Questions in order (almost)...
Yes the Create operation will have to be called for each individual record they
want to create.
The difference between Get and Get List is Get returns 1 record and Get List
returns a set of records. You will want to use a Get List to return the list
of records for a qualification. I recommend you structure your result in the
following manner:
Root
Grouping Element (whatever you want to call it)
Field 1
Field 2
Field 3
Field 4
Field 5
Field 6
Field 7
Map the form to the Grouping Element instead of Root and set the MaxOccurs to
unbounded. The reason for the Grouping Element is that you can only have 1
Root element in an XML so this way you will return multiple rows.
Yes the Set operation will have to be called for each individual record they
want to create.

Subject: Web Service Get Operation
**
Hello All,
ARS 7.1 patch4
Win2003
SQL2000
I have created a web service for another system to consume. There are three
operations in the web service; Create, Set, Get. This web service will be
called from a .net web page. Users can create on or many records at a time from
the web page. Can I assume that the web service will have to be called for each
record?
When using the Get operation users will need to get list of records that are
assigned to them. I have created one element in the Input for the Get. This
element I have called Qualification. The web site will pass me the User Name
and Password of the user and the qualification i.e.; 'Assigned To' = "user".
There are seven fields in the output of the Get operation. The developer on the
.net side is having trouble getting the data back. He seems to think he will
need to call the web service seven times for each record that exists. He bases
this on the fact that when he tried to use the web service to retrieve one
record he only saw the first column in the output. He has asked me if there is
any way to pass all of the data in one record in one element in the web
service. As I am not that familiar with this technology so I am not sure how to
answer him.
When using the Set operation they will be 'approving' several records at a time
from a web site. Again, I assume they will have to call the web service for
each record. Finally, can someone explain the difference between the Get and
Get List operation? Thanks in advanced for any help.
