Issuing second-level SOAP requests

Some second-level SOAP methods perform a particular function with the data retrieved, using embedded lower-level methods. CT_EMail and CT_Export are second-level methods that perform this function.
These are the lower-level methods:

<CT_Get>

<CT_Redirect>

<attach>

<insert>

The <CT_Get> and <CT_Redirect> tags are used as described in SOAP methods. The <attach> tag is used to load a file. The file must be located in the <install_dir>\cms\html directory on Windows or <install_dir>/tables/HUB_Name/HTML on Linux and UNIX. You cannot use relative paths in the <attach> tag. The <insert> tag allows you to load the imbedded text into the retrieved (output) data stream at a point corresponding to its position in the XML request.
The following example shows how a second-level request might be used. This XML creates the file tabledata.htm, which is written with the data from prefix.xls. Next, embedded data is entered using the <insert> tag and a request using the <CT_Get> command is made. Note that this request has an ID value of "NTDATA", which will result in the data tag <XML id=”NTDATA”> being wrapped around that particular request data. The <CT_Redirect> command is used to reroute the request to http://services.xmethods.net:80/soap/servlet/rpcrouter, and a final request is made to insert the data from suffix.xls into tabledata.htm.
<CT_Export>
  <filename>tabledata.htm</filename>
  <request>
    <attach>prefix.xls</attach>
  </request>
  <request>
    <insert>                     
    <insertelement>
      <insertdata>
        This data has been inserted compliments of CT SOAP server.
      </insertdata>
    </insertelement>
    </insert>
  </request>
  <request id="NTDATA">
    <CT_Get>
      <userid>sysadmin</userid>
      <password></password>
      <object>NT_System</object>
      <target>*ALL</target>
    </CT_Get>
  </request>
  <request>
    <CT_Redirect endpoint="http://services.xmethods.net:80/soap/servlet/rpcrouter">
      <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
        <SOAP-ENV:Body>
          <ns1:getTemp xmlns:ns1="urn:xmethods-Temperature" SOAP-
          ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
            <zipcode>93117</zipcode>
          </ns1:getTemp>
        </SOAP-ENV:Body>
      </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
    </CT_Redirect>
  </request>
  <request>
    <attach>suffix.xls</attach>
  </request>
</CT_Export>
