Hi,
We are using http://<host>:<port>/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.1 - "Service_Realtime_DQ_Addr_check_Suggestions" to implement an Address Search functionality in a third party UI. I do understand that if I use this Web Service to search for addresses based on a Post code, it will bring back a list of address suggestions - But this will not be the complete list of all addresses and I will have to make multiple calls with Reply_1 filled up (based on the Suggestion_status) to drill down the hierarchy of addresses. For Example:
First Web Service Call : Search based on Post Code: B15 2EN.
The Result is: Suggestion status = 'A' and the Suggestion Count = 6 and the suggestion list as below:
2 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN - This is an apartment
12 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN - House
14 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN - House
16 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN - House
18 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN - House
20 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN - House
Second Web Service Call : Now, to get all the addresses corresponding to apartment "2 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN", I will have to make another call with Reply_1 = 1
The result will now be Suggestion status = 'U' and the Suggestion Count = 52 and the suggestion list with the 52 addresses listed as below:
Apt 1 , 2 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN
.
.
.
Apt 52 , 2 Langley Walk, Birmingham, B15 2EN
Question 1: Is there anyway I can merge Web Service Call 1 and 2 into one single call - Basically I do not want to make multiple round trips..I would like to get all the addresses listed out in one call (In the example I have provided above, My first call should bring back 5 + 52 = 57 Addresses in the suggestion list. (Similar to the QAS Address Search Web Service) - Please let me know if this is possible?
Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks.
Regards,
Arun
