Desktop Terminal Support for Operations On-Call and Internal Work Order Q&A: Deployment and Upgrade

Data for this category primarily comes from terminal management platforms, enterprise asset systems, frontline employee trouble reporting channels

What data for this category looks like

Data for this category primarily comes from terminal management platforms, enterprise asset systems, frontline employee trouble reporting channels, and internal software repositories. Daily generated documents include terminal trouble tickets, installation lists, software installation records, and remote assistance operation logs. Data updates follow either daily batch synchronization or real-time updates tied to individual requests. Each individual data entry includes fields such as terminal serial number, fault type, processing node, and associated software version. There is no unified fixed format, and matching must align with the operations ledger structure of each individual enterprise.

What constraints these characteristics impose during deployment and upgrade

Data sources for this category are scattered, and formats are inconsistent. During deployment, configure adaptation rules for multi-source data access to avoid field format conflicts across different systems. Data update rhythms are flexible. Support switching configuration between scheduled batch synchronization and real-time pull for individual requests. Daily documents have no fixed structure. Reserve a field mapping adjustment entry during deployment to adapt to the operations ledger formats of different enterprises. Core data is associated with terminal assets. During the upgrade phase, ensure database connection stability to prevent core fields from being lost during version migration.

How to configure settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
DB_MAX_LINK10–15 connectionsThe concurrent volume of work orders and terminal data supported for desktop terminals is moderate. This setting balances connection pool resource usage and concurrent response speed
MONGODB_URIFill in according to the enterprise’s internal MongoDB cluster addressUsed to store unstructured operations data such as terminal trouble tickets and remote assistance operation logs
PG_URLFill in according to the enterprise’s internal PostgreSQL asset database addressUsed to store structured asset data such as terminal serial numbers, software versions, and installation lists
REDIS_URLredis://:custom password@internal address:6379/0Used to cache frequently queried terminal online status and pending work order data to reduce database access pressure
FILE_TOKEN_KEY32-character randomly generated stringUsed to generate access tokens for terminal attachments to ensure permission security for attachment downloads
ROOT_KEY32-character randomly generated stringUsed for super administrator permission verification during system initialization to ensure access security during deployment

Three common misconfigurations

  • Issue: After upgrading FastGPT v4.17.0, conversation records display as empty when refreshing the conversation page, only showing the new conversation entry. Cause: The permission configuration for the conversation storage collection corresponding to MONGODB_URI was not correctly migrated during the upgrade process, resulting in inability to read conversation data associated with existing work orders.
  • Issue: Session conflicts or data disorder occur when multiple terminal operations staff log in to the system at the same time. Cause: Session storage parameters for REDIS_URL were not correctly configured during deployment, resulting in failure to synchronize user session information across nodes.
  • Issue: When migrating old process orchestration logic to a new version, terminal work order data cannot be properly associated. Cause: The structure of the operations work order table associated with PG_URL was not updated synchronously during version migration, resulting in the old orchestration logic being unable to read new fields.

How to confirm configurations are correct

  • Run the database connection test script to verify that configurations for DB_MAX_LINK, MONGODB_URI, PG_URL, and REDIS_URL can establish normal connections, and the connection count does not exceed the preset value.
  • Submit a simulated terminal trouble ticket and upload a test attachment to verify that the storage configuration for STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT can write files normally, and attachments can be downloaded normally.
  • Log in to the system with multiple different accounts and submit trouble reporting requests to verify that multi-user sessions can be properly isolated, and work order assignments have no conflicts.
  • Import a legacy operations ledger data set to verify that the field mapping configuration can correctly match fields such as terminal serial number and fault type to the system’s preset fields.
