Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been fixed in this release:

Reference Ticket Affected Service(s) Description
EQPLAT-29400 Order Service, Cart Service Previously, in the B2B store, for multiple items shipment with different addresses on the checkout page was showing an error “The cart services is unable to process your request. Please try again later.”.

Now, the fix is provided, and the user is able to add multiple addresses for multiple items.
EQPLAT-44720 Reference Storefront, Storefront Orchestration Service Previously, when the user accessed the storefront (React) site, the cookie was set for that store by the browser. On switching to another site of a different store, the cookie of this old store is still used. Due to this, the user/session failed due to the different collections.

Now, the fix is provided by updating the older session cookie as x-sk-session-id with the new session cookie’s name with the store ID, i.e., x-sk-session-id-<store_Id>.

The Storefront Orchestration service is honored based on the store it has received. Even, when there are multiple cookies for a different store, the Storefront Orchestration service considers the cookie of the store requested for and processes it further. Due to this, the login flow has been changed: set session, get session, and validate session routes in the Storefront Orchestration service.

A new store-based cookie feature “storeBasesdCookie” has been introduced in the ZooKeeper property. When enabled, all cookies of the backend domain are set as cookieName-[storeid] in the browser, for example, x-sk-session-id-186.
