Message structure
Messages are sent as a JSON string. The fields in the JSON object vary depending on the type of message, but they always include:
- audit information (createdBy, createdDate, lastUpdatedBy, lastUpdatedDate, etc.)
Entity messages, no matter the char type or action, will contain an entity field with details of the entity that the action was performed on. For instance:
"entity": {
"entityId": 3830,
"charTypeId": 1,
"template": {
"templateId": 1,
"templateName": "Feature"
},
"status": {
"statusId": 1,
"statusName": "Development"
}
}
Component entity messages are entity messages that are performed specifically on component records. The component char types can be identified in this table. A component char type is a record that cannot exist on it's own. It must exist as a child of another record. Therefore, there is an additional field on component entity messages called
rootEntity
. The root entity is the parent of the component record, and contains the parents char type ID and record ID:"rootEntity": {
"entityId": 3830,
"charTypeId": 1
}
Relationship messages will have fields for both the
parentEntity
and childEntity
such as:"parentEntity": {
"entityId": 3830,
"charTypeId": 1,
"template": {
"templateId": 1,
"templateName": "Feature"
},
"status": {
"statusId": 1,
"statusName": "Development"
}
},
"childEntity": {
"entityId": 2978,
"charTypeId": 3,
"template": {
"templateId": 1,
"templateName": "Rights In"
},
"status": {
"statusId": 1,
"statusName": "Active"
}
}
