INC-143 - 3D Secure
  • Resolved
    Resolved

    We have received confirmation from our upstream supplier that this has been resolved, they have implemented a permanent fix and have verified that the platform is operating as expected.

    The root cause of this incident was due to a routine infrastructure upgrade, this upgrade was first applied to the staging and development environments, where it completed successfully with no impact to service. However when the same upgrade was deployed to the production environment, it did not behave as expected and resulted in a disruption to transaction processing.

    Monitoring

    As of 12:01 we are seeing that 3D Secure services have been restored. We will continue to monitor and await confirmation from our upstream supplier that this has been resolved.

  • Update
    Update

    Our supplier is still working on restoring 3D Secure services with high priority and we will provide an update once more information has been made available.

  • Investigating
    Investigating

    Our upstream 3D Secure provider has notified us of an incident between 04:00am - 04:20 which has now been resolved.

    We have been notified by our upstream supplier that a seperate issue is now intermittently affecting transaction processing and we are seeing intermittent issues with 3DS2 authentication, which is resulting in a high number of 'Authentication attempted' responses being received by our upstream supplier.

    Encoded will still attempt to process 3DS2 transactions that have received an 'Authentication attempted' response, however you may see an increase in declined rates whilst this issue is ongoing, as card issuers may be less likely to authorise a transaction that has not had a successful 3DS2 authentication performed. If you have implemented your own integrations with our APIs, please ensure that you continue to send transaction challenge responses to the API that receive a "transStatus" of "A", as this will ensure that the transaction is still attempted, maximising the chance of authorisation of the transaction.

    Our upstream 3DS supplier is currently investigate what is causing the increase and this page will be updated with further information once available.

    Following our previous maintenance to the UAT environment, we will be updating the Encoded Gateway API on the production environment on the 4th of November from 6am - 8am.

    During this maintenance window services will remain available to customers, but will be deemed 'at risk' during this time due to a reduction in redundancy whilst the update is completed.

    We will be updating the Encoded Gateway API to a new version on the UAT environment on the 28th of October from 10am. This is so we can conduct compatibility and stability testing ahead of the full production release, another maintenance window will be scheduled when testing is completed.

    During this maintenance window, services on the UAT environment that use the Gateway API may experience intermittent availability whilst the updates are completed. Services on the Production environment will be unaffected by this maintenance window.

    On Sunday 21st September, between 11pm and midnight, Encoded will be performing a managed hardware upgrade of our database servers. This maintenance will see new hardware coming online which will vastly improve performance, reliability and resilience of our database servers.

    The new database servers are currently in place and operating as secondary/failover servers within the database cluster. During the maintenance window, we will migrate production services from the legacy databases to the new databases. It is expected that this process will take approximately 5 minutes within the hour long maintenance window.

    During the 5 minute switch, all Encoded services will be unavailable or intermittently available.

    Following the migration, the legacy databases will remain in place and operating as secondary/failover databases in the short term to enable a fast rollback path should any issues be identified.

INC-139 Truevo Gateway Incident
  • Resolved
    Resolved

    The Truevo team have confirmed that this incident has been resolved.

    The root cause was due to an unannounced change made by the Truevo gateway this morning, which caused Encoded to receive HTTP 500 errors for some transaction attempts against Truevo merchant accounts.

    Customers may see an increased number of 'Comms Error' payment results with the message 'An unexpected problem happened' in their transaction reporting.

  • Investigating
    Investigating
    This incident only impacts customers with gateway services provided by Truevo. If you do not have gateway services with Truevo, you can edit your notification settings by going to [status.encoded.co.uk](http://status.encoded.co.uk) and clicking 'Subscribe to updates' and selecting the components you wish to receive notifications for. Since 07:30am approximately 40% of transactions attempted with the Truevo have failed with a comms error message of 'An unexpected problem happened' - we have reached out to the Truevo team to investigate. Once we have further updates this page will be updated.

This may have affected receipt of daily transaction reports however payment receipts and PayByLinks will have sent as normal and without issue.

    Encoded engineers will be on site at our Colo2 data centre to carry out maintenance to replace power supply units on equipment.

    This maintenance window is not expected to cause any downtime or impact services as the equipment being worked on has power supply redundancy. However due to the nature of the changes, services will be deemed at risk during this period.
