Invoking the Web Service

To list the account types of an organization:

  2. Use the listAccountTypeRequest elements to set the account information, as listed in the table.
  3. Use the listAccountTypeRequest message and construct the input message by using the details specified in the preceding step.
  4. Invoke the listAccountTypes operation of the ArcotConfigRegistrySvc service to update the account type.

    This operation returns the listAccountTypeResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and the account types associated with an organization. See the following section for more information on the response message.

See the following table for more information on the elements returned for a successful transaction. Refer to appendix, "Exceptions and Error Codes" if there are any errors.
