HTTP Interfaces and External Systems for Operating Procedure Compliance

The data source for operating procedures consists of official institutional documents published by the enterprise’s compliance and legal departments.

What the data for this category looks like

The data source for operating procedures consists of official institutional documents published by the enterprise’s compliance and legal departments. Most documents are structured electronic or paper manuals. Updates are triggered irregularly alongside regulatory policy adjustments and internal process optimizations, with no fixed schedule. Each document uses a chapter-based structure, including fields such as document number, effective date, applicable positions, operating steps, and penalty requirements for violations. Field units are mostly "Article X", "YYYY-MM-DD", and "corresponding position". The length of individual clauses varies widely. It is recommended to conduct statistics or actual testing using one’s own samples before finalizing values.

What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems

Data sources come from the enterprise’s internal document management system, which must be integrated via HTTP interfaces. A valid authentication mechanism must be configured to prevent unauthorized access. Updates have no fixed schedule and may be triggered temporarily, so interfaces must support incremental pulling to reduce bandwidth and parsing load. Documents include multi-dimensional filter fields such as document number and effective date, so interfaces must support filtering valid content by corresponding fields to avoid returning expired or inapplicable documents. Individual clauses have long lengths, so interface returned content must support segmented pulling to prevent timeouts caused by excessive data volume in a single request.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
PARSE_DOC_INCREMENTALEnabledOperating procedure updates have no fixed schedule. Incremental synchronization reduces interface call frequency and data transmission volume
DOC_SYNC_INTERVAL3600 secondsInternal compliance document updates are mostly triggered monthly or temporarily. Synchronizing once per hour covers most update scenarios
MAX_DOC_PARSE_LENGTH8000 charactersIndividual operating procedure clauses are mostly 500 to 2000 characters long. This configuration ensures parsing efficiency and content completeness
API_FILTER_FIELDSEffective Date, Document Number, Applicable ScopeCompliance documents must be filtered by effective status, document identification, and usage scenarios to return only valid, usable content
EXTERNAL_DOC_API_TIMEOUT600 secondsParsing large compliance documents takes a long time. This configuration prevents synchronization processes from being interrupted by timeouts

The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis. It is recommended to perform actual testing using one’s own samples before finalizing values.

Three common configuration errors

  • Calling the external document synchronization interface returns a 404 status code. The cause is that the EXTERNAL_DOC_API_AUTH parameter is not configured, and a valid authentication token is not included.
  • Querying session history by customUid returns all session records. The cause is that customUid is not configured as a filter field in CHAT_HISTORY_FILTER_PARAMS, and the interface does not filter data by the specified identifier.
  • Synchronized operating procedure documents are old versions. The cause is that the PARSE_DOC_INCREMENTAL configuration is not enabled, only full historical documents are pulled, and the latest version is not retrieved.

How to confirm configurations are set correctly

  • Call the external document synchronization interface, check that the returned JSON data includes the configured filter fields such as document number and effective date, and confirm that the filtering logic takes effect.
  • View synchronization logs, confirm that only updated documents are pulled, and there are no records of full repeated synchronization, to verify that the incremental configuration takes effect.
  • Initiate a test session, carry the customUid parameter when calling the conversation interface, then query the historical records, and confirm that only sessions corresponding to the identifier are returned.
  • Upload a single long operating procedure document, view the parsed segmented content, and confirm that the segment length matches the MAX_DOC_PARSE_LENGTH configuration value.
