    hybris Platform

    Platform / Core Functionality

    Application servers supported

    The hybris Platform comes pre-bundled and pre-configured with the Apache Tomcatapplication server as the default application server for testing and development.Alternatively, you can run the hybris solutions on VMWares SpringSource tcServer, alightweight Tomcat-based server with professional enterprise support that includes severalinfrastructure monitoring functions.

    Databases supportedThe hybris Platform supports the Microsoft SQL as well as open source MySQL and Oracledatabases.

    Rapid Business Objects (RBO)

    Easily extend and adapt your hybris solution to keep pace with changes in your businessmodel or with updated requirements. You can create a wide variety of objects without codingor having to work directly in the database tables. hybris enables you to set up object typeson demand and create relationships between them; the system generates the codeautomatically.

    Cache The hybris Platform caches business objects automatically up to a certain number of entriesto speed processing.

    Search functionalityThe hybris Platform provides a range of search capabilities including: powerful index search,fault-tolerant search (phonetic similarity, parts of words), attribute-based search, and theability to search for products from multiple catalogues in different languages.

    User rights and role management

    User rights and roles enforce access restrictions in the hybris back end. The hybris Platformenables you to manage role-based access rights and views. You can restrict visibility of andadjust rights based on business objects types and related attributes. You can control usersability to read, copy, write, or delete items and you can set access restrictions for multiplelanguages.

    MultithreadingMultithreading enables you to use as many server cores as needed to speed dataimport/synchronization. You can configure the number of threads separately for each job to

    optimize performance of the job while minimizing impact on your websites.

    ServiceLayer API

    hybris ServiceLayerprovides a service- and interface-oriented software architecture thatadheres to modern software development paradigms. Based on the Spring framework,business logic is implemented in fine-grained components which support convention overconfiguration and dependency injection and which use mockable components.

    Developers will need less ramp-up time. Additionally, they can test easier and quicker whichleads to a shorter development cycles and better software quality. Furthermore partners caneasily customize, extend or replace to match the requirements of a specific project and tointegrate in a multichannel environment.

    The ServiceLayer also includes full class resolving and value handling, a Spring driven filterchain architecture, where each hybris init feature can be easily added, removed andconfigured as well as a standard solution for ensuring synchronization when using morethan one staged-online catalog with connected data. This feature makes synchronizationjobs being aware of each other to ensure that online catalog items are being linked correctly.

    WebService API

    Web services allow software components to interact with each other across a network andenable the hybris Commerce Suite to better abstract logic into business-level services andprovide services to clients written in any language. This enables the hybris Commerce Suiteto interact with clients written in C, .NET, or PHP. You can easily secure exposed resourcesby assigning fine-grained access rights using hybris security.

    VirtualJDBC APIhybris VirtualJDBC enables you to query the hybris database using a virtual JDBCconnection from outside the network. This means you can generate reports externally withBIRT, Jaspersoft, Excel, and OpenOffice, for example.

    Multi-tenant infrastructurehybris allows you to manage any number of tenants on one platform. The platform offersunlimited scalability and includes autonomous client layout options as well as multi-store andstore-in-store models.

    Cockpit Framework

    hybris Cockpit Framework enables easy customization of existing cockpits and serves asthe basis for rapid development of additional cockpits. Cockpits can be configured tocustomer needs and facilitate adaptable views. Own configurations can be stored duringruntime.

    Validation hybris Validation enables you to validate data based on a set of user-specified constraints.You can create, configure, and save validation constraints at run-time via the new

    Administration Console.

    Spring Integration

    Spring Integration is a comprehensive, non-invasive framework that is adaptable for a widevariety of data transfer protocols and is based on a message-driven architecture that makesit easier to decouple components. This allows hybris to easily communicate with externalsystems. It supports the required data transport protocol (SOAP, CSV files, SQL, etc.) andconverts information to and from the required data format (XML, text, etc.).

    Multichannel Cockpit

    The hybris Multichannel Cockpit (MCC) is a central, customizable home page for quicknavigation organized by platform, content, commerce, and channel. The simple data modelcan be easily customized and uses widgets to display four areas of the cockpit. The hybris

    MCC supports single sign-on.

    SchedulingWith scheduled CronJobs you can perform tasks on a regular basis, e.g. export order dataevery night at 1 a.m. With task scheduling you can queue tasks so they are not executed allat the same time, e.g. sending e-mails. You do this in order to take load off of the server.

    dynaTrace Integration (requires hybris 4.5 Acceleratorstorefront)

    The basic dynaTrace integration allows users to monitor their system through preconfigureddashboards that will be available either in the dynaTrace client or web service. The followingdashboards are available:

    The System Utilization dashboard shows shows vital information about connected JavaVirtual Machines like memory usage and garbage collection times as well as CPU usageand thread count. Also shown is the database execution time and the number ofdatabase statements that are executed.

    The Page Categories dashboard allows you to view the server response time andservice level for different page categories. There are three categories monitored

    independently: Category A pages are landing pages like the home page, Category Bpages are product searches and details, Category C pages are transactions for ordermanagement, checkout or account management.

    The Single Transaction Performance dashboard lists the status and server responsetimes for the most important transactions: Home Page, User Logins, Product Search andOrder Confirmation.

    The Search Transaction Performance dashboard displays the number of searches andthe overall server response time for the search transaction. Also shown is the servicelevel and the contribution of different application layers to the search transaction.

    The Business Impact dashboard links performance and health of the order confirmationtransaction directly to generated revenue. It shows live how many orders are confirmedand what revenue is being generated by these orders. In a healthy environment theperformance of the confirmation transaction should not have an impact on revenue.

    The Searches and Orders dashboard gives a detailed live view on what search termscustomers where using while browsing your website. You will also see how many searchresults were returned. You can use this data to either tune your search or for positioning

    most wanted products more present on your website. Additionally you will get detailedinformation which products were ordered and what the top ordered products andmanufacturers are.

    The Transaction Error dashboard displays a summary of transaction errors for alltransactions and the error rate.The Error Breakdown will show you detailed informationwhich errors, exceptions or important logs occurred and how many transactions wereaffected.

    Omni Commerce Connect

    Omni Commerce Connect (OCC) is based on RESTful WebServices. To maximize thelist of potential API clients, OCC supports both XML and JSON representations.Additional built-in features include ETag-based caching and easy authentication viaHTTP Basic Authentication secured via HTTPS.

    hybris templating mechanism called 'extgen' enables partners to get full access to thesource code. This allows them to easily extend the WebServices. The technicalrealization is based on Spring MVC and uses the XStream open source objectserialization system to convert to and from JSON and XML representations of the Data

    Transfer Objects.The following key commerce functionality is exposed to API clients:

    Catalog data Search & navigation Customer Management Product information Cart and Checkout functionality Orders

    OCC also gives access to important context information that is often required to realizevarious clients: supported store languages, currencies, delivery countries, supportedcredit card types and customer registration titles.

    Cluster Module

    High availability and system stability

    The hybris clustering software is installed on several different server nodes, thereby

    distributing the load and avoiding single points of failure. If a hardware or software failuredoes occur, an alternative server node is ready to take over requests without users everbeing aware of the problem. System will be set to dynamically switch enquiries to anothernode, without losing users session information (session failover).

    Load balancinghybris Cluster Module enables load distribution on multiple servers, which results from aredundant, central instance. Environments with high requirements on computer power willbe able to add additional low-cost standard computers instead of upgrading expensive

    special computers. Customers will be able to add and remove new server nodes on the fly.Furthermore, they can migrate to new releases during live cluster operation.

    Transparent applicationhybris clustering is completely transparent for both users and programmers and offers theflexibility to build a fail-proof infrastructure from the low-priced active-passive clusteringoption up to the active-active clustering option with replicated user sessions.

    Cloud compatibility

    The hybris Cluster Module enables you to run the hybris Commerce Suite in a cloudenvironment such as Amazon EC2. Clustering can be based on transfer protocols such asTCP (transmission control protocol applicable for the cloud) or UDP (user datagramprotocol).

    Advanced Cluster Module

    Full Session Failover with Oracle Coherence

    hybris Advanced Cluster Module requires Oracle Coherence Standard Edition that providesa complete session failover for your frontend web application. Sessions are copied ontoseveral nodes so that if one node goes down no customer session will be lost.

    Summarized features:

    Dynamic partitioning of cached dataAutomatic recovery in the event of server failureParallel queries of data through the use of filtersGrid based transaction processing for increased throughputEvent processing allowing real time filtering of events and processing of eventsWrite-behind caching for bundling writes to back end data sources

    High Performance Module

    Multi-level caching

    hybris offers transparent caching, which happens automatically. High-performance cachinghas been extensively tested on high-load systems and includes query caching and theoption for dynamic page caching. The cache is be invalidated in clusters with the use ofhybris Cluster Module, enabling communication between nodes to ensure that each nodeknows which changes have been made in the other nodes.

    Unlimited cache capacity The number of business objects and search queries that can be stored in the cache isunlimited, surpassing the platform caching capabilities. Frequently requested data orcontent will be cached and, therefore, quickly accessed.

    Security Module

    Spring securitySpring security provides advanced authentication, authorization and other security features

    to define users identity and limit access to a secured resource.

    Advanced user rights and roles

    Varying degrees of access and responsibility can be assigned to different roles (e.g.administrators, editorial staff, product managers, and reviewers). Differentiated accessrights enable certain users to create new content while others can review existing contentwithout being able to create or delete.

    Advanced Security Module

    Data protectionhybris security includes transparent attribute encryption to secure data from externalaccess as required for compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data SecurityStandard). You can encrypt the data when configuring the RBO.

    Rolling key exchangeKeys can be managed via the hybris management console and can be frequentlyexchanged without downtime.

    Reporting Module

    Jaspersoft report integration

    hybris integrates with Jaspersoft, enabling the creation of customized reports to deliverinsights into various statistical trends. Users can create custom reports using iReport, a tooldeveloped by the Jasper Community and available as a community release. After creating areport with iReport, users can upload the report files into the hybris Report Cockpit.

    Configurable Cockpit componentsUsing the Reporting Cockpit, users can select and arrange report widgets in theirdashboards, selecting from a library of default templates shipped with hybris and from user-created reports.

    Widgets Using iReport, users can create widgets that connect to the hybris platform via the hybris

    VirtualJDBC API or to a data warehouse where hybris-related data is stored, and processand present data in rich graphical charts, tables, etc.

    Widget dashboardThe Dashboard is a customizable area into which users can place different widgets. Widgetsrender reports which are either bundled with the hybris Commerce Suite or are custom-built.Users can arrange widgets in the dashboard within pre-configured layouts and each definetheir own sets of dashboards.

    Default reportshybris Reporting Module includes a set of seven default reports: total sales, sales perregion, sales per category, revenue by segment, total revenue, number of orders, andvisitors. Default reports will be extended in future releases.

    Report export and distributionReports can be distributed via email and exported in different file formats (e.g. PDF orExcel).

    LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Module

    Authentication of users/user groups

    The hybris LDAP Module eases the authentication of users and user groups via the LDAP

    protocol and an import/synchronization of data which is stored on a LDAP server. Theidentity of user accounts will be verified through a real-time authentication with LDAPservers. User data such as passwords or roles is held in a central system so-called userdirectory and can be read out via queries. Microsoft Active Directory (management ofobjects such as users, groups, computers, services, etc.) and OpenLDAP (open sourceLDAP version) are supported.

    Supported various authentication modes

    Authentication modes that are supported: Anonymous, User and password, Secure SocketsLayer (SSL)-encrypted (anonymous, user and password, SASL (Simple Authentication andSecurity Layer) and key store password). SSL is a protocol that provides security forcommunications over networks such as the Internet. It is designed in a way to preventeavesdropping and tampering.

    Single sign-on

    The hybris LDAP Module allows you to implement a single sign-on concept (SSO) for otherapplications within your company. SSO is a property of access control of multiple, related,but independent software systems. With this property, a user logs in once and gains access

    to all systems without being prompted to log in again at each of them.

    Mapping of data fields

    The hybris LDAP Module makes configurable mapping of data fields between LDAP andhybris possible. Data fields are a very useful tool when translating your database structure tochart data. It allows you to select the columns or data fields, compare data and specify thegeographical unit at which you want to the data to be displayed.

    Data import/LDIF support

    The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is an ASCII-based data interchange format forrepresenting LDAP directory content and update requests. The internal display of the datasuch as LDIF files and search results (LDAP query language) can be easily imported withhybris management console wizards.

    Workflow & Collaboration Module

    Integrated "Workflow" box in the navigation area of theProduct Cockpit

    Secure Internet connection with SSL

    Securing channels to transmit payment information is most commonly done via a securetunnel through the secure socket layer (SSL) which provides data encryption, serverauthentication, client authentication, and message integrity for the TCP/IP connection. SSLencryption secures the session during which the credit card information is sent to themerchants to protect the information; SSL does not authenticate the merchant nor theconsumer.

    PCI compliance

    hybris supports the PCI standards governing storage of credit card information. hybrisrecommends using a payment service provider (PSP) who is already PCI-compliant. Evencomfortable shopping methods like one-click purchase can be offered using an externalPCI-compliant PSP. hybris stores a hash code as a fingerprint for users which, uponrequest, is sent to the PSP where it is augmented with the credit card details necessary to

    complete the one-click process. Storing the hash code does not present PCI complianceissues as it does not contain enough payment information to pose a risk.

    Embedded credit/debit card processing

    hybris enables you to securely process online credit/debit card transactions. You canauthorize a credit card to ensure there are sufficient funds to cover the purchase; thesefunds are reserved until the merchant ships the product. You can capture the payment datadirectly and process transactions across multiple sales channels without your staff andsystems touching the payment data. In the case of returns, you can easily transfer funds
