Timeouts from the InventoryTransfer endpoint

by Kjetil Ringstad (Updated ‎19-08-2021 11:09 by Kjetil Ringstad PARTNER )

Hi

The last few days inventory transfers through /controller/api/v1/inventoryTransfer results in timeout error messages returned from the API gateway.

The request itself does not time out, but the timeout message is being returned.

 

Can you please look into it? 

 

Example, company id 2693113 , today 19.08.2021 10:16:35 , payload:

{"warehouseId":{"value":"1"},"toWarehouseId":{"value":"1"},"transferLines":[{"toLocationId":{"value":"GA-16-05"},"operation": "Insert","inventoryNumber":{"value":"23420"},"locationId":{"value":"VM-00-00"},"quantity":{"value": 11},"uom":{"value":"STK"}}],"hold":{"value":false},"externalReference":{"value":""},"description":{"value":""}}

Hello.

 

We have done some major performance improvements on GET InventoryTransfer endpoint in Tuesdays version.

https://community.visma.com/t5/News-in-Developers-Visma-net/Release-Notes-Visma-Net-API-9-50-0-06-06...

It should fetch bigger datasets much faster.

Please provide feedback on the improvements.

Hey Magnus
Thanks again for the debug session today, As promised i just bump this tickes as it seems like this issue is still ongoing

Some timing on responce time, our client are running 20 warehouses doing 600-700 trsafares weekly
for one day it will take aroung 30-40 sec to retrive data from this endpoint
https://integration.visma.net/API/controller/api/v1/inventoryTransfer?status=Balanced&lastModifiedDa... 08:00:27.621&lastModifiedDateTimeCondition=%3E

If i draw for a longer period lets sat 14 days - 30 dags 
the request time ends up around 1min - 1.5min (this is oretty consistent)

It seems like there is still somthing that can be done for performence in this endpoint 🙂

Hello.

 

You now have the possibility to filter on warehouse on the inventorytransfer endpoint:

Release notes 9.41 
This should help on getting more in-point data in your use case.
We are also working on improving this endpoint on a general level and the improvement will come in a couple of weeks.

Hey AliMKhan

So i played around with the warehouse and toWarehouse filter options
it almost seems like u made the to depended of eachother.
so u cannot use toWarehouse alone(without warehouse)

So for the use case we have this will not work.
here is why.
Whe warehouse is stores, and we created a simpel tool to make it simpel for store workers to find inmound 
InventoryTransfares to thair store (toWarehouse) but as from can ba another store or a central warehouse , we would have to create 20 calls for this endpoint to check all "FromStores(Warehouse)"

Using the toWarehouse alone have no impact(before adding warehouse)

is this intended ?

Hello Magnus,

 

Last night we have set our import time of Visma that started at 6:30 back to 1:20 midnight (CET), and now we got a timeout again. It looks like the extra API server performance is not enough at this time of the night.

 

We got a 504 response at 01:56:44 and the import stopped. 

This is our API log that started at 1:20

Hi,

If it's only an occasional there should not be an issue in general.

How long did it take before timing out? Did it work when trying again?

As Frank, we did get 504's at about the same time last night.

I addition there were some new 504 right now at 12:27

Ok, thank you, we'll inform the team.

@andreasaulin @schimmel-hsleiden Is it only happening on specific companies or in general? Could you please send us the company ID's.

We are not seeing anything out of the ordinary, average response time is normal.

Hi Magnus,

 

Our import went well for the past two weeks, but last monday (4th of october) we had another 'Timeout' and the import stopped at 01:26:08. Did you have any other troubles that night? Can you see if there is any cause. Is there too much traffic on the server at this time?

Hi,

We can't see any particular issues, slightly higher average response time but not a problematic increase or any increase in errors.

Hi Magnus,

 

When we do the same import batch starting at 6:30 we have had no issues or timeouts. When an import starts and we recieve an error, the import stops. We do not do retry's of API calls after one has failed.

 

Kind regards,


Frank Schimmel

I don't know if it's related, but the last days we've been experiencing performance loss from the InventorySummary endpoint as well.

Hello people of Visma,

 

We have had the same problems with the Visma API. We import all the info of Visma into our Information Framework. Problems started on 12th of august with (403) errors (Forbidden) and then from 20/8 we have had operation time outs. Now it all seems fine again. But the question is, did something change on the 12th of august that has caused all this problems and is Visma monitoring time outs to prevent this problems in the future?

Hi,

We have since made changes to our infrastructure to be able to better handle the API traffic, we have also put in place more measurements to make sure that we will have a better chance of catching issues where these timeouts are causing an issue.

 

We are currently still monitoring this and investigating what improvements we can implement to eliminate the risk of this occurring again.

 

Please let us know if you see these types of issues again.

 

Thank you.
