External Keys

Each web service request must have external keys. The external keys have the following semantics:

Key	Meaning	Required
MASTERCATALOGNAME	The name of the repository which contains the records.	Mandatory.
PRODUCTID	PRODUCTID of the record.	Mandatory.
PRODUCTIDEXT	PRODUCTEXT of the record.	Mandatory.
RECORD_STATE	This key identifies the state of the record being searched. Valid values are ‘UNCONFIRMED’ (the default) or ‘CONFIRMED’. If the RECORD_STATE is set to ‘CONFIRMED’, the system looks for the latest ‘CONFIRMED’ record. If state is set to ‘UNCONFIRMED’, the system looks for the latest record including ‘UNCONFIRMED’ records, that is, if the latest record is an unconfirmed one, that would be returned. This is the default behavior, so if unconfirmed exists select it, otherwise return the last confirmed version.	Optional.
