Vortex Release Version (July 19, 2026)

• Removed an obsolete processor configuration from the settlement workflow to prevent it from being included in settlement processing. This reduces unnecessary processing and eliminates related settlement log entries.

• Removed the unused VTX Batch Report publishing process to eliminate unnecessary background processing and reduce system messaging overhead while preserving the underlying batch report data for future use.

• Enhanced configuration management to support loading application settings from Kubernetes ConfigMaps with automatic fallback to local configuration values when needed. This simplifies environment configuration while maintaining compatibility with existing deployments and ensuring services continue operating when local configuration is unavailable.

• Enhanced Redis connectivity to support both TLS-enabled and non-TLS environments through configuration-based settings. This enables seamless compatibility across cloud and on-premises deployments without requiring code changes.

• Updated SMS Settled reporting to calculate totals and summary values using settlement amounts instead of transaction amounts. This ensures consistency between Settled and Clearing reports while improving the accuracy of batch totals, transaction summaries, billing, and reporting.

Impact

These updates improve platform performance and operational efficiency by removing unnecessary settlement and reporting processes, increasing deployment flexibility through enhanced configuration and Redis connectivity options, and improving the accuracy of SMS settlement reporting. Together, these enhancements streamline processing, simplify infrastructure management, and provide more consistent financial reporting across the Vortex platform.
