Prerequisites for XML API
2. Prerequisites for XML API
XML commands should be posted to /XML2 to make use of the new interface using credentials of a user with 'XML
Control' access.
The new interface is based on capabilities that locks down a schema for each operation supported in that capability.
If a iCOMPEL claims to have a certain capability, it can be safely assumed that the XML commands will be accepted by
that version.
There are two types of capabilities:
Read-only, that just query data from iCOMPEL, and
State-changing, that change any data in the iCOMPEL
The new interface supports serial execution of multiple commands with a single invocation using a command list with the
constraint that read-only and state-changing capabilities cannot be mixed in a single list.
The 'Content-type' header must be set to 'text/xml'. The XML version 1 API's will continue to work on /XML but will be
deprecated in future.
