How do I view Transaction Assistant entries with the Kronos API?

Question

I want to use the Kronos Workforce Central API to view and edit queries in the Kronos Transaction Assistant.

I can login to Kronos by submitting an XML login request to /wfc/XmlService, but I haven't found any documentation for accessing the Transaction Assistant.

<Kronos_WFC version = '1.0'>
    <Request
        Object = 'System'
        Action = 'Logon'
        Username = 'SomeUsername'
        Password = 'SomePassword'
     />
</Kronos_WFC>

How do I retrieve Transaction Manager entries in Kronos WFC v6.3 with the Kronos API?

Answer 1

According to the Workforce Central v6.3 Timekeeping Developer's Guide (login required), you can retrieved failed XML transactions from the Transaction Assistant with <FailedXMLTransaction>.

FailedXMLTransaction Tag

The FailedXMLTransaction tag provides information about an XML transaction that has failed an attempt to process an XML request. It is used to retrieve or modify failed XML transaction information.

Note: This tag provides information for the Transaction Assistant.

You can use the Load action to view entries from the Transaction manager.

Load

Returns all failed transactions for the specified SourceName and TransactionType. You must specify at least one of these properties with the Load action; if you do not, an error is returned.

Return Value Type: Zero or more FailedXMLTransaction tags

Optional Properties: SourceName, TransactionType

The XML request below retrieves failed Pay Code Edits that were submitted by the Workforce Integration Manager.

<Kronos_WFC version='1.0'>
    <Request Action='Load'>
        <FailedXMLTransaction SourceName='WIM' TransactionType='Pay Code Edits'/>
    <Request>
</Kronos_WFC>

As for editing transactions, I unfortunately couldn't find any way to do this with the XML API in v6.3.
