Our goal is to make this documentation usable above all other goals. If you have any suggestions to improve this document, please forward them to NetOps@ECGrid.com.
All parameters are required for each web service call. In some cases, default values may be used as indicated when a value itself is optional.
All data types are listed in Visual Basic format for simplicity.
Wherever necessary Strings are listed with their minimum and maximum lengths using the following format:
String(min,max)
If this String is fixed length, it is listed as follows:
String(len)
The following table describes the integer types used throughout ECGridOS.
| Integer | Size | Values |
Byte |
1 Byte | 0-255 |
Short |
2 Bytes | -32,768 through 32,767 (signed) |
Integer |
4 Bytes | -2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 |
Long |
8 Bytes | -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 through 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 |
Boolean true/false values are used within the system. Your system might interpret these as integer zero (false) and non-zero (true) values or some other way.
ECGridOS makes extensive use of Objects to return complex information, and to guarantee a consistent response format. Please familiarize yourself with the class structures used throughout ECGridOS.
When uploading and downloading files Byte Arrays are used: byte(). The .NET Framework automatically converts this data type into BASE64 encoding for transport. A convenient web site for on-line ASCII to BASE64 conversion is located at http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/.
