What's New in This Release

Azure CSP NCE 1.8 brings the following additions and enhancements:

The support of new partner attestation requirements. In January 2022 (the date may change), the new Microsoft requirements for partner attestation take effect. As of this version, the application is compliant with these requirements and allows CloudBlue Commerce customers and resellers to provide the information necessary for partner attestation. When placing orders, customers, providers on behalf of their customers, and resellers on behalf of their customers can provide the necessary information in their control panels (UX1 and v1) and online stores. They can do so by selecting this checkbox: I confirm that my organization is acting as an indirect partner when choosing a reseller and as a direct partner in the absence of selecting a reseller.

Resolved issues:

  • On some installations, a scheduled task called update_month_to_date may consume too many resources. Users experiencing this issue can resolve it by setting the optimizedUpdateMonthToDate: true setting in the configuration file. By default, optimizedUpdateMonthToDate is set to false during the deployment or upgrade.
  • Invoices were not generated for resellers if they had at least one subscription that did not consume any resources during 3 months or more.

Requirements and Prerequisites

  • CloudBlue Commerce 20.4 or later.
  • The Rating Engine 1.0-112 component must be installed and configured. For instructions on how to install and configure it, please refer to this article.
