CreateConfigurationFromCopy

Method

CreateConfigurationFromCopy(NewCopyConfigParameters parameters)

This method creates a new configuration for the specified header record in the integration system based on a copy of an existing configuration.

Parameters

The CreateConfigurationFromCopy() method requires a parameters parameter of type NewCopyConfigParameters.

NewCopyConfigParameters 

An instance of NewCopyConfigParameters is passed into the CreateConfigurationFromCopy method. It provides the required information to create a new configuration based on an existing configuration.

Constructors

NewCopyConfigParameters()

NewCopyConfigParameters(ConfigHeader header, ConfigHeader sourceHeader, int lineItemId)

Properties

Data Type

Property

Description

ConfigHeader

SourceHeader

Returns or sets the header (type and id) of the record in the host system being copied from.

Int

LineItemId

Returns or sets the configuration ID to be copied.

AutoUpdateConfigurationType

AutoUpdateConfiguration

 

Specifies whether the configuration should be automatically evaluated, executing rules and applying their effects upon creation of the configuration. The default behavior is to auto-execute rules; this is in contrast to the Web UI where the rules do not fire automatically when loading XML (because it runs under the assumption that when given XML, it's loading a saved configuration)

Valid values include:

  • None

  • All

ConfigContextProperty[]

ContextProperties

Returns or sets the context properties passed into the configurator to be evaluated during initialization.

String

UILanguage

Returns or sets the language culture to use in the configuration. The designation may be a specific culture (e.g. en-US, nl-NL, es-MX) or a neutral culture (e.g., en, nl, es). If omitted, or NULL, the default of 'en-US' will be used.

String

FormattingCulture

Returns or sets the default culture to use when formatting values in the configuration. The designation may be a specific culture (e.g. en-US, nl-NL, es-MX) or a neutral culture (e.g., en, nl, es). If omitted, or NULL, the default of 'en-US' will be used.

Inheritance

ConfigParameters

The ConfigParameters class represents contextual information needed by the integration libraries for the Web Configurator Service.

Description

ConfigHeader

Header

Returns or sets the header (type and id) of the record in the host system being configured.

Inheritance

ParametersBase

The ParametersBase class is the base class for the parameters types that are passed in to various methods on the service. All parameters-derived types have the parameters listed below.

Properties

Property

Description

bool

OmitConfigurationXmlFromResult

Returns or sets whether or not the configuration xml should be omitted from the result object.

In general, the various methods that interact with the service will cause the configuration XML to be returned to the caller each time. It can be bandwidth and processing intensive to recreate the XML for each call. By setting this property to True, those steps will be skipped resulting in less data being transmitted and less server-side processing.

OperationsBehaviors

OperationBehaviors

This property is used to provide additional contextual behaviors to the service call. Provide an instance of the OperationBehaviors class with properties set to identify whether the configuration should be saved (via the Stateless services) or whether a StateGraph should be returned with the result of the web service call.

DiagnosticOutput

DiagnosticOutput

Specifies the type of diagnostic information that should be returned as a result of the service call.

Available values include:

  • None

  • RulesExecuted

  • RulesMessages

  • RulesChanges

This provides access to the rules that were executed along with their associated messages and changes. If set to a value other than None, the DiagnosticData property of the various Result objects will be populated.

bool

ValidateRequiredProperties

Returns or sets a value indicating whether the configuration should be validated for required Property values. The default value is true.

Returns

CreateConfigurationResult

An instance of CreateConfigurationResultis returned by the CreateConfigurationFromCopy, CreateConfigurationFromModel, and CreateConfigurationFromXML methods. It does not contain any unique properties.

Inheritance

ConfigurationResult

The returned ConfigurationResult object contains general information about the configuration. It is a base class inherited many of the "result" objects, such as SaveConfigurationResult or CreateConfigurationResult.

Properties

Data Type

Property

Description

ConfigHeader

Header

Returns or sets the Config Header (ID + entity type).

ConfigurationResultCode

ResultCode

 

Possible Values:

  • Success

  • Failure

Returns or sets whether the operation was successful and without errors.

ConfigurationResultMessage[]

ResultMessages

Returns or sets resulting messages from the configuration action.

ConfigurationFailureCode

FailureCode

 

Possible Values:

  • None

  • SiteUnderMaintenance

  • CompatEngineNotInitialized

  • ServiceDisabled

  • InvalidArgument

  • InvalidOperation

In the event the ResultCode is Failure, returns a code identifying the type of failure

int

LineItemId

Returns or sets the line item id of the configuration. This is valid when the ConfigResult instance is a result of the IWebConfig.SaveConfiguration() or the IWebConfig.FixConfiguration() methods, otherwise the value is -1.

Configuration

Configuration

Returns or sets a Configuration object containing various properties relating to the current configuration. This will only ever be assigned if the Configuration is relevant to the operation that was executed.

ConfigurationStateGraphBase

StateGraph

Returns or sets a StateGraph object containing various properties relating to the current configuration. This will only ever be assigned if the ConfigParameters.OperationBehaviors.StateGraphParameters property is provided on the request.

DiagnosticData

DiagnosticData

Returns the DiagnosticData associated with the operation. This will only ever be assigned if theConfigParameters.DiagnosticOutput property is provided on the request.

SessionContext

SessionContext

Returns a SessionContext object containing server-side properties that pertain to the current configuration session.
