Second Life Marketplace BETA Releases and Reporting of Issues

This document is a running list of release notes from the most recent Beta Marketplace Releases to [Aditi]. It will be archived periodically. Since the Marketplace is a web product, any deployment will affect all customers immediately. A Beta grid gives you the chance to try out changes before we deploy them.

Please go to [Aditi] to try out any new functionality before it deploys. If you see problems that you believe are related to the current Beta, please let us know about them! Here are the best ways to let us know:

If you would like more details on the Marketplace and how it works, please see the Knowledge Base. If you have questions that other Residents may be able to help you with, please post to the Merchants Forum.

Release Notes for Current BETA Marketplace Release

January 10, 2012

This Beta includes the activated Direct Delivery functionality. Merchants will now be able to list products using Direct Delivery and try out migrating a listing from Magic Box to Direct Delivery (which will require setting up the product in a Magic Box first). Note that the changes in the last Beta have not been released into production yet.

These changes will be in Beta for at least 2-3 weeks before Direct Delivery is release to production (and may be longer than 2-3 weeks, depending upon bug reports/feedback). Note there will not be any production releases between 2/3/2012 and 2/14/2012 (unless there is an urgent bug fix that needs to be made in production.)

Merchant Facing Fixes

  • Direct Delivery is enabled for listing, migration and delivery. Please see the instructions [will be linked] to try this new set of features out. NOTE: Not all functionality is active, so please take a look at these instructions and the Knowledge Base articles for more details.
  • Bulk edit will now check the category box when a new category is set, allowing the save to succeed.

Known Beta Issues

    
  • Listings with an updated date before Sept. 1, 2011 may behave unexpectedly--stick to updating listings with a date after that (which should be most, due to system updates).
  • The web site for Xstreet is not accessible on Aditi; if this becomes blocking, file a JIRA with what you are trying to do and we'll follow up
  • Error reporting on import (Marketplace import failure log)
    • Unassociated Marketplace Items has a limit of 100: hitting this limit will not report in the Import Failure Log.
    • Most imports report success, even if a failure occurred. If you see a case where a failure is incorrectly reported, please file a JIRA. The error log on the Marketplace is in Merchant Admin, under Inventory->Import Failure Log.
  • Managing listings/inventory on the Marketplace
    • Dates are still the wrong value->a fix is in the works to be the date of the import for the inventory item.
    • Permissions abbreviations are not accurate for user selected permissions on listings.
  • Viewer issues
    • In some cases, sending multiple folders to the Marketplace will show an error when some items successfully imported. To view the folders that failed, check out the import failure log.
    • Dragging large number of folders to the Outbox can result in apparent inventory loss. Re-start the viewer to resolve.
    • The Merchant Outbox is not always visible in the viewer right after it has been created. In some cases, a relog will be required to view the newly created Outbox.
  • ANS is not fully functional--we are working on some bug fixes before it will be ready for Beta testing in the next couple of weeks.
  • Limited quantity items (objects the merchant does not have copy rights on) are not yet supported. This feature is currently under development.
