Account Information Web Service

NOTE: This web service is not yet available in production.  We are currently testing the web service.  If you would like to test your applications against this web service, there are instructions listed at the bottom of the page on how to do so.

The account information web service will allow for other applications to query an account and receive information about the account and its attributes.  When a client hook queries the account information web service it will obtain an account "object."  This object will be represented in the client's native programming language.

 Project Strategic Goals:

  • Provide a universal means for unit applications to obtain information about accounts without manual end-user interaction
  • Provide a secure way to enforce financial data integrity throughout the Cornell campus
  • Enhance the functionality delivered to end users

 Requirements:

  • Any programming language that supports Web services and is able to integrate with CUWebAuth as a Web service client.  CIT currently has developed Kerberos support for the following languages:
    • Java
    • ColdFusion
  • A srvtab generated by Cornell Information Technologies.  If you do not already have a srvtab, you can obtain one here .
    • Once you have obtained your srvtab, you will need to register the path to it in your client code.
  • You will also need to register the name of our application server's srvtab in you client code as the remote principal.
    • The name of our srvtab is web-agent.app1a_uco.
  • The WSDL   for this Web service, which you will need for generating your client hook.

 What account information will be available?

  • Code - The account number.
  • Title - A short description of the account.
  • Account Balance - Not yet available.  This will return with a null value.
  • Account Balance Date - Not yet available.  This will return with a null value.
  • CDFA Agency Code
  • Delete Code
  • Department - This will be the first three characters of the account code.
  • FDP Code
  • Function - The function code attributed to this account.
  • Identification
  • OSP Number
  • Project Code - The default project code associated with the account.  Some accounts do not have specified default project codes.
  • Project Termination Date
  • Restriction Code
  • Source - The source code associated with the account.
  • Status - The life-cycle status of the account.  This will either be "pending", "active", or "closed."  For most business processes, transactions should only be applied against accounts that are "active."
  • Stop Code
  • Term Date Account Status
  • Termination Date
  • Type

 Want to hit the test service first?

  • A srvtab generated by Cornell Information Technologies.  If you do not already have a srvtab, you can obtain one here .
    • Once you have obtained your srvtab, you will need to register the path to it in your client code.
  • You will also need to register the name of our application server's srvtab in you client code as the remote principal.
    • The name of our srvtab is web-agent.eworkdev.
  • The WSDL   for this Web service, which you will need for generating your client hook.

    As always, this is a development application server and may sometimes be unstable.  Note: This test application server has scheduled downtime from 12 A.M. to 7 A.M., Monday - Friday, so the Web service will be unavailable then.

    Approximate service release date: May 2004
