UPS User management- getting 503 error to load all users for all sites |
User management is throwing 503 error while loading all users for all sites selection. Cache warmup, which calls the sites/v1 API, was being called for every user ID, instead of doing it at once. There are cases of empty API key and site IDs 0 and -1, and since there are no cache entries for these values, the cache ended up making a remote call and was causing significant delay in the API response. This issue has been fixed now by adding checks to not look up the cache for all site IDs and empty API key. Also, the cache warm-up is now done only once when the application starts up. |
