Getting row lock contention when running sampleinvoice IP

Description:

sampleinvoice IP taking more than 60s to return the response. The Api call internally invokes a plsql procedure that puts record under lock for the current transaction. When sampleinvoice is triggered for same policy ID, response time of more than 60s is observed.

Resolution:

A NOWAIT clause was incorporated into the PL/SQL procedure to immediately terminate any concurrent process waiting for the lock to be released. This fix optimizes the response time of the sampleinvoice IP call
