Transaction Service - GetArchetypeData

In a previous post, the GetData method of the Transaction Service was explained. An altogether more useful method is the GetArchetypeData method, taking any well-formed XOQL query and returning a dataset.

The input parameter must be encapsulated in a QUERY node (note the caps) in the namespace "http://elite.com/schemas/query".

Example:

<QUERY xmlns="http://elite.com/schemas/query">

[XOQL statement]

</QUERY>

An XOQL statement can be obtained from Utility3e's OQL Analyser by creating the query in OQL first, executing it and then copying the contents contained in the XOQL tab.
