Version 2.0. Release date 26.01.2018

New features

Vendor Portal was implemented as a component of the ActivePlatform ecosystem. Vendor Portal provides any cloud services vendors with the opportunity to offer services through the distribution networks created using ActivePlatform. Vendors can add services by creating and configuring Products in Vendor Portal and choosing distributors who can sell the service. After a Product creation in Vendor Portal, a set of Application Templates, Plans, Plan Classes and Products is generated for all distributors that have been selected during the product configuration. Specially created Vendor Service Plugin is used to establish a connection between Vendor Portal and ActivePlatform. (BBB-5434)
The Customer Store component has been added to the ActivePlatform ecosystem. Customer Store allows the Distributor (Reseller):
- have their own showcase of products;
- automatically synchronize all changes in product information (prices changes, plan periods) that were implemented in ActivePlatform;
- customize store's design;
- customize the product catalog, add categories and subcategories of products;
- broaden the product information, in addition to the product received from Vendor;
- configure incorporated recommender system.
The "Customer Store" section was added to Operator Control Panel in order to manage store content. Integration settings are set in the "Customer Store setting" section of Operator Control Panel. (NNN-4, NNN-5, NNN-6, NNN-7, NNN-8, NNN-9, NNN-10, NNN-46)
Implemented a new approach to service integration into ActivePlatform. The current scheme for creating and integrating plugins was simplified. Now special software development kit (SDK) can be used for plugin creation. The SDK simplifies the platform's interaction with any plugin that is used to integrate a new service. Using the SDK allows you to increase the speed of new plugins development. To improve the quality of development, the process of creating a new plugin is divided into the sequence of steps with a predetermined structure and order of actions. For visualization, the Scenario entity was added to the ActivePlatform, which is available in the "Scenario" section of Operator Control Panel. The scenario page displays the visual structure of the operations within the selected scenario. The scenario page allows you to get information about an action that was executed successfully or which executed with an error. Also, the scenario page contains advanced logging of events. (BBB-5575)
Implemented inheriting, versioning and managing of the notification and UI templates in the OCP. The templates created by Operator (upline Reseller) are automatically delegated to all downline Resellers. Template changes made by Operator (upline Reseller) are automatically applied to the inherited templates if the downline Reseller did not modify the template. Inherited and default templates cannot be deleted.
Implemented the functionality of comparison and managing the template changes (revert, update, compare with the initial version and highlight the changes). (BBB-5044)
Product categories and Products sections were added in Operator Control Panel. A wizard for Product creation was implemented. An option to link Service plan with a Product was added to the Service plan page. Following API methods were implemented: Get Resellers list, Get Reseller by ID, Get Product categories list, Get Products list. (BBB-5734)
Implemented a new approach to billing rules configuration for new and existing services integrated into ActivePlatform. Added the Billing type entity that allows to select one of the existing set of billing rule. In Operator Control Panel, the "Billing type" drop-down list has been added to the Plan class page, using which you can select one of the existing sets of billing rules for the service: "CSP annual", "CSP monthly", "Reservation", "Pay in full", "Pay as you go". (BBB-5010)
