Product Catalog Commerce Release Notes 3.22

Introduction

This document describes the new features of Product Catalog Commerce (PCC) v3.22:

New Features

• A new tab named PlanSwitchPaths is available in the PPR, where PCC defines whether partial upgrades are allowed or not, based on certain rules. A partial upgrade occurs when only some of the licenses of a basic plan are upgraded to a premium plan. To prevent an expiration date mismatch between the original subscription to a basic plan and the new subscription to a premium plan, upgrades that imply changing to a longer commitment period are not allowed. In the following table you can see some examples:

  Important: This new tab only supported by CloudBlue Commerce 21.9 or higher versions. If you are using a previous version, please remove this tab from the file.

  Original Plan	Target Plan	Partial Upgrade
  MTH commitment basic plan	ANN commitment premium plan	Not allowed
  ANN commitment basic plan	3YR commitment premium plan	Not allowed
