XML Response Messages

An XML response message is sent by the SDS XML provisioning client in response to an XML request.

Each response message consists of a 4-byte binary length value, followed by the XML response in ASCII characters. The length value contains the number of bytes in the XML response, excluding the 4-bytes for the length.

The original XML request is included in the response only if indicated in the initiating request.

A rowset, contained between the <rset> tags, is only present if data is to be returned, such as in the <readSubscriber> and <readSubscriberNai> requests.

A generic response type can be generated if the XML request cannot be parsed, the request is not valid, and in some other cases. The response name of a generic response type is errorResp. The id field, if supplied in the original request, may be included if was possible to extract it, but this cannot be guaranteed, depending on the error condition.
