CreateConfigurationFromXML

Method

CreateConfigurationFromXml(NewXmlConfigParameters parameters)

If using the provided Contracts DLL, this method is called by using the overloaded CreateConfiguration method and passing in an instance of NewXmlConfigParameters.

This method creates a new configuration for the specified header record in the integration system and initiates a configurator session. The configuration represented by the lineItemXml is appended to any configurations that may already exist for the specified header.

The parameters.LineItemXml should be rooted at the <lineitem /> element and should not have an id attribute.

Parameters

The CreateConfigurationFromXml() method requires a parameters parameter of type NewXmlConfigParameters.

NewXmlConfigParameters

An instance of NewXmlConfigParameters is passed into the CreateConfigurationFromXML method. It provides the necessary information to create a configuration from existing XML.

Constructors

NewXmlConfigParameters()

NewXmlConfigParameters(ConfigHeader header, string lineItemXml, int? lineItemId = null)

The NewXmlConfigParameters class is derived from the ParametersBase class and requires the following arguments to be passed into its constructor.

Properties

Data Type	Property	Description
String	LineItemXml	Returns or sets the configuration XML to use as the basis for the new configuration.
Int?	LineItemId	Returns or sets the configuration number to load.
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 (Inbound 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.
ConfigChange[]	Changes	Returns or sets and array of changes to make to the configuration.
Bool	IndividualizeChanges	If true, an implied instance of `UpdateConfigurationChange` is executed between each change and the configuration will be updated and recalculated between each change. If false, the configuration will not be updated between changes, improving performance but potentially introducing problems with rules logic.

Inheritance

ConfigParameters

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

Constructors

ConfigParameters()

ConfigParameters(ConfigHeader header)

Properties

Data Type	Property	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

Data Type	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.
