Release V9.2.6.6
Server Stability Improvements
This hotfix release includes system improvements for enhanced server stability:
Removed Duplicate RequestType from Tokenization Requests
Context: During detokenization operations in UniBroker, errors were occurring due to duplicate requestType parameters being included in requests, which could lead to system instability.
Solution: Modified the RequestObject class to remove the redundant requestType parameter from tokenization and detokenization requests while maintaining the original requestType for reference.
Impact: The system now processes tokenization and detokenization requests more reliably with a cleaner request structure, reducing potential errors and improving overall stability.
- Implementation Details
- Testing & Validation
- Database Changes
System Changes Overview
- Database Changes: None
- Configuration Changes: None
- Code Changes: Modified request processing logic in the RequestObject class to remove duplicate requestType parameters
- Filesystem Changes: None
- Data Migration: None
Update Actions Analysis
No special update actions are required for this change.
- The fix is implemented entirely through code changes
- No database structure modifications were required
- No configuration adjustments are needed
- Standard deployment procedures will properly apply these changes
Implementation Actions
- Deploy the updated code following standard procedures
- No special configurations or settings need to be adjusted
- No data migration steps are required
- No manual intervention is needed after deployment
Configuration and Access Steps
- No special configuration is required for testing this functionality
- The change is internal to the system with no direct UI component
- Testing should focus on the tokenization and detokenization operations
- Navigation: This is an internal system change with no specific UI navigation path
Test Scenarios
-
Basic Tokenization Operation
- Steps: Initiate a standard tokenization request through the appropriate integration point
- Expected result: Request should be properly processed without errors and token should be generated
-
Basic Detokenization Operation
- Steps: Send a detokenization request for a previously tokenized value
- Expected result: Original value should be returned without any system errors
-
System Logs Verification
- Steps: Check system logs during tokenization and detokenization operations
- Expected result: Request logs should show only one requestType parameter, not duplicated values
-
High-Volume Operation Test
- Steps: Process multiple concurrent tokenization and detokenization requests
- Expected result: All requests should be handled correctly without errors related to request parameters
Common Issues
- Verify no errors appear in the system logs related to requestType parameter
- Ensure all tokenization operations complete successfully
- Confirm no unexpected parameter formatting in request logs
- Check for any performance degradation during high-volume processing
Potential Impact Areas
- UI Components: No direct impact on UI components
- Reports & Analytics: No impact on reporting functionality
- APIs & Integrations: Verify all tokenization-related API endpoints work properly with the updated request format
- Database Queries: No impact on database queries
- Business Logic: Confirm all tokenization business logic functions correctly with the modified request structure
- Performance: Monitor tokenization and detokenization operations for any changes in response time
Schema Updates
- No database schema changes were implemented for this fix
- No table structures were modified
- No new indices or constraints were added
Rollback Possibility Assessment
This change can be safely rolled back if necessary.
- The modification only affects code handling of request parameters
- No database structure changes were made that would prevent rollback
- No data transformations were performed that would be irreversible
- Rolling back would only require reverting to the previous code version
System Performance Improvements
The following system improvements have been implemented to enhance monitoring capabilities:
StrongAuth Connection Performance Monitoring
Context: Slow StrongAuth connections were difficult to identify and diagnose, leading to potential performance issues without proper visibility.
Solution: Implemented a dedicated logging mechanism that captures and records slow StrongAuth connection requests with detailed timing and response information.
Impact: System administrators and developers can now identify performance bottlenecks in StrongAuth interactions through dedicated logs, enabling better monitoring and optimization.
- Implementation Details
- Testing & Validation
- Database Changes
System Changes Overview
- Database Changes: None
- Configuration Changes: Added new logging configuration for slow StrongAuth connections
- Code Changes: Created new SlowConnectionLogger class and integrated with existing connectors
- Filesystem Changes: New log file for slow connections (tmp.slow-connection.log)
- Data Migration: None
Update Actions Analysis
No update actions are required as all changes can be deployed through standard mechanisms.
- Changes are limited to logging functionality with no database modifications
- All modifications are implemented through standard code deployment
- Configuration changes are automatically applied during startup
- No manual configuration or data manipulation is needed
Implementation Actions
- Deploy updated application code to target environments
- Verify log file creation and permissions
- Configure log rotation if needed for the new log file
- Monitor log volume to ensure disk space is sufficient
Configuration and Access Steps
- No specific UI configuration is needed as this is a system-level monitoring feature
- Logs are stored in the standard log directory under filename: tmp.slow-connection.log
- Default threshold for slow connection detection is 2000ms
- This is a system internal change that primarily affects monitoring capabilities
Test Scenarios
-
Verify Log File Creation
- Steps: Restart the application and check for the existence of tmp.slow-connection.log
- Expected result: Log file should be created in the configured log directory
-
Verify Slow Connection Logging
- Steps: Create a deliberately slow connection to StrongAuth (>2000ms)
- Expected result: Connection details should be recorded in the log file
-
Verify Log Format
- Steps: Examine entries in the slow connection log
- Expected result: Each entry should contain timestamp, connection duration, and response code
-
Verify Normal Connection Behavior
- Steps: Make several standard-speed connections to StrongAuth
- Expected result: Fast connections should not appear in the slow connection log
Common Issues
- Log file permissions may prevent writing if not properly configured
- High volume of slow connections could cause excessive log growth
- Log rotation should be properly configured to prevent disk space issues
- Configuration changes may require application restart to take effect
Potential Impact Areas
- UI Components: No impact
- Reports & Analytics: No impact
- APIs & Integrations: Minimal performance impact due to additional logging
- Database Queries: No impact
- Business Logic: No impact
- Performance: Negligible overhead from logging operations
Schema Updates
- No database schema changes are included in this update
- No data modifications are made to existing database records
- No new tables or columns are added
Rollback Possibility Assessment
Database rollback is not applicable for this change.
- This update does not include any database changes
- All modifications are limited to application code and logging configuration
- No database migration scripts are included in this deployment
- Standard code rollback procedures would be sufficient if needed
