Headline Enhancements

ID Salesforce Description
TRANS-3211 - Transtream. Introduced App caching. Several changes have been implemented to enhance App performance:
  • In Product Admin, Apps can now be cached for increased performance on startup.
  • Data engine lookups, used to load dropdown lists, have been improved to prevent them from performing unnecessary calls. For example, executing a lookup if results have already been returned. However, if lookup data sources change regularly, the App should not be cached. See Apps for detail.
It is advised that the Administration App is not cached.
TRANS-4032 - Amended rate, ship and return transactions. If provided in the request, RecordIdentitier values are now returned in the associated response. Where previously the nodes would be always be returned, even if empty, if no RecordIdentifier values are provided they are no longer included in the response. Additionally, the ship response now includes some basic order details of the shipment.
