Asynchronous Support for RIQ Custom Action

This feature introduces asynchronous processing capabilities for the custom-actions Rate Inquiry (RIQ) REST APIs (“Rate and Route” and “Network Rate and Route”) by supporting the “Prefer: respond-async” request header. With this enhancement, you can submit RIQ requests for asynchronous execution.

Business Benefit: The option to submit RIQ requests for asynchronous execution allows the system to handle long-running requests without blocking application threads, improving overall system performance and user interface responsiveness.

Steps to Enable and Configure

You can utilize the new asynchronous option by passing the request header "Prefer"  - "respond-async", by default the request will be handled synchronously.
