BizMerchant.RetrieveParent Method
The RetrieveParent method retrieves parent business information for a business unit.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function RetrieveParent(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal BusinessId As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveParent(
CUserAuth Caller,
string BusinessId
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveParent(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* BusinessId
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. The caller must have the prvReadBusinessUnit privilege to perform this action. See CUserAuth.
BusinessId
Specifies the ID of the business unit. This ID is specified by the platform and obtained at creation time.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the parent business information. The XML schema is described by businessunit.xsd.
Remarks
The method fails if the business unit does not have a parent business unit.
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
