Ping (Check Service Availability)

This is not a transaction as such but returns availability information about some of the services above.

As far as possible it is an end-to-end test (i.e. all external parties required to perform a transaction have been tested for availability as well).

With this information a client can pro-actively disable access to MotorWeb services rather than returning an error after a user attempts to perform a transaction.

The format of the text/xml response can be seen in the ping-1.0.xsd schema. The result contains a text description of the problem suitable for displaying to end users.

Ping

Check the availability of the services you have access to.

There are no parameters to this transaction. The list of services you receive will match those you have privileges to access.

This information is updated at most every minute - so there's no point in polling this transaction any faster than that.
