Goal

In the Feature Summary page for POM 19.1:

As the RGBU prepares for customers to migrate from GBUCS to CFS, there is a need for a transitional period where POM and one or more POM-using applications have migrated to CFS while other POM-using applications remain behind on GBUCS until they are also ready for migration. In POM version 21.0.003, POM supports this sort of hybrid deployment. In version 19.1.010, POM was modified to deploy the necessary POM Agent on GBUCS which will work with POM on CFS.

Once the hybrid setup is complete, customers who currently call POM APIs need to switch the endpoint authentication mode from Basic Auth to OAuth. Customers need to refer to the ‘Invoking POM Services Using OAuth’ chapter of the ‘POM 21.0.003 Implementation Guide’ for information regarding using the OAuth mode of authentication when calling POM APIs.

Once the hybrid setup is complete and an application is ready for migration to CFS, Oracle will configure POM to switch from GBUCS to CFS.

For reference, the POM 21.0 Implementation guide: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E79623_01/rms/pdf/210000/retail_pom_impl.pdf

This question is regarding this line:

"Once the hybrid setup is complete, customers who currently call POM APIs need to switch the endpoint authentication mode from Basic Auth to OAuth."

Question:

Will Basic Auth POM APIs fail when Hybrid Setup is complete, or will both Basic Auth and Oauth APIs work after Hybrid Setup is complete but all APIs must be Oauth before the cut-over to CFS?
