  • Q2 Portal PPT

4.1 Framework feature

4.1.1 Performance improvement when saving Portal framework using Portal Builder (Jira ID: CP-2520)

Feature Description

When saving a Portal, with more than 800 actors and/or more than 400 actions, the process of saving became prolonged and resulted in APEX timeout issues. This occurred because the Portal was passing all actors and actions to the back-end to re-create the entire Portal Configuration Document.

In Portal Framework version 4.4, only the newly added or modified actors, actions, component structures, and static contents are passed to the back-end to update the Portal Configuration Document upon selecting Save. This enhancement significantly reduces the time in saving the Portal configurations to the back-end.

To enable this functionality, a new flag called dirtyActor is introduced. This flag indicates whether an actor, action, component structure, or static content has been altered or remains unchanged during development. This is then used to pass only the changed configurations to the back-end when the Portal Administrators select Save.

9.1.1 Google Places API Issue (Jira IDs: CP-2628)

Fixed Version

  • Q2 Portal version 4.4.1

Issue Description

When a user enters the address details in Q2 Portal, Q2 Portal uses the Places API provided by Google to auto-complete the address.

To provide better results to users, Google has introduced a new version of the Places API and communicated that the older versions are planned to be deprecated. To ensure that Q2 Portal continues to work after the older versions of the Places API are deprecated, the Places API version in Q2 Portal needs to be updated.

  1. Log in to your Salesforce account.

  2. Open the Configuration Manager application from the App Launcher ().

  3. On the Configuration Manager tab, go to CL Portal > Available Upgrades.
