Provider
vs.
Consumer
Our
records
show,
that
the
interface
endpoint
(api/v1/services/servicesHasInterfaces)
might
not
be
used
in
production
at
the
moment.
We
would
like
turn
it
off
latest
on
Nov
20th in
order
to
avoid
performance
decreases.
à Please
inform
us
ASAP
so
we
can
discuss
migrations
During
the
migration
we
have
the
assign
one
application
as
provider
and
one
as
consumer
of
the
Interface.
Whenever
the
direction
was
set
to
“Outgoing”
or
“Incoming”
we
can
derive
this.
In
case
of
“Bi-­‐Directional”
this
is
not
clear
and
we
have
a
50%
chance
to
do
it
right.
à Filter
by
all
Bi-­‐Directional
interfaces
in
the
inventory,
export
to
Excel
and
correct
the
wrong
entries.
