if ('speechSynthesis' in window) {
        speechSynthesis.cancel();
        speechSynthesis.resume();
        speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(''));
    }
};
document.body.addEventListener('click', firstInteractionMockUtterance, { once: true });

File Uploads in Web Channel Fail

In web channels, file uploads from the host site may fail and throw a console error similar to the following:

https://<oda-instance>/chat/v1/attachments from origin <client site> 
has been blocked by CORS policy: No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is present 
on the requested resource

This is because the host site's CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) settings, which block all cross-origin HTTP requests, may also block upload requests from the client instance to the Oracle Digital Assistant attachment server.

If you run into this problem, update the host site's security policy to allow the domain for the Digital Assistant instance.

Note: Because the conversation uses WebSocket connections, CORS does not impact the conversation.

Ensure that You're Integrating with a Compatible Oracle Service Cloud Version

Digital Assistant agent-transfer integration is only compatible with Versions 18C and higher of Oracle Fusion Cloud B2C Service. The chat window will not render in the Oracle Fusion Cloud B2C Service console when you integrate your skill with versions previous to 18C.

Digital Assistant digital-assistant-agent integration is only compatible with Versions 19C and higher of Oracle Fusion Cloud B2C Service.

Export of Q&A CSV File Fails Without Categories

Though the Categories field is optional when adding questions through the Q&A framework, you need to add a category for each Q&A item if you want to export the data source file as a CSV. If you haven't included categories for questions, add them using the Edit Question dialog, then export the data source.

clientId/clientSecret and retentionPeriod Intermittently Display Incorrect Values

The clientId/clientSecret and retentionPeriod can intermittently display incorrect values when they are updated. This happens when more than one developer is working on the same skill at the same time.

To avoid this, ensure that only one developer works on a skill at any one time.
