Overview

This web service allows users to set the sort order of a skill within a skill group. The sort order can be set absolutely, or the skill can be moved up or down in the list.

Rate Limiting

In order to protect our servers from inadvertent service overuse or intentional attack, and to fairly distribute services to all our customers, we have implemented a rate limiting algorithm. When fully deployed, this new algorithm will cause services to either succeed with new warnings or fail with new errors when services are consumed at too high a rate. Programs that consume Projector services should be enhanced to handle rate limiting errors so that they can continue functioning properly. For more information please visit: Projector Rate Limiting Behavior.

Request Format

PwsSetSkillSortOrder Request

PwsSetSkillSortOrder
- serviceRequest: PwsSetSkillSortOrderRq
  - RequestId: Int32
  - SessionTicket: String
  - Direction: Int16
  - SkillIdentity: PwsSkillRef
  - SkillVersionStamp: Int32
  - SkipInactiveFlag: Boolean
  - SortOrder: Int16

Request Elements

Element	Data Type	Required?	Description	Sample Data
RequestId	Int32	No	Click here for more information.	`1`
SessionTicket	String	Yes	Click here for more information.	`AS2ttZnqHRZ7ij932OjHKQ==`
Direction	Int16	Either "Direction" OR "SortOrder" must be specified	If negative, skill is moved up one position; if positive, down one position. Omit to specify sort position absolutely.	`-1`
SkillIdentity	PwsSkillRef	Yes	This identifies the skill to be moved,
SkillVersionStamp	Int32	No	Version stamp for optimistic locking. Any time a skill or skill group is updated, this version stamp will be changed in the database. The PwsGetSkill service returns this value, and if echoed back here, and it does not match the current version stamp, that indicates that the skill group or skill data has been changed. The request will fail.
SkipInactiveFlag	Boolean	No	If set to "true", the request will skip the inactive skill in a skill group. Applies when using Direction to move the skill up or down.	`false`
SortOrder	Int16	Either "Direction" OR "SortOrder" must be specified	The order of a skill within a skill group. The base order number is 1.
