Method: createPartNumber

Description

The createPartNumber operation adds one or more part numbers, either asynchronously or synchronously. By default, part number creation is asynchronous.

To use the Product Packaging Service to load unassigned part numbers asynchronously, the Importing Part Numbers alert must be configured. See the FlexNet Operations Online Help for instructions. Before checking whether the part numbers were really added, wait until after the import has triggered.

With synchronous processing, the Web services client will be blocked until the request is completely processed. Therefore, use synchronous processing to load only for small numbers of part numbers at a time. The Importing Part Numbers alert does not have to be configured to load unassigned part numbers synchronously.

Description

status

StatusType

Returns one of the following:

SUCCESS—If the request was synchronous, all of the part numbers in the request were processed successfully. If the request was asynchronous, SUCCESS means that the import request of part numbers was scheduled; this does not necessarily mean that the request was processed successfully.
PARTIAL_FAILURE—Some, but not all part numbers in the synchronous request were processed. The getCount and getQuery operations never return PARTIAL_FAILURE.
FAILURE—If the request was synchronous, none of the part numbers in the request were processed successfully. If the request was asynchronous, FAILURE means that the import request of part numbers was not scheduled.
