DataTools Kleber Method Description

Method:
DataTools.Enhance.Barcode.AusPost.Create4StateBarcode
Use this method to generate the Australia Post 4-state barcode numbers from a DPID

Test:

Parameter	Value
DPID
BarcodeLength
CustomerInfo
CustomerInfoEncodingMethod
AddLeadingZeros
Create00FccBarcode
RequestId
RequestKey
DepartmentCode

Input Parameters:

Parameter	Description
DPID	Delivery point identifier
BarcodeLength	Type of 4-state barcode you wish to create. Default standard 37 bar barcode. [Option Values]
CustomerInfo	Customer information to be embedded into extended barcodes. Customer information is ignored by Australia Post but useful for return mail scanning.
CustomerInfoEncodingMethod	Encoding method for Customer Information when using the 52 or 67 bar barcode lengths. Default Character encoding. [Option Values]
AddLeadingZeros	Add leading zeroes to numeric customer information. eg. the number 25 would scan as 00000025 for a 52 bar barcode. Default No. [Option Values]
Create00FccBarcode	Create a 00FCC barcode for records that have no DPID. Allows scanning of customer for non DPIDable return mail. Only available for extended barcodes. Mail still concidered as unbarcoded for mail sorting purposes. Default No. [Option Values]
RequestId	Optional user value to assist in linking DtRequests with DtResponses.
RequestKey	Required for user access verification. For client side script protect your Request Key by using the DataTools.Security.GenerateTemporaryRequestKey
DepartmentCode	Optional user value to allocate transaction usage by department. Limit of 50 unique Department codes per account.

Output Fields:

Field	Description
BarcodeNumber	Numeric version of the Australia Post 4-state barcode. One digit is returned for each bar of the barcode. Barcode font required for printing.
ReedSolomonCode	The Reed Solomon Error Correction Code.
ReedSolomonBar	Numeric version of the Reed Solomon Error Correction Code. The bars enable the barcode to be resistant to errors or erasures caused by faulty printing

Web Service Method: ProcessXmlRequest (SOAP)

Request Format: XML over SOAP, Protocols: HTTP POST, HTTPS POST, Response Formats: XML, JSON*
Example Server Path: https://customname.datatoolscloud.net.au/KleberWebServiceSoap/DtKleberService.svc
SOAP WSDL: https://customname.datatoolscloud.net.au/KleberWebServiceSoap/DtKleberService.svc?wsdl

Sample XML Request:
<DtRequest Method="DataTools.Enhance.Barcode.AusPost.Create4StateBarcode" DPID="" BarcodeLength="" CustomerInfo="" CustomerInfoEncodingMethod="" AddLeadingZeros="" Create00FccBarcode="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" />

Sample XML Response:
<DtResponse RequestId="" ResultCount="1" ErrorMessage="">
  <Result BarcodeNumber="" ReedSolomonCode="" ReedSolomonBar="" />
</DtResponse>

SOAP Envelope: The XML request is passed through a single parameter in the SOAP envelope <DtXmlRequest>. Where the development language requires the SOAP envelope contents to be defined manually, the additional step of encoding the Dt XML Request is required. The encoding required needs to transform "<" of the DtRequest to "<" and ">" to ">". See example below.

Sample SOAP Envelope:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <tem:ProcessXmlRequest>
      <!--Optional:-->
      <tem:DtXmlRequest>
        &lt;DtRequest Method="DataTools.Enhance.Barcode.AusPost.Create4StateBarcode" DPID="" BarcodeLength="" CustomerInfo="" CustomerInfoEncodingMethod="" AddLeadingZeros="" Create00FccBarcode="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" /&gt;
      </tem:DtXmlRequest>
    </tem:ProcessXmlRequest>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Batching Requests: Use the <DtRequests> (plural) tag to send through multiple requests in a single transaction.

<DtRequests>
    <DtRequest Method="DataTools.Enhance.Barcode.AusPost.Create4StateBarcode" DPID="" BarcodeLength="" CustomerInfo="" CustomerInfoEncodingMethod="" AddLeadingZeros="" Create00FccBarcode="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" />
    <DtRequest Method="DataTools.Enhance.Barcode.AusPost.Create4StateBarcode" DPID="" BarcodeLength="" CustomerInfo="" CustomerInfoEncodingMethod="" AddLeadingZeros="" Create00FccBarcode="" RequestId="" RequestKey="" DepartmentCode="" />
</DtRequests>

Sample Code:

* Add the additional input parameter "OutputFormat=json" or "OutputFormat=xml" to change the response format from default.
* Add the additional input parameter "callback" to convert JSON responses to JSONP responses for across domains support.
CORS header included where callback is not defined.
