AddChangeOrder Example?

Anonymous — Wed, 29 May 2013 16:10:40 GMT

Does anybody have a working example of creating a change order via the API in 2013? (.NET)

I've been playing around but keep getting Soap Exception 106.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

The 106 error indicates that you are trying to call a method prior to signing-in as a user.

Hmm, well I thought I was logging in correctly but perhaps not.

Here's what I've got so far:

        Dim login As New UserPasswordCredentials("ellisws1", "Routing", "Administrator", "")

        Using serviceManager As New WebServiceManager(login)

            Try
                Dim myeco As ChangeOrderService
                myeco = New ChangeOrderService

                ' get the default routing 
                Dim workflow As Workflow = myeco.GetDefaultWorkflow()
                Dim routings As Routing() = myeco.GetRoutingsByWorkflowId(workflow.Id)
                Dim defaultRouting As Routing = routings.FirstOrDefault(Function(n) n.IsDflt)
                If defaultRouting Is Nothing Then
                    Throw New Exception("No default routing")
                End If

                ' get the next number in the default sequence 
                Dim numberingSchemes As ChangeOrderNumSchm() = _
                    myeco.GetNumberingSchemesByType(NumSchmType.ApplicationDefault)
                Dim defaultNumberingScheme As ChangeOrderNumSchm = numberingSchemes.FirstOrDefault()
                If defaultNumberingScheme Is Nothing Then
                    Throw New Exception("No default numbering scheme")
                End If
                Dim coNumber As String = myeco.GetChangeOrderNumberBySchemeId(defaultNumberingScheme.Id)

                Dim newCo As ChangeOrder = myeco.AddChangeOrder(defaultRouting.Id, coNumber, "test", "testing desc", DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1), Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)

            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error creating ECO")
                Return
            End Try

        End Using

The 106 error comes from the GetDefaultWorkflow function.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Don't new-up any of the Service objects. The WebServiceManager takes care of all that.

Replace the line

myeco = New ChangeOrderService

with

myeco = serviceManager.ChangeOrderService

That should get your farther in your code.
