GetMessages

Method

GetMessages(GetMessagesParameters parameters)

Retrieves all messages for the configuration that is in progress.

Parameters

The GetMessages method requires the parameters parameter of type GetMessagesParameters.

GetMessagesParameters

An instance of GetMessagesParameters is passed into the GetMessages method. It contains the contextual information needed to retrieve messages pertaining to the current configuration. It may be NULL to retrieve all messages.

Constructors

GetMessagesParameters()

GetMessagesParameters(string catId, bool onlyErrorMessages)

GetMessagesParameters(string[] catIds, bool onlyErrorMessages)

Properties

Data Type

Property

Description

List<string>

CategoryIDs

Returns or sets the list of Categories whose messages should be retrieved. Setting this to NULL will instruct the service to retrieve all messages for all Categories.

Bool

OnlyErrorMessages

Returns or sets whether error messages should be the only type of messages returned. Default is to return all message types.

Inheritance

ConfigParameters

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

Constructors

ConfigParameters()

ConfigParameters(ConfigHeader header)

Properties

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

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

GetMessagesResult

An instance of GetMessagesResult is returned by the GetMessages method. It contains retrieved messages.

Properties

Data Type

Property

Description

List<ConfigurationMessage>

Messages

Returns or sets a list of messages from the configuration.

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.

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.
