Magento Commerce (Cloud) 2.1.3 and 2.0.11 Release Notes

These Release Notes provide up-to-date information about changes, additions, and fixes to the Magento Enterprise Cloud Edition for versions 2.1.3 and 2.0.11.

Changes in this release

Required update to .magento.app.yaml

Before you upgrade to version 2.1.3 or 2.0.11, you must add a rule to the web section of your .magento.app.yaml file. You must make the change in your local system, push it to your integration environment, then, after upgrading, push the changes to the staging and production environments. See Magento Commerce Cloud architecture.

Get started

To get started:
  1. Log in to your local development system, or switch to, the Magento file system owner.
  2. Change to a directory to which the Magento file system owner has write access.

  3. Enter the following command in a terminal to log in to your project:

    1

    magento-cloud login

  4. List your projects. With the project ID, you can complete additional commands.

    1

    magento-cloud project:list

  5. If necessary, clone the project to your local. You should have cloned when setting up your local development workspace.

    1

    magento-cloud project:get <project ID>
  6. Change to a project directory. For example, cd /var/www/html/magento2

  7. List environments in the project. Every environment includes an active Git branch of your code, database, environment variables, configurations, and services.

    1

    magento-cloud environment:list
    magento-cloud environment:list—displays environment hierarchies whereas the git branch command does not.

  8. Fetch origin branches to get the latest code:

    1

    git fetch origin

  9. Check out, or switch to, a specific branch and environment. Git commands only checkout the Git branch. The Magento Cloud command also switches to the active environment.

    1

    magento-cloud environment:checkout <environment ID>

    To create a new environment, use magento-cloud environment:branch <environment name> <parent environment ID>

  10. Pull any updated code to your local for the environment ID (which is the Git branch):

    1

    git pull origin <environment ID>

  11. Create a snapshot of the environment as a backup:

    1

    magento-cloud snapshot:create -e <environment ID>

Update .magento.app.yaml

To update `.magento.app.yaml`:
  1. Open <Magento root dir>/.magento.app.yaml in a text editor.
  2. Locate the web: section, and the /static location in it.

  3. Add the following to the rules: clause:

    1
2

    ^/static/version\d+/(?<resource>.*)$:
     passthru: "/static/$resource"

    The /static location should look like this after the change:

    1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

    "/static":
    root: "pub/static"
    allow: true
    scripts: false
    passthru: "/front-static.php"
    rules:
        ^/static/version\d+/(?<resource>.*)$:
            passthru: "/static/$resource"
  4. Save your changes to .magento.app.yaml and exit the text editor.
  5. You may now upgrade to version 2.1.3 or 2.0.11.

Update your Elasticsearch configuration

This section discusses how to update your integration system to replace Solr with Elasticsearch. Currently, all Magento Enterprise Cloud Edition upgrades to 2.1.3 must perform these tasks.

Elasticsearch is supported by Magento Cloud Enterprise Edition 2.1.x only.

If you installed Magento Enterprise Cloud Edition 2.1.3 for the first time, you do not need to do this because Elasticsearch is already the default search engine.

To use Elasticsearch on a staging or production system, open a Support ticket and request Elasticsearch.

After installing Elasticsearch, you must do a full index of your fulltext index. This process can take a while if the index is large. The search functionality is unavailable until the process completes.

To use Elasticsearch, you must perform all the tasks discussed in this section.

Get started

To get started:
  1. Log in to your local development system, or switch to, the Magento file system owner.
  2. Change to a directory to which the Magento file system owner has write access.

  3. Enter the following command in a terminal to log in to your project:

    1

    magento-cloud login

  4. List your projects. With the project ID, you can complete additional commands.

    1

    magento-cloud project:list

  5. If necessary, clone the project to your local. You should have cloned when setting up your local development workspace.

    1

    magento-cloud project:get <project ID>
  6. Change to a project directory. For example, cd /var/www/html/magento2

  7. List environments in the project. Every environment includes an active Git branch of your code, database, environment variables, configurations, and services.

    1

    magento-cloud environment:list
    magento-cloud environment:list—displays environment hierarchies whereas the git branch command does not.

  8. Fetch origin branches to get the latest code:

    1

    git fetch origin

  9. Check out, or switch to, a specific branch and environment. Git commands only checkout the Git branch. The Magento Cloud command also switches to the active environment.

    1

    magento-cloud environment:checkout <environment ID>

    To create a new environment, use magento-cloud environment:branch <environment name> <parent environment ID>

  10. Pull any updated code to your local for the environment ID (which is the Git branch):

    1

    git pull origin <environment ID>

  11. Create a snapshot of the environment as a backup:

    1

    magento-cloud snapshot:create -e <environment ID>

Step 1: Update .magento.app.yaml

To update .magento.app.yaml:

  1. Open .magento.app.yaml in a text editor.

    It’s located in your Magento Enterprise Cloud Edition project root directory.

  2. In the relationships: section, delete solr: "solr:solr" if it exists.

  3. Add elasticsearch: "elasticsearch:elasticsearch"

    A sample follows:

    1
2
3
4

    relationships:
   database: "mysql:mysql"
   elasticsearch: "elasticsearch:elasticsearch"
   redis: "redis:redis"
  4. Save your changes to .magento.app.yaml and exit the text editor.

Step 2: Update .magento/services.yaml

To update .magento/services.yaml:
  1. Open .magento/services.yaml in a text editor.
  2. Remove the entire solr: section.

  3. Add a new elasticsearch: section with the following contents:

    1
2
3

    elasticsearch:
   type: elasticsearch:<version>
   disk: 1024
  4. Save your changes to .magento/services.yaml and exit the text editor.

Step 3: Push the changes and redeploy the environment

To push the changes:

  1. Add, commit, and push the changes:

    1
2

    git add -A && git commit -m "Add Elasticsearch"
git push origin <branch name>

  2. Wait for the project to deploy.

Step 4: Get Elasticsearch connection information

This section discusses how to get connection information for Elasticsearch so you can configure the Magento application to use it as your search engine.

To get Elasticsearch connection information:

  1. Open an SSH tunnel to your integration environment.

    1

    magento-cloud environment:ssh

  2. Enter the following command to get Elasticsearch connection details:

    1

    echo $MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIPS | base64 -d | json_pp

    A sample follows:

    1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

     "elasticsearch" : [
   {
      "host" : "elasticsearch.internal",
      "ip" : "250.0.97.96",
      "scheme" : "http",
      "port" : "9200"
   }
],
  3. Write down the connection information.
  4. Enter exit to close the SSH tunnel.

  5. Log in to the Magento Admin as an administrator.

    To view the Magento Admin connection details, enter the following commands:

    1
2

    magento-cloud environment:url
magento-cloud variable:list

    These two commands provide you with the environment’s base URL and Admin login information, respectively.

    An example follows:

    1
2
