SOAP API Link Service

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 asset. The API will then be available to enable on the Details screen of 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 similar to those for a standard page. They are described in the Asset screens documentation. This documentation 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. Read the Asset screens documentation for more information about the Status, Future status, Thumbnail, and Details sections.

Interface settings

This section allows you to control which functions the SOAP API asset service will provide when enabled on a SOAP server.

To enable the functions for the SOAP asset service:

  1. Select Edit on the Details screen.

  2. Select the Enabled checkbox beside the function list you want to make available on the API.

  3. Select Save to make the selected functions available to use.

The Operations section below contains a full explanation of each function.

Operations

The operations that are managed by the SOAP API link service are as follows:

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

Elements - Parameter [Param Type] Description Min Occurs Max Occurs Type

MajorID [string]

MinorID [string]

The asset ID of the asset linking to the major asset (that is, the minor asset in the link, the Linked ). This parameter is mandatory.

1

1

simple

LinkType [LinkTypeValue]

simple

LinkValue [string]
