What data for this category looks like
Data sources for this category include design drawings, material quality certificates, welding equipment parameters, filler metal inventory, non-destructive testing systems, and personnel qualification ledgers. Daily documents cover welding procedure qualifications, welding procedure specifications, filler metal issue records, welder qualification records, weld inspection reports, and repair orders. Data updates occur per weld, per batch, or per shift. Individual records include fields such as weld number, filler metal batch number, welder qualification number, non-destructive testing results, and repair times. Common units include millimeters, kilograms, hours, and other standard engineering units.
What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems
The multi-source, decentralized data sources of this category require HTTP interfaces to support integration with multiple external systems. The Authorization parameter must be used to distinguish access permissions for different systems. The high-frequency update rhythm requires interfaces to support high-frequency calls, and reasonable response thresholds must be configured. Diverse document types and specialized fields require interfaces to accept the variables parameter to adapt to field validation rules for different documents. Strict quality constraints require interfaces to return clear validation results, enabling external systems to trigger exception alerts and prevent non-compliant processes from moving to the next stage.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Authorization | Format as Bearer <connected system secret> | Validate the access legitimacy of external systems, in compliance with industrial system interface security specifications |
variables | Pass field mapping rules by document type, for example {"weld_id":"weld number","detect_result":"non-destructive testing result"} | Adapt to the specialized field formats of all daily documents for welded structural components, unifying interface data structures |
responseData | Include structured fields for weld number, validation result, and repair times | Enable external systems to directly extract key information and trigger subsequent process linkage |
| Batch call limit | 100 records per single call | Match the update scale of this category per shift or per batch, avoiding interface overload |
| Timeout threshold | 30 seconds | Adapt to the average response time of multi-system data pulling, balancing call efficiency and stability |
| Retry interval | Retry 2 times after failure, 5 seconds apart | Address temporary network fluctuations, reducing the probability of data synchronization interruptions |
Three common configuration errors
- Calling the interface returns a 401 Unauthorized error. Cause: The
Authorizationparameter is not configured correctly, or an expired connected system secret is used. - Calling the interface returns a 404 or 500 status code. Cause: The standard interface path of FastGPT v4.17.0 is not used, or the format of the incoming
variablesparameter does not meet document requirements. - Weld inspection report data fields received by the interface are empty. Cause: Correct field mapping rules are not configured via the
variablesparameter, resulting in a mismatch between fields passed by the external system and those expected by the interface.
How to confirm configuration is complete
- Call the test interface and check if the returned
responseDataincludes expected business fields. - Simulate multi-batch data submission and confirm that the interface does not throw exception errors during high-frequency calls.
- Invalidate the
Authorizationparameter and confirm that the interface returns a clear unauthorized prompt. - Pass test data that does not conform to field mapping and confirm that the interface returns clear validation failure information.
