  - Get Node
    Get a version of a node.
  - Delete Node

    Node import is a flexible, high-performance service for loading data into Advisor.
  - Node Export
    Export nodes.
  - Get Changed Value
    Get the value of a member, but only if it has changed since it was last retrieved.
    This is used as a quick way of retrieving a piece of data, but bypassing the read if the data has not changed since the last read.
    Call the service passing it a node version reference for the node, one for the member type, and optionally a timestamp when it was last retrieved or updated.
    If the data has changed since the timestamp, the service will return changed of true, timestamp set to ...

    Return a list of node versions.

    List the node types that the user has used recently.
  - List Contained Node Types
    List the node types that are in use within a package.

- User
  - Create User Extended
    Create a user.
  - Get User
    Retrieve information about a user.
  - Get User Details
    Retrieve information about a different user. The user making the call is identified as usual using the userLogonReference. The user about which details are to be returned is specified in userLogonReferenceDetails.
    The user running the service must be able to grant to the user, e.g. they must be the user, or have maintain-users permission, or own-users permission.
    This is similar to GetUser, but GetUser is used for sign on processing and only returns details of the user ...
  - Get Home Node
    Return the home node for the current user.
  - User Exists
    Indicates whether a user or user group already exists.
  - List Users

  - User Search
    Search for a user.
  - List Owned Users
    Return all the users over which the current user has own-users authority.
  - List Users By Email
    Lists users for a given email address.

  - Create Session
    Creates a Metrici session.
  - Create Proxy Session
    Creates a proxy user session within a given account. The session token and a client session token are returned.
    It does not create a proxy session if:
    - The caller is not authorised.
    - The account identifier is not passed or does not exist.
    - The caller does not have a proxy user in the account.
  - Query Session
    Determine if a session token is still valid.
    This does not sign in with the session token. Single use session tokens are not consumed by using this.

- Security
  - Run Authorized
    Run another service, after checking that the user has submit service authority.
  - Hash
    Returns a secure one-way hash of a string.
    It is astronomically improbable that two strings have the same hash, or that a string can be derived from a hash by brute force.
  - User Hash
    Returns a secure one-way hash of a string in a way that only the user can calculate. Use this so that a user can "sign" a string and later check that it has not been modified.
    It is astronomically improbable that two strings have the same hash, or that a string can be derived from a hash by brute force.
    The hash is sensitive to changes in the user setup, such as password change, so this should only be used for hashing strings as part of a short-term process.
    Use ...
  - Generate Keys
    Generates a public/private key pair, using the RSA algorithm, and 2048 bit encryption.
    Keys are returned in privacy enhanced mail (PEM) format.
    This is a very simple service. It requires no authorisation, and it returns no errors.
  - Create JWT
    Create a JSON Web Token (JWT), signed with a private key. The private key should have been generated with the GenerateKeys service, and is passed in as a PEM-format PKCS#8 encoded string.
  - Verify JWT
    Verify a JSON Web Token (JWT).
    The JWT is verified against a public key passed in as a PEM-encoded string.
    In addition to verifying the JWT signature, the service performs the following checks:
    - That the jwt has not expired. If passed, the clockSkew value can be set to a number of additional seconds to allow an expired token, to make up for clockSkew, or for the time taken for a token to be passed to a service.
    - The the JWT "aud" claim, if present, ...
- Theme
  - Get User Theme
    Return theming details for a user and/or a domain.
  - Get Themes

- File handling
  - Read User File
    Read all of the data in a user file and return it as a block of text. Optionally can access an entry within a zip file. Can return plain text or base64.
    The service runs without authority; if a user knows the storage key they are presumed to have authority to read the file.
  - Write File
    Write data out to a user file.
  - Get User File Info
    Returns information about a user file identified by a file storage key.
    
    By default this returns only an error number to indicate if the file storage key is valid and, if it is valid, the size of the file.
    
    Set the parameter contentType to true to return a contentType for the file.
    
    Set the parameter digest to a digest method (such as MD5) to return a digest of the content of the file. The list of permissible methods is available in the "MessageDigest ...

Description

Change the reference of a node.

This can be used to change the local reference of a node, move the node to a new package, or both.

Input

<ChangeNodeReference>
  <userLogonReference>userid</userLogonReference>
  <password>password</password>
  <nodeVersionIdentifier/>
  <nodeVersionReference/>
  <nodeReferenceNew/>
  <nodeReferencePackageNew/>
  <nodeLocalReferenceNew/>
</ChangeNodeReference>

The node the reference of which is to be changed is identified using nodeVersionIdentifier or nodeVersionReference; if both are given identifier takes precedence.

The new reference to use is identified using either nodeReferenceNew or a combination of nodeReferencePackageNew and nodeLocalReferenceNew. If nodeReferencePackageNew is passed, nodeLocalReferenceNew defaults to $auto. If both nodeReferenceNew and nodeReferencePackageNew are passed, nodeReferenceNew takes precedence and nodeLocalReferenceNew is ignored.

Output

<ChangeNodeReference>
  <errorNumber>0</errorNumber>
  <nodeVersionIdentifier/>
  <nodeVersionReference/>
</ChangeNodeReference>

The service returns the identifier and new reference of the node.

Errors

101 - Not authorised to administer the node.

102 - Not found

103 - Parameter error

105 - New node reference is not valid or you are not authorised to use it.

Permission errors in accessing the node are considered authorisation errors, but attempts to move the node into a package that the user is not authorised to use are considered user errors.
