Marketplace REST API v2 may not return all transitions, so we incrementally repoll for transitions.a

Hi Vendor Sales Fans :-)

We have good news for you in these sad days of the pandemic: we have updated this tiny beloved tool in many ways:

• We’ve moved to Marketplace REST API v2, which makes Hosting information (Cloud, DC, Server) available.
• We’ve introduced new aggregation types (By Expert and By Hosting)
• We’ve introduced a new Status column which varies as “Expired”, “Expires soon” (in a month), “Active”.
• We’ve introduced a new permission level: a user group, whose members may view transaction details without pricing information.
• We’ve added a new macro (Vendor sales data browser ) to validate SEN numbers.
• We’ve improved security, vendor account passwords are now encrypted.
• We’ve increased pulling frequency to 5 minutes

Note: You'll need to re-add vendor accounts which will wipe and fetch all data again.

Full Release notes, Documentation

If you like these improvements or the app in general, please give it a rating or review on the Marketplace.

Thank you and stay safe!

New Features

• Added 3 new period types - last year, month, week
• Added new parameter - sortDirection, so newest sales can be shown on top.
• Added Job and button for rebuilding marketplace data from scratch
• Added menu item for the plugin configration page in the confluence administration area
• Added button for manually triggering the "fetch" job in the plugin configuration page

Bug Fixes

• Change currency fields to double in the AO model, so the calculations are correct
• Fixed bug in total sales calculation when there are "refund" records
• Fixed header.vm to properly display sale amount for sales above 100000$
• Fixed UI bug in configuration page
• A few fixes of compiler warnings
• Removed redundant entries from log4j.properties
• Removed pluginDependency (Active Objects)
• Added jvmarg to amps plugin to workaround https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-25973

With the new report types, you can now aggregate your sales data by:

• add-on
• sale type (new, upgrade, renew)
• country

These aggregation types allow you to generate nice pie charts to easily see how your add-ons are performing.

IMPORTANT

This release fixes the problem of not being able to edit the macro parameters in the Macro Editor.

The solution was found here. We had to change the macro name from "Vendor Sales" to lowercase "vendor sales". Crazy.

As a consequence of this, your macros will not work after the upgrade. You must do the following:

• edit the pages where you use this macro
• double click on the "Unknown macro" labels in the editor, this is a placeholder for unknown macros
• the macro editor will open, all parameters are preserved
• simply save the macro, the confluence editor will now recognize the macro and display it correctly
• save the page
• you get back all your reports and content

You only have to perform this once. It is all safe but a bit cumbersome. Sorry for that.

Confluence 5 compatibility release

Major feature enhancements and fixes:

• monthly aggregates are sorted correctly
  
• download of historical data (you may need to remove and add again your existing vendor accounts)
  
• plugin key is stored with sales record

Sales API does not return sales data real time but with some delay (a day?). 

The sales record downloader job now gracefully handles this.
