GUID generator algorithm changes
To improve the performance of the SOAP API we have implemented Rijndael algorithm for GUID generation. The new algorithm lowered the API server's CPU usage approx. 30 %
The new algorithm will be in use as default for all new customers who take Severa API into use. Existing integrations will keep using the old RC2 algorithm.
If you know that your integration doesn't save the guids into your database, you can contact Severa customer support (severasupport@visma.com) and ask them to enable the new algorithm for you.
There are some integrations that are build by Severa team on top of the API and we will update those to use the new algorithm. This is done per customer and can only be done for those customers who are not using Severa API on it's own, or certain integrations that we know that store guids (for example Visma Business, Visma Global, Zendesk and Jira).
