Pre-Needs Burial (EOAS)

Last Updated: 2024-12-16

Introduction

EOAS is the Eligibility Office Automation System. EOAS APIs provide a mechanism for submitting preneed burial applications. The integration with EOAS is provided via NSOC configured tunnels to INT/QA (Integration/Quality Assurance) EOAS systems over port 8110. The production environment connects over HTTPS on port 443. There is no client certificate required.

Vets API connects to the EOAS service through the Platform owned fwdproxy and is integrated with breakers, a circuit breaker pattern to determine when an outage occurs.

Maintenance Windows

This service does a backup every night just after 8:30UTC, which brings the application down from our perspective. We've inquired about this and the partner considers this a normal part of operations. We've opted to suppress warnings for this backend between 08:00-09:00.
