What's New
CloudView V6R2019x focuses mainly on robustness and performance improvements.
The Dictionary disk format is now more compact. No migration is needed, the new format will be used at the next full compact.
Upgrade notes
For the backend part of CloudView, there are no configuration or data format changes between V6R2018x and V6R2019x.
The cvapps generated with V6R2018x are also compatible with V6R2019x.
Note however that a lot of third parties have been upgraded to latest versions, for example, Jetty 9, spring 5, commons-codec 1.11, commons-io 2.6, etc. These upgrades may affect the compilation and/or runtime of your custom code running inside CloudView.
Some specific behaviors slightly changed compared to V6R2018x and may affect applications. See the "Change of default behaviors" section below.
If you migrate from a version older than V6R2018x, see the specific upgrade notes of previous releases.
If you use the Mashup Builder, some changes might be required. For more information, see the following section.
Mashup Builder
The Highcharts, JQuery and Spring third-party libraries have been updated to their new major versions. It will be useful for users developing custom widgets, for example, to support 3D charts.
These updates may impact custom widgets. The following table lists the typical problems that may occur and the way to handle them:
Library upgrade
Potential issue and solution
Spring framework upgrade from version 4.3.7 to 5.0.5
Apache Tiles upgrade from version 2.2.2 to 3.0.8
You may need to modify some extra JSP tags, especially if you use Tiles v2, whose support has been removed from Spring 5, for Tiles v3.
Jquery framework upgrade from 3.2.1 to 3.3.1.
• The jquery-migrate plugins (v1.4.1, 3.0.0 and 3.0.1) are included in the Mashup Builder to help you to highlight the deprecated methods used in your code.
o If your widget is based on jquery pre-1.9, you will need to include jquery-migrate-1.4.1.min.js to upgrade to post-1.9.
Note: jquery 1.12.3 is also included in the kit (jquery-1.12.3.min.js).
o If your widget is based on jquery post-1.9, you will need to include jquery-migrate-3.0.0.min.js to upgrade to jquery 3.
The assisted process must be performed in two steps. If you choose to do that in one phase (with no include modifications), all the work and fixes will be executed with javascript errors only.
•  
o Finally migrate to jquery-3.3.1 to be synchronized with the latest version.
• All includes can be modified in the Mashup Builder Application > Javascript section.
For more information, see https://jquery.com/download/ and https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate/#readme
Highcharts libraries is now in version 6.1.10.
No major issues were found on standard mashup charts with a standard configuration.
For more information, see https://www.highcharts.com/documentation/changelog
j2ee-urlrewrite upgrade from version 3.2 to 4.0.3
This filter call is commented by default in the web.xml file. It is not used in the standard CloudView configuration.
If you use it to rewrite/redirect any of your content or pages, check that the syntax and behavior of your url rewrite.xml is still correct.
CAUTION: The introduction of jetty 9 changes the way TLDs are managed in the plugins. You should not have anything to do for this change.
If you have mashup plugins, the searchserver will adapt to this new way of dealing with TLDs, by restarting automatically during its first start. 
About migration
As for now, the Mashup configuration does not migrate to the new version. 
If you need to create applications based on the V6R2019x template, you will have to copy it from the new kit to the previous one. For example, to copy the  "template_web" application: 
1. Copy the <DATADIR>/config/360/applications/template_web directory from the V6R2019x kit to the previous one (V6R2018x). 
Don't forget to backup the previous one.
2. Check the <DATADIR>/config/360/ApplicationsList.xml file if these lines are present:
<Application id="template_web">
<contextPath>/web-not-deployed</contextPath>
<description>This is the default template used for every new web application with V6R2019x new features.</description>
<type>web</type>
<warPath>data:///webapps/360-mashup-ui</warPath>
</Application>
3. Apply your configuration.
4. Restart CloudView. 
You are now able to create a new application based on the V6R2019x template in Mashup Builder.
Removed components
In V6R2018x and before, Cloudview was delivered with:
• a Lotus notes connector handling versions 5 to 8.5,
• and another connector (available as a plugin) handling versions >= 8.5 
As pre-8.5 Lotus notes versions are now deprecated by IBM, CloudView V6R2019x no longer includes a Lotus notes connector handling these old versions.
Only the new connector delivered as a plugin is available.
Change of default behaviors
In debug mode, an <exa:stats> node is added in the Mashup API feed output (#20323)
The Push API client exception system has been reworked to avoid throwing UnknownErrorException as much as possible (#28817, #28818)
Wildcard queries are no longer spellchecked (#26706)
Deprecated components
CloudView V6R2019x is the last release supporting SOAP for MAMI calls.
