Understanding the Hybris Upgrade Response Issue

When upgrading to the latest patch of Hybris 1808, organizations might encounter unexpected changes in how content is structured, especially concerning custom properties in CMS components. This can be particularly troubling for developers and businesses relying on a consistent JSON output. If you’ve noticed that your /pages endpoint is returning different results post-upgrade, you’re not alone. Let's take a closer look at the problem and how to address it effectively.

The Problem Defined

After upgrading to Hybris 1808, users reported that custom properties in CMS components were no longer included directly as part of the JSON response. Instead, they found those properties nested within the otherProperties array, changing how data was structured and potentially disrupting how their storefronts retrieve and utilize that data.

Examples of the Changes

Here’s a look at what the responses looked like before and after the upgrade:

This structural change raises several questions about the implications for system dependencies, especially regarding integrations like Spartacus. Let's break down the concerns one by one.

Key Questions and Answers

1. Was declaring a dependency on the new cmsoccaddon extension the right choice?

Yes, establishing a dependency on the cmsoccaddon extension was indeed the correct action. This step aligns your web services with the updated Hybris functionalities and ensures you leverage the latest features and optimizations introduced by SAP.

2. Does Spartacus support referencing the properties in "otherProperties" transparently?

Currently, Spartacus does not reference the properties nested in the otherProperties array automatically. This means you will need to implement additional handling in your application to extract and utilize these custom properties as intended. Consider using custom services or modifying existing components to access and integrate these properties seamlessly into your storefront.

3. Do we need to adjust customization or configuration in Hybris for custom properties?

If your intention is to revert to the previous structure where custom properties appear directly in the JSON root of the CMS component, you may need to perform custom configurations in Hybris. While not mandatory, this could streamline your integrations and align them with pre-upgrade expectations.

Conclusion

Upgrading to Hybris, particularly the latest patches, can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges, especially around custom configurations and data handling. By understanding the new data structure and taking the necessary steps to adapt your Spartacus storefront, you can mitigate issues and ensure that your CMS components function correctly with minimal disruption.

In summary, stay proactive in managing your dependencies, be prepared to modify your frontend application logic, and consider adjusting your backend configurations if necessary. Keeping your systems aligned post-upgrade is vital for continued efficiency and performance.
