The SOAP setup

The SOAP API Link Service asset manages the link functions of the SOAP Server including creating, deleting, moving and updating links.

To add a SOAP API Link Service, go to Web Services -> SOAP API Link Service. For the API to work, it must be created under a SOAP Server within the Web Services folder, as shown in the figure to the right. The API will then be available to enable on the Details screen of the SOAP Server, as shown in the figure below.

The SOAP API Search Service available on the SOAP Server

You can configure the settings of the SOAP API Link Service on its associated asset screens. The majority of these screens are the same or similar to those for a Standard Page and are described in the Asset Screens manual. In this chapter we will describe the Details screen, which is different for a SOAP API Link Service.

Details Screen

The Details screen allows you to configure the interface functions for the SOAP API Link Service. For more information about the Status, Future Status, Thumbnail and Details sections, refer to the Details Screen chapter in the Asset Screens manual.

Interface Settings

This section allows you to control which functions the SOAP API Link Service will be able to provide when enabled on a SOAP Server. The Interface Settings section of the Details screen is shown in the figure below.

The Interface Settings section of the Details screen

In the Function List, select Enabled for the functions you want to make available on the API. For a full explanation of these functions, see the Operations section below.

Operations

The operations that are managed by the SOAP API Link Service are as follows:

• CreateAssetLink
• DeleteAssetLink
• GetAllChildLinks
• GetChildren
• GetDependantChildren
• GetDependantParents
• GetLinks
• GetLinkByAsset
• GetLinkLineages
• GetParents
• GetParentsUnderTree
• MoveLink
• UpdateLink

See the sections below for more information on each of the operations available on this API.

CreateAssetLink

The CreateAssetLink operation will create a link between two specified assets. The parameters available for this operation are as follows:

• MajorID: the asset ID of the asset being linked to the minor asset (i.e. the major asset in the link, the Linked Parent). This parameter is mandatory.
• MinorID: the asset ID of the asset linking to the major asset (i.e. the minor asset in the link, the Linked ). This parameter is mandatory.
• LinkType: the Link Type value of the asset to create. For example, enter 4 to set the Link Type as a TYPE_3 link. For more information on the Link Type values available, refer to the Linking an Asset chapter of the Concepts manual. The default value for this parameter is 1.
• LinkValue: the value to associate with the asset Link Type.
• SortOrder: the sort order position that this asset should take on the Linking screen. The default value for this parameter is NULL. To specify a sort order position of 0, pass the value as a string inside quotes: "0".
• IsDependant: indicates whether the minor asset will be dependently linked to the major asset. The value for this parameter should be either 1 (true) or 0 (false). The default value for this parameter is 0.
• IsExclusive: indicates whether the minor asset will be exclusively linked to the major asset. An exclusively linked asset will only be able to exist under only one parent. The value for this parameter should be either 1 (true) or 0 (false). The default value for this parameter is 0 (false).
