EliitmiqService

EliitmiqService.asmx

In many ways, this web service is similar to ItemInquiry web service. The difference is that EliitmiqService mostly uses PSQL transaction engine (Btrieve) while ItemInquiry mostly uses a relational engine. A transaction engine is fast if you only need to retrieve a few records by index. On the other hand, to access Elliott data through  a relational engine is not limited to index columns only so it is more flexible. Generally speaking, if you need to get item information that can be accomplished with Eliitmiqservice, you will likely  find that it is faster than the ItemInquiry web services.

 

ReadItem

This method is used to read one or multiple items, and returns corresponding item master records, invoice item records, price codes, and links. Unlike SearchItem method in ItemInquiry web service which only returns customer’s price, this method also returns price code table in addition to the customer’s price.

There are two modes of this method: transaction engine mode and relational engine mode. By default, this method uses the transaction engine. This method will use relational engine if all the following conditions are met:

1.      In your web service config file, the parameter “ReplaceEllitmiqWithSqlWhenPossible” is “Y”.

2.      Input “DetailLevel” is “B”, “BR”, “M”, or “MR”.

3.      Input ITEM_MFG_LOC and CustomerNo are both empty.

4.      Input CheckLastInvoice, CheckPriceCode, CheckImageLink, CheckSpecLink, CheckHomepageLink are all empty or “N”.

General speaking, if you try to retrieve one or few items’ information for each ReadItem method call, then the transaction engine will be faster than the relational engine. If you try to retrieve lots of items, then it is possible the relational engine can be faster. You need to test the performance threshold yourself. If you are not sure, then keep it with transaction engine and don’t change the “ReplaceEllitmiqWithSqlWhenPossible flag.

If you have a standard pricing set up in ITEM_PRICE field, then you can simply get this price in ItemRecord and display on your website. If you give different price to different customer, then you should pass the CustomerNo parameter and get the price information in CustomerPriceRecord. If you provide multiple level price break based on quantity, then you will have to calculate customer price based on PriceCodeRecord. You will also need to consider on sales price and display the lower price. Since the logic to calculate Price can be quite complicated, you are advised to discuss with Netcellent if you need to calculate price yourself based on PriceCodeRecord.

General speaking, if you have a separate catalog database (like in SQL) to search and produced a list of matched items, then you can pass this list to the ItemNoDataset to find out these items’ quantity, pricing information from the Elliott’s PSQL database.

Usage:

ReadItemResult = A.ReadItem(UserName, UserPassword, ItemNoDataset, StartingRecord, NumberOfRecord, DetailLevel, ITEM_MFG_LOC, CustomerNo, CheckLastInvoice, CheckPriceCode, CheckImageLink, CheckSpecLink, CheckHomepageLink)

Parameters UserID, Password and ExtraInput are not used at this moment.

 

Input Parameters

Parameter Name

Type

Detail

ItemNoDataset

DataSet

Required. This dataset contains a DataTable which has all item numbers to read. There is no limit to the number of items you can pass in ItemNoDataset.

StartingRecord

Integer

Starting record to extract from the ItemNoDataset. Unlike most .Net language standard that’s zero base indexing, this one uses one base indexing: for example if the value is 5, it will start will 5th record. If you pass 0, it will convert it to 1. You may use this if you choose to implement pagination on your web page.

NumberOfRecord

Integer

Maximum number of record to extract from the data set. Default to 999999999 records. You may use this if you choose to implement pagination on your web page.

DetailLevel

String

The value can be “M” (default), “MR”, “B”, “BR”, “E”, and “F”.

Different detail level returns different fields to ItemRecord. See “ItemRecord Structure” for more detail.

ITEM_MFG_LOC

String

Item manufacturing location. If you assign a value to this field, quantity information will be based on this location. If this field is not assigned or blank (default), quantity information will be based on item default location.

CustomerNo

String

This customer number is used to get invoice and price.

CheckLastInvoice

String

“Y”: Return invoice items to InvoiceItemRecord if input CustomerNo is not blank.

“N” or blank (default): Do not return invoices to InvoiceItemRecord.

CheckPriceCode

String

“Y”: Return price codes to PriceCodeRecord if input CustomerNo is not blank.

“N” or blank (default): Do not return price codes to PriceCodeRecord.

CheckImageLink

String

“F” or “Y”: Return file name only without the path to ImageLinkRecord.ImageLinkContent. You will handle the path in your own program (e.g. hard code).

“I”: Return path + file name to ImageLinkRecord.ImageLinkContent. The path is from webservice config file “ImageLinkPath” parameter. If your image link type setup is based on mapped drive path and all images are in one central folder, and you do not wish to hard code the path in your program, then you should use this option.

“P”: Return path + file name to ImageLinkRecord.ImageLinkContent. The path is getting from link type template. If your image link type setup is based on UNC path, then this is the proper choice.

“N” or blank (default): Do not return anything to ImageLinkRecord.ImageLinkContent.

CheckSpecLink

String

“Y”: Return spec links to SpecLinkRecord.

“N” or blank: Do not return spec links to SpecLinkRecord.

CheckHomepageLink

String

“Y”: Return the URL path of the URL link to HomepageLinkRecord.

“N” or blank: Do not return homepage link to HomepageLinkRecord.

 

ReadItemResult Structure

The values in link records SpecLinkRecord, HomepageLinkRecord, and FImageLinkRecord are “Resolved Link”, which contains the link type’s template. For example, if the SPEC link’s variable value is “ABC.PDF”, and the template for SPEC link type is “\\server\share\folder\@@VAR1@@”, you will get “\\server\share\folder\ABC.PDF” in link content.

The values in ImageLinkRecord are based on the value of input parameter “CheckImageLink”, as stated in the previous section.

ItemRecord Structure

This structure is the same as “ItemRecord Structure” in GetOneItemDetail method of ItemInquiry web service. Depending on the value of input “detailLevel”, it is possible that only some of the fields in the structure are used.

Unlike SearchItem method in ItemInquiry web services which returns a dataset, EliitmiqService implements ItemRecord as a fixed structure. Therefore, when you choose the detail level “F” (Full) or “M” (minimum), it will not result in significant saving on transmitted data size due to the nature of XML format.

When input detailLevel = “F” (full,) all fields are used.

When detailLevel = “M” (minimum,) only the following fields are used:

Code Example (VB)

The following sample code will read item “ITEM001” and “ITEM002” from location “01” and return the “F” (Full) detail that includes past invoice history of this customer, pricing based on customer number “CUS01”, images, spec and item links. But the price code table will not be returned. Price code table is not necessary unless you offer pricing based on quantity break.

 

Dim wsItemInfo As New webServicesgetitmiq.EliitmiqService

Dim Result As New webServicesgetitmiq.ReadItemResult

Dim ItemNoDataset As DataSet = New DataSet("ItemNoDataSet")

Dim ItemNoDataTable As DataTable = New DataTable("ItemNos")

ItemNoDataTable.Columns.Add("ItemNo")

ItemNoDataTable.Rows.Add("ITEM001")

ItemNoDataTable.Rows.Add("ITEM002")

ItemNoDataset.Tables.Add(ItemNoDataTable)

Result = wsItemInfo.ReadItem("", "", ItemNoDataset, 1, 2, "F", "01", "CUS01", "Y", "N", "I", "Y", "Y")

If Result.ReturnCode = 0 Then

    If Result.ItemRecord(0).ErrorStatus = "00" Then

        lblResult.Text = Result.ItemRecord(0).ITEM_NO

    Else

        lblResult.Text = "Item Not Found"

    End If

Else

    lblResult.Text = "Error Getting Items (Error Code " & _

            Result.ReturnCode.ToString & ")"

End If

 

 

ReadOneItem

This method is used to read one item, and returns corresponding item master record, invoice item record, price code, and links.

The difference between ReadOneItem and ReadItem is that ReadOneItem can only read one item at a time, while ReadItem can read multiple items. ReadItem method is a superset of ReadOneItem. Therefore, you can just use ReadItem method without needing to use ReadOneItem method.

There are two modes of this method: transaction engine mode and relational engine mode. By default, this method uses transaction engine. This method will use relational engine if all the following conditions are met:

1.      In your web service config file, the parameter “ReplaceEllitmiqWithSqlWhenPossible” is “Y”.

2.      Input ITEM_MFG_LOC and CustomerNo are both empty.

3.      Input CheckLastInvoice and CheckPriceCode are both empty or “N”.

We don’t believe there’s an advantage using this method with relational engine.

Usage:

ReadOneItemResult = A.ReadOneItem(UserName, UserPassword, ITEM_NO, DetailLevel, ITEM_MFG_LOC, CustomerNo, CheckLastInvoice, CheckPriceCode, CheckImageLink, CheckSpecLink, CheckHomepageLink)

Parameters UserID, Password and ExtraInput are not used at this moment.

ReadItemAllLocation

This method is used to read one item, and returns corresponding item master record, invoice item record, price code, and links. In this method, each location of the item will be returned to an element of ItemRecord() array.

This method is similar to “ReadOneItem” method except that “ReadOneItem” method only returns one location for the item. The main intention of this method is to retrieve multiple location’s quantity for an item with a single method call. In addition, this method does not support relational engine mode.

ReadSubstituteItem

This method will return substitute items of a given class. For example, if we have several brands of 60W CFL light bulbs to sell we may want to set up these items as a substitute class in ITEM_SUBSTITUE field so when customer order any one of these items that’s out of stock, we can suggest them to order another one in the same class that’s in stock.

To use this method, you must make sure “Substitute Item Control” is turned on in Elliott global setup, or you will get error code 13.
