SOAP Web Services Enhancements in 2022.10
The following features and enhancements were added to the Web Services module in the 2022.10 release:
| • | Introducing Download Packaging Service Version 3 |
Introducing Download Packaging Service Version 3
This release introduces version 3 of the Download Packaging Service. Version 3 has a new search parameter LastModifiedDateTime in requests, which enables producers to import data about periodic updates into their back office system and make this data available to their end customers.
The parameter LastModifiedDateTime is optional and available for the following operations:
| • | getDownloadPackageQuery |
| • | getDownloadPackageCount |
| • | getFileQuery |
| • | getFileCount |
In a request, the parameter has the following structure:
<LastModifiedDateTime>
<value>2022-09-13T15:00:34+02:00</value>
<searchType>AFTER</searchType>
</LastModifiedDateTime>
Description
| • | value—The date and time value is used to select items based on when they were last modified. If no time zone is provided in the request, the search is carried out in the time zone of the FlexNet Operations database (Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)). This can be overridden by specifying a time zone in the request. When including a time zone in the request, the time zone should be specified as offset from GMT (for example, 2022-09-13T15:00:34+02:00). |
| • | searchType—One of the following values: ON, AFTER, BEFORE. |
The date and time in the response are provided in Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Note:The default value of the last modified field for getFileQuery and getFileCount, when the request payload is first loaded from the WSDL, does not show the timezone. You should add the required timezone to the parameter. Without a specifically stated timezone, the date will be treated as either PST or PDT (depending on which of those is in force at the time of the request.)
