Fetching RiskMinder Database Attributes

The listArcotAttributes operation is used to fetch the user attributes that are used to store the user information in the RiskMinder database.

This section walks you through the following steps for fetching the user attributes supported by the RiskMinder database:

Preparing the Request Message

The listArcotAttributesRequest message is used to fetch the user attributes. The following table lists the elements of this request message.

Element

Mandatory

Description

clientTxId

No

Unique transaction identifier that your calling application can include. This identifier helps in tracking the related transactions.

Invoking the Web Service

To fetch the RiskMinder database attributes:

  1. (Optional) Include the authentication and authorization details in the header of the listArcotAttributes operation. See "Managing Web Services Security" for more information on the header elements.
  2. Use the listArcotAttributesRequest elements to fetch the user attributes, as listed in the table.
  3. Use the listArcotAttributesRequest message and construct the input message by using the details specified in the preceding step.
  4. Invoke the listArcotAttributes operation of the ArcorUserRegistryMgmtSvc service to fetch the user attributes supported by the RiskMinder database.

    This operation returns the listArcotAttributesResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and user attributes. See the following section for more information on the response message.

Interpreting the Response Message

The response message, listArcotAttributesResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. The SOAP body includes the user attributes for a successful transaction and the Fault response for an error condition.

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.
