Sunbird Knowlg	R5.6.0	12 July 2023

Important note to the adopters:

As part of this release, we have made two changes which are important to know everyone.

1. As part of the Knowlg Platform upgrade, the Scala version has been updated from 2.11 to 2.12. This upgrade encompasses changes in the Graph engine as well.

2. We have migrated all taxonomy APIs from the learning-service to the taxonomy-service and eliminated the corresponding code from the learning-service. Our plan is to completely decommission the learning-service in the upcoming release, pending confirmation that no APIs are being served from the learning-service.

Following are the Planned Tickets of R 5.6.0

NOTE:

Below jenkins configurations are specifically for Content Service.

Jenkins Configurations for CSP support:

Set the variables CLOUD_STORE_GROUP_ID, CLOUD_STORE_ARTIFACT_ID and CLOUD_STORE_VERSION with appropriate values in Jenkins, either at the global level or for each individual service in the build job's configuration. For above-mentioned build jobs, configure like as we mentioned below.

Configure the following values:

CLOUD_STORE_GROUP_ID	org.sunbird	Set the cloud storage SDK group_id ex: org.sunbird
CLOUD_STORE_ARTIFACT_ID	cloud-store-sdk_2.12	Set the cloud storage artefact id ex: cloud-store-sdk_2.12
CLOUD_STORE_VERSION	1.4.6	Set the cloud storage version ex: 1.4.6

Collection Editor Web Component:

Tag: v1.6.0

Install: npm i @project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor-web-component@1.6.0

URL: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor-web-component/v/1.6.0

Collection Editor:

Tag: v5.6.1

Install: npm i @project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor@5.4.9

URL: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor/v/5.6.1

Configuration/Environment variable changes:

Knowledge-mw-service:

To provide the taxonomy service URL in the Knowledge Middleware (Knowlg MW) service, you can add the following environment variable:

Variable name: sunbird_taxonomy_service_api_base_url

Value: [http://taxonomy-service:9000]

Make sure to replace [http://taxonomy-service:9000] with the actual URL of the taxonomy service. By setting this environment variable, the Knowlg MW service will be able to connect to the taxonomy service using the specified URL.

Knowledge-platform -> Taxonomy Service:

Add the below env variables in taxonomy-service_application.conf

1. framework.keyspace="{{ lp_cassandra_keyspace_prefix }}_hierarchy_store"

2. framework.hierarchy.table="framework_hierarchy"

3. framework.categories_cached=["subject", "medium", "gradeLevel", "board"]

4. framework.cache.ttl=86400 framework.cache.read=true

5. framework.max_term_creation_limit=200

NOTE: In the previous configuration, these settings were included in the sunbird-learning-service. However, for this release, we have transferred all framework APIs to the taxonomy-service. Therefore, you will need to add the above configuration as part of the taxonomy-service_application.conf file.

Deprecations and Removals:

As part of this release, we have deprecated the below list of APIs.

S.No	API
1	/framework/v3/list
2	/framework/v3/term/search
3	/framework/v3/category/search
4	/framework/v3/category/master/search

Breaking changes (The existing features will break the if we don’t do the below actions):

During the upgrade to version 5.6.0, it is essential to ensure that the mentioned services and environments are properly updated. Previously, the APIs mentioned were part of the sunbird-learning-service, but now they have been moved to the content-service & taxonomy-service without altering the API contract. Additionally, changes have been made to ensure that these APIs are no longer served from the sunbird-learning-service.

Therefore, it is crucial to verify that the necessary updates are implemented correctly for a smooth transition to version 5.6.0.
