Answer ID 12678   |   Last Review Date 10/30/2024

Can I get more information about recent Chat Service updates?

Environment:

Chat Updates
Oracle B2C Service

Resolution:

Product Development regularly updates services related to the Chat functionality.  The purpose of these updates is to improve the capabilities of the B2C Service Chat and/or to remediate known defects. The update process is designed to cause no impact to your service. Changes are typically first implemented in non-production environments so that you can test the updates and raise a ticket with Support for any unexpected behaviors. Any exceptions to the update process will be announced ahead of time.
 
Several services can affect the Chat Server & Chat functionality. The services described below are single-version services and are not dependent on the Oracle B2C Service version your site is using. There are no actions required on your side to receive these updates. 

 
In order to make chat service updates easy to understand, we are listing related updates in this table.
