Checking the User Status

You must use the getUserStatus operation to know the current status of the user in the database.

This section walks you through the following steps for checking the user status:

Preparing the Request Message

The following table lists the elements of the getUserStatusRequest message.

Element

Mandatory

Description

userId/orgName

No

The name of the organization to which the user belongs.

Note: If the organization name is not passed, then the Default Organization is used for the operation.

userId/userName

Yes

The unique identifier with which the user is identified in the system.

userId/userRefId

No

The identifier used as a reference to track different operations performed by a user.

clientTxId

No

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

Invoking the Web Service

To check the user status:

  1. (Optional) Include the authentication and authorization details in the header of the getUserStatus operation. See "Managing Web Services Security" for more information on the header elements.
  2. Use the getUserStatusRequest elements to collect the user details, as listed in the table.
  3. Use the getUserStatusRequest message and construct the input message by using the details specified in the preceding step.
  4. Invoke the getUserStatus operation of the ArcorUserRegistrySvc service to check the user status.

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

Interpreting the Response Message

The response message, getUserstatusResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. The SOAP body includes the user details and status 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.

Element

Description

Header Elements

udsTransactionID

The unique identifier of the transaction performed by using UDS.

By default, the authentication token is valid for one day, after which you need to authenticate again.
