MaxWaitLimit and MaxReadyLimit
4.5.2.108 and 2.1.2.x
An enhancement to allow limitations for GlobalAction tasks including wait and ready. Engine will not run more than allowed amount of processes per sweep. This enhancement improves performance for high volume GlobalAction workflow consumers.

<add key="MaxWaitLimit" value="15"></add>
<add key="MaxReadyLimit" value="15"></add>
A restart of the GlobalAction service is required after making changes to the configuration file.
Both values refer to number of processing being worked on. Wait limit doesn't refer to time.

TLS 1.2 enforcement in GlobalAction
There have been continued GlobalAction TLS related updates as versions have progressed. You will need to upgrade to a newest version of GlobalCapture. Even if you are on the starting versions listed you will still need to upgrade to the latest for continued fixes.
Notes
If enabling TLS 1.2 enforcement please note that SQL Server 2012 and lower do NOT support the disablement of TLS 1.0 or lower. Please upgrade your SQL Server if necessary.
4.5.2.111 and 2.1.2.x
Add the following line to C:\GetSmart\Square9.GlobalAction.exe.config
<add key="EnforceTLS12" value="True"></add>
5.0.0.111 and 2.2.x up.
The new folder path corresponds with the GlobalCapture install.
Add the following line to C:\GetSmart\ActionServices\GlobalAction_1\Square9.GlobalAction.exe.config
<add key="EnforceTLS12" value="True"></add>
Field Caching
2.3.0.134 and up.
Allows field data to be cached in memory to avoid polling of an API. If the Engine encounters a scenario where it is interacting with a field it does not have stored in memory it will reach out to the API to get the information and then cache it. Doing this can increase performance and eliminate the back and forth to the API.
Add the following line to C:\GetSmart\ActionServices\GlobalAction_1\Square9.GlobalAction.exe.config
<add key="FieldTimeout" value="720"></add>
The timeout value is in minutes, so 720 minutes = 12 hours
The GlobalAction service needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
