Cylinder Validation Service

Overview

This service accepts a cylinder validation request to verify that a cylinder within the specified barcode is the specified location. A response will be sent back containing an error code and error message if the validation fails.

You can also force the cylinder's location to be updated in TrackAbout by setting the 'ContinueThroughErrorsAndSave' to true in the submitted cylinder validation request.

Service Protocol

TrackAbout has chosen to implement and architect this web service using what is typically referred to as REST style architecture. This is a resource oriented architecture that uses standard HTTP actions (i.e. GET, POST, DELETE, etc...) to manipulate resources exposed as URLs. Standard HTTP Status Codes are used for success and error codes.
