Service Introduction for PAF, epic 1271

Please note: These will be uploaded as separate articles on Knowledgebase


Article 1 - Business Overview
Please note this functionality of integrating with Postcode Anywhere (PCA) changes three main areas:
1. Add address in My Account, Registration, and Non-JS Checkout
2. Store Search (includes search by partial postcode or Town/County)
3. Add address in JS checkout (includes Auto-suggest feature)

PAF_1271 Project.docx

Article 2 Solution Design
Please note that we implemented Option 2 (connection with PCA via IL, not through an API)
Martini will still use the internal PAF (GMOs resiliency). GMO address found from Postcode Anywhere will
be added to Martini and not overridden by internal PAF.

Article 5 The additional webservice calls
Please note there no additional DB calls
How is the call to the third party made?
- IL is making a REST call with Postcode Anywhere system. The flow is - ATG will invoke
the Location Service component of IL.
- Location Service component will receive the message from ATG and will make a call to
LocatePCA service.
- LocatePCA service will make a REST call to Postcode Anywhere and return the response
back to ATG.

What additional archives, web services are being provided in GMO4 for this?
- IL is providing one more archive LocatePCAService to achieve the requirement. This
archive is provided as part of GMO4.
- We have updated the existing LocationService to expose four new services to ATG.

JS URL:
This is the URL for postcode anywhere JS api and CSS file we are pointing in checkout.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/css/captureplus-1.34.min.css?key=ed59-pz86-tg22-kf68" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/js/captureplus-
1.34.min.js?key=ed59-pz86-tg22-kf68&app=5176"></script>
The key in the above URLs is generated using a control panel when creating a new product [we use
capture+]. This key will act as a unique identifier in our requests to the service. Once the key is
generated, add the above code [stylesheet and script] in the head section of checkout.
JS file included sends request to PCA service on every key press in the textbox and the gives the
results back as a json response. We use callback functions to parse the JSON response and get the
required fields that are required to add an address.

Article 7 Support Model including key contacts from Postcode Anywhere
Support of products is free and for as long as we use the product with no expiry date
Maintenance window - There is no formal maintenance window because the service operates
during planned and emergency maintenance and they apply the daily address updates. Current
operations allow an entire data centre offline without service being affected and continue to run
with the same response times (less than 20 milliseconds).

Capacity and Availability Availability is 99.9%. Postcode Anywhere is running at around 10%
capacity and service, approx. 4.5 million unique web service requests each day. All the equipment is
new and they have a rolling programme of updating all kit and infrastructure regularly. As part of
accreditation to ISO 27001 they take monthly performance stats across the server estate to check
for reduced performance and replacing kit where necessary.

Performance Live performance can be viewed at http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/

Response times
Capture + <1second Measured to the network boundary)
Other services < 2 seconds (measured to the network boundary)


Out of office hours: 24 hour call answering and theres a process for escalating urgent issues out-of-
hours. Theyre in the process of extending our support hours, which will probably see normal
support until 11pm during the week.
The Support team checks enquiries twice a day at weekend, usually at 10am and 5pm. Enquiries are
also checked during evening, up to around 10pm.
In practice, because service is monitored at all times, if there was a problem with their technology,
they know about it immediately and would act straight away. If there is a problem with the service
they are alerted within 60 seconds with the nature of the problem.

Article 8 Services and costs of Postcode Anywhere integration
Please note Postcode Anywhere charges per call. Tesco forecasts 8 million add address calls and 16 million
store search calls. A call will not be re-made upon refreshing, if it is the same postcode or address the
address is from the cache. For Auto-Suggest add address in checkout, the call is after the customer selects
the validated address i.e. not counted as a call while typing and getting suggestions.
