  1. OPI-6239779 : US2 : Travel : Root Cause Analysis

    Impact as Reported: Approximately 85% of SAP New Concur Travel customers experienced an issue searching for air, car, hotel, or rail segments, regardless of the GDS used. Affected users may have encountered missing details on the Travel Wizard search page, or a blank page or error after submitting search criteria. In some cases, users were able to complete their search successfully after retrying. No consistent workaround was identified during the period of service degradation. Legacy Travel customers were unaffected by this incident. Root cause: The Incident Response Team identified an automated routine that was attempting to execute a large database query. This led to contention with other queries that needed to access the same dataset. The contention issue ended once the automation stopped the query having exceeded its allowed run time, and service returned to normal. Corrective Actions: The following corrective and preventative actions were identified: 1. Disabled the automation from running queries on the core database impacted until further preventative actions are implemented 2. Update automation to use an estimated row count limit to block the query from running automatically and send to the database team for manual review. 3. Restrict the hours for automation to run on core databases to non-peak hours to avoid contention during primary business hours. 4. Update the timeout configuration to be per server so that lower timeouts can be configured for larger or most critical databases

  1. OPI-6236991 : US2 : Expense | Travel | Invoice | Request | Imaging | Analysis/Intelligence | Mobile : Root Cause Analysis

    Impact as Reported: Some SAP Concur customers experienced a brief issue signing in to the SAP Concur website and mobile app. Users who sign in using a username and password may have seen an error message stating, “Sorry, something went wrong,” after entering their username and selecting Next. Users who were in the process of signing in during this brief service degradation may have encountered a timeout error or been redirected back to the sign‑in screen. Any user who experienced an error was able to successfully sign in by retrying. Customers using Single Sign‑On (SSO) were not impacted by this incident. Root cause: During a planned updates to the authentication service, some users experienced intermittent login failures when signing in with a username and password. This occurred because the deployment was rolled out gradually, and for a short period different parts of the system were running slightly different versions of the CSRF token encryption logic. As a result, newer instances were unable to correctly process tokens generated by older ones, causing some login attempts to fail. The issue was temporary and resolved automatically once the deployment completed and all systems were running the same version. Corrective Actions: The preventative action is to identify authentication updates that may create conflicts between newer and previous versions during a rollout. Once identified, those updates will be scheduled for deployment during a maintenance window, allowing advance customer notification regarding any expected impact.
