General structure

Requests are sent in SOAP format as shown below. For brevity the rest of the documentation omits the SOAP wrapper and only displays the Alea:Document node and children.

Request

<Alea:Document xmlns:Alea="http://www.misag.com">
  <Alea:Request RequestID="001" Class="ClassType" Method="MethodType">
  ...
  </Alea:Request>
</Alea:Document>

This table describes the parameters:


Parameter	Description
`"http://www.misag.com"`	The namespace name "http://www.misag.com" identifies the namespace "Alea".
`RequestID`	Optional, identifies one special request
`ClassType`	Database, Cube, Dimension, Connection
`MethodType`	Depends on the chosen `ClassType`

Answer

The answer contains the requested information, an error message, or validates the request.

<Alea:Document xmlns:Alea="http://www.misag.com">
  <Alea:Request RequestID="001">
    <Alea:Return/>
  </Alea:Request>
</Alea:Document>

Error
