Platform>UPS: Implemented an alternate solution to replace the cookie-based authentication mechanism for Experience Browser |
Accessing Experience Browser menu options like 'Placement Content' or 'Placement Segment' in Incognito Window causes an endless loop of SSO Login. Since the Experience Browser loads on a customer site, the cookies set by the experience server are treated as the third-party cookies by the browser. The user needs to disable or allow the third-party cookies on the browser, to be able to access the Experience Browser menu options in Incognito mode. |

Find: Getting 500 error in Find search term request |
A client was getting 500 error in Find search term request. It looks like the Solr query was being timed out as there was no result found for the entered query, so the spellcheck came into action. Spellcheck is using all spell fields to get spell corrections and the data in the spell field was too large that's why the spellcheck component took more than solr socket timeout and hence, the search service gave timeout exception error. This issue has been fixed now. In the response, the search term will be truncated if it exceeds the max token length and spellcheck param will be passed as false to solr. |
