Headline Enhancements

ID Salesforce Description
PROD-1532 - Personal Shipping App. UPS API now supported. UPS API is now supported when operating with Personal Shipping. If configured by a Product Admin, selected services and package types are available in the App when rate shopping.
PROD-1609 SF25080 Batch Processing. New App. Added support for Batch Processing, a new App enabling users to manage entries from the Transtream [Pending] database table. This includes correcting data from failed transactions, and saving back to the database for reprocessing. In support:
  • New Batch Processing App. See Batch Processing.
  • Added a new task, Batch Processor, which processes the shipping records found in the [Pending] table. See Batch Processor Task.
  • Support for a new email template, Batch Failure, which generates emails containing detail on errors that present during processing. See Batch Failure Email.

Additionally, new logic has been introduced to the Task Scheduler to ensure that only one instance of a task runs at a time. Due to the large volume of data that can be handled by the Batch Processing functionality, tasks could potentially overlap. Now, when a task is running the product periodically updates a column in the database with a timestamp. The setting Task Poll Time determines how often the column is updated. It defaults to 15 (minutes).

All tasks that fire now perform a check for any parallel tasks already running. If the task history indicates a “started” event was the last event, the timestamp is checked, and if the value is within range then the second instance of the task will not run.

Other Changes

PROD-1627 SF25115 MailCenter App. Desktop App. Updated pagination of content rows. Paging for content rows now functions as expected. Previously, data would not populate correctly if multiple pages of content rows were added.

PROD-1629 - FedEx Freight Web Services. New carrier special services. When operating with Recipient billing, added new carrier special services indicating how freight charges are handled in the event in which the consignee refuses to pay:
  • Carrier Collect Terms - Standard. This is a standard collect shipment. Should the consignee not pay the freight charges, the carrier can go back to the shipper to collect the charges.
  • Carrier Collect Terms - Non Recourse. The carrier has no recourse on the shipper for freight charges should the consignee refuse to pay; the carrier can refuse to deliver the shipment if the consignee does not pay the freight charges.

See FedEx Freight Web Services Reference for detail.
