Excerpt

Some of the service methods require or return a structure which is known as a Document. This structure is defined as follows.

Code Block

language	java

public class Document {
  //This represents the document ID
  String docID;
  
  //This represents the extension of the component
  String docType;
  
  //This represents the actual “data” which should be converted to a readable data by the //de-veloper
  byte[] data;

  //This represents the Component ID
  String compId;

  //This represents the size of the component
  String compSize;

  //This represents the response code of the server request
  String status;
}

The tia Webservice exposes the following APIs.

Parameter Description

Return codes / Return Type

Availability

ServiceCheck

String ServiceCheck(String ApplicationName, String UserName, String seckey)

This API may be used in order to check whether a service is available for an application.

This API returns the application name.

Note
Please note: In case an application is configured and deactivated, it will still return the application name.

ApplikationName: Application which is mapped against a specific Content Server.

UserName: Username which is delivered / provided by the client (Authentication should be handled at the remote end. Webservice itself doesn’t offer user authentication.)

(Optional) seckey: The seckey represents a signed ApplicationName. In case the security is enabled and the alias is specified, the seckey will be verified against the configured alias in the keystore.

Returns a string indicating whether web service is availble for the specified application name.

API available since version 1

serverInfo

int ContentServerInfo(String ApplicationName, String UserName, String seckey)

API may be used to check whether configured content server is available. This API is equivalent to an SAP ArchiveLink Server Info-command. It returns a response code. Please refer to SAP Content Server HTTP Interface guide for more details regarding the response code.

ApplicationName: Application which is mapped against a specified Content Server.

UserName: Username which is provided by the client (Authentication should be handled at the remote end. Webservice itself doesn’t offer user authentication.)

(Optional) seckey: The seckey represents a signed ApplicationName. In case the security is enabled and the alias is specified, the seckey will be verified against the configured alias in the keystore.

200: OK

400: Bad request

Check if application is active
Check if specified application name is correct on both sides
Check if username is delivered by remote end

401: Forbidden

Check if seckey is valid
Check if instance is allowed to do serverinfo-requests
Check if the correct certificate is being used which is mapped against an alias and the common name (CN) contains the application name.

500: Internal Server Error
