MYOB API Running Slow Today
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it related to the 2FA change that went out overnight?
Forum Discussion
Yep - really annoying - something that takes 11 mins - downloading of BackOrder invoices - took 46 mins - yes there are error loops to catch but I have had to broaden these in the last month trying to resolve appalling download times for BOrder invoices - grr .....
However, the reason I posted was a very annoying thing that I am not sure how to fix - if I post an invoice or a BackOrder - something that 'does occur' but today it has happened too many times - [ and yes I know if you turn on - 'warn if duplicate invoice numbers' - this will error your post so I turn it off ] - but when MYOB has another one of its 'Gateway timeouts' - an invoice can actually get through and be posted successfully but we still get a 'gateway error' - so my code says - 'ok try again to post' and you get a double up.
Apart from turning on 'duplicate invoice number warning' - anyone know a way to PREVENTING'
I am doing a mind exercise at the moment trying to consider so coding to check this??
The Doc
Ah Doc, we meet again. I would be great if MYOB provided an idempotency key feature for transactional inserts. Out of interest I find an average 1.5% failure rate, whereby 50% of time an invoice is 'silently' inserted, 50% not. To get around it, I track first send time and confirmation time. If i come around again in the processing queue to find an invoice to be inserted already has a first send time (but no confirmation time,) I search for the invoice in MYOB by my unique key stored in the PO number field. If found, I link to the invoice, if not found I try to reinsert. Seems to work well. I know the PO number won't be able to be commandered like this for everyone but another field might work.
