Retail Integration Bus (RIB)
Injector Service in RIB-EXT becomes Unusable after Patching in v22 or v23
Currently, customer-owned credentials are stored in the WebLogic DB store and due to occasional cryptographic issues, customers are losing credentials. In this release customer-owned credentials have been moved to S3 (Secured Storage Service) so all credentials are in one place, eliminating WebLogic cryptographic issues.
Poison Messages can now be Downloaded and Corrected for Reprocessing by Customers
This change affects a scheduled cron job that pushes the poison messages to Object Store. When the customer downloads, modifies the message, and uploads it back to the OS, it is processed automatically.
Optimized WebLogic Server Memory and Container Memory Settings
An increased memory request was made so that the WebLogic max heap is less than the pod request, not the pod limit (WebLogic max heap< memory request < memory limit).
Environment-Specific Scope for Inbound OAuth2 Calls
In the current release, RICS enforces environment specific Oauth
scope for authorization of inbound web service calls (RIB-EXT). This
is a minor change on the customer’s end to add the specified scope.
The scope pattern that is used in the RICS IDCS app creation template
is rgbu:rics:RICS-<ENVIRONMENT> where ENVIRONMENT is the environment type (STG, PRD, UAT,
DEV1, DEV2, and so on).
For details, refer to the Create OAuth2 Client Application in the IDCS section of the RIB Implementation Guide.
Remove HASVRC Param from Injector calls Outbound from RIB-EXT
The RIB Injector service does not expect any query parameters.
However, the RICS OAuth framework mandates the query parameter of hasVRC, which can cause failures in the RIB-EXT injector
calls. This has been fixed, and the hasVRC parameter
has been removed.
