Smart Serial responses are not handling multiple requests being sent at the same time

Paul Lee [DevOps Member]595 23rd February 2022 0 Comments

Hi all,

we have a smart serial element which takes http post requests from source and send responses. It works fine when handling individual requests but it seems to send incorrect responses when there are multiple requests coming in simultaneously. e.g. if there are request A, B and C and the correct responses are response A, B and C respectively, but instead the element sends response A, B, B for example.

We believe this is due to the shared parameter that saves each request body and it gets overridden quicker than the time it takes to send the response out hence some responses were sent to wrong requests.

So far we tried putting some delays within the code and also used 'makeCommandByProtocol' attribute but did not work. I am leaving my xml setting below. Could you please have a look and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong here or how to send correct responses out with simultaneous requests?

Hello Paul,

You most likely need a buffer mechanism to hold your "flooded requests" and then treat them individually. Otherwise, you will try to get information that was already overwritten with new requests.
