Additional Information
You can update CBS Code with a Tree Structure.
getWBSStructure
Users will be able to update CBS codes with tree structure.
Use getWBSStructure service to get the CBS attribute structure. The retrieved structure can be used to update CBS codes; however, the retrieved structure XML is needed to be wrapped as follows:
<![CDATA[
<List_Wrapper> <!-- List Wrapper Added -->
<_bp_wbscode>
<wbs_code></wbs_code>
<wbs_item></wbs_item>
<description></description>
<costattribute></costattribute>
<external_refid></external_refid>
<owner></owner>
<status></status>
<cost_type></cost_type>
<exposed_to_p6></exposed_to_p6>
</_bp_wbscode>
</List_Wrapper> <!-- List Wrapper Closed-->
]]>
User can define a Cost Attribute Form in uDesigner. To send XML message to update Cost codes, the user has to send data using schema that is generated as output from getWBSStrucutre service.
If the project/shell CBS structure is in tree mode, or a parent / child relationship is required, the CBS code passed via the integration interface must concatenate the parent CBS code and child CBS code with "~~" as the delimiter.
If you have multilevel parent child relationship, you must pass in "~~" as delimiter at all levels to separate parent and child.
This service will only work for projects/shells with a CBS Cost Code.
