Returns

InterconnectIDInfo Object

InterconnectID: Integer; The value assigned to a specific Interconnect request.
Created: Date; The date/time (UTC) the record was created.
Modified: Date; The date/time (UTC) the record was last modified.
Completed: Date; The date/time (UTC) the Interconnect was completed.
LastTraffic: Date; The date/time (UTC) of the last traffic between these trading partners.
ContactName: String(3,48); The name of a contact person for the request.
ContactEMail: String(6,48); The Email address of a contact person for the request.
Status: Short - StatusInterconnect ENUM; A numeric value representing the Interconnect's status.

Remarks

This method initiates an Interconnect Request. Based on previous requests and the type of Network that the ECGridID2 resides on, an expert system will determine if the Interconnect can be immediately activated or if it requires confirmation by the Interconnected Network.

Any Interconnects that move to a Pending status will be monitored by ECGrid NetOps until completion. To monitor the status of an Interconnect Request use InterconnectInfo() and InterconnectNoteList().

If the requested Interconnect already exists on the system, a Duplicate SOAP Exception will be returned.
