SOAP Responses

This section describes the structure of a response to the D&B Web Services Gateway (WSG) request.

In response to an action request, WSG returns an XML data structure that contains the results of the request.

Structure of a SOAP Response

The response message is returned in an XML element named after the action. For example, the getProduct action returns a response element named getProductResponse.

If a request is successful, a StatusInformation element is returned (as a child of the main response element) containing a Status element with a value of 13646.

If a request is unsuccessful, the response element named StatusInformation, contains a Status element with the value 13651, with accompanying elements.

Each Error includes:

• ErrorMessageCode A Code that identifies the type of error that occurred
• ErrorSeverityCode A Code to indicate the Severity of the Error
