Altru upgrades are starting soon. Learn about new features and issues resolved in version 5.31.

What's New

This update includes enhancements to proactively improve security strength and remediate potential security concerns. It also includes the following new features.



Authenticate OData connections via proxy users

To streamline OData connections, you can now use a proxy user to connect to your Altru database. Previously, proxy users were only supported for SOAP API endpoints. Altru supports proxy users for:

  • ~/ODataQuery.ashx
  • ~/AppFxWebService.asmx
  • ~/vpp/bizops
  • ~/util/DataList.ashx
For more information, see Non-Interactive Users.

Performance improvements

  • To provide your patrons with quicker response times when purchasing tickets online, this release includes performance improvements for program web forms.
  • To improve back-office sales functions and operations, a new business process now runs nightly to remove stale, pending sales orders that may cause slowness in other areas of Altru.
