Determining facts for API calls
APIs identify Facts based on the attributes passed in the input.
To know which attributes are Facts
for an API, see the IBM® Sterling Order Management System Software Javadoc for that API. For
example, the Javadoc for createOrder
describes that EnterpriseCode is an
Organization Fact. So if createOrder
is called with EnterpriseCode = "E1", the
order will be created in E1's Colony Transaction shard.
Facts that are passed in the input of an API should all point to the same colony; that is, users must remain in the same colony's context during an API call.
Certain attributes can be passed in any API's input, even if the Javadoc do not categorize them as a Fact. In the case of ColonyID, Sterling Order Management System Software does not pass this attribute in APIs, but it is included in the following table because you can optionally implement the application to pass ColonyId. These attributes are identified as Facts only if the attributes are present in the header element.
Fact Attribute | Fact Type |
---|---|
ColonyId | ColonyId |
CallingOrganizationCode | OrganizationCode |
EnterpriseCode | OrganizationCode |
OrganizationCode | OrganizationCode |
APIs can also work
based on Primary Keys. For example, a user can call the scheduleOrder
API
with just the OrderHeaderKey in the input. The first two digits of
the Primary Key help the API identify which Colony it should act on.
