RouteAction

This service method invokes both catalog related functions and work item related functions. The argument to this service method is passed as a CDATA block under the payload element (Payload.xsd).

  • Payload Request — Payload.xsd
  • Payload Response — Payload.xsd

Encapsulating payload in CDATA block offers slightly higher performance as the payload is not parsed by the transport layers. The contents of the payload type attribute indicate whether the request is for catalog record action or work item action. The response XML instance is also encapsulated in payload element.

Attributes of Payload.xsd
Attribute Description
type Determines the type of payload contents. The type can be either mastercatalog or workitem. The default type is mastercatalog. Introducing the type attribute makes it easier to identify a request as catalog-related or work-item related without "looking" into the contents.
