Examples

PHP

For directions on how to set up the WSDL link, create "$token" and "$client", go to PHP Soap How-to.

    try {

      // CustNum for Customer to Copy  
      $CustNum="12345678";

      // $toMerchToken is setup with sourcekey
      // for merchant being copied to
      $NewCustNum=$client->copyCustomer($token, $CustNum,$toMerchToken);

    } catch(Exception $e)  {

      echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();

    }

Java

This example uses the Newtek Gateway Java library. For directions on how to install the library and create the token/client objects, go to the Java JAX-WS Howto.

    try {

      //CusNum From Customer to copy
      BigInteger CustNum = BigInteger("12345678");

      // toMerchToken is the token setup with a source key
      // for the merchant being copied to.
      BigInteger NewCustNum = client.copyCustomer(token, CustNum, toMerchToken);

    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Soap Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }

.NET VB

    Dim token1 As newtek.ueSecurityToken
            Dim token2 As newtek.ueSecurityToken

            token1 = Me.CreateToken("source key of the merchant1", "1234")
            token2 = Me.CreateToken("source key of the merchant2", "1234")

            Dim custNum As String
            custNum = "103125"
            Dim NewCust As String

            NewCust = client.copyCustomer(token1, custNum, token2)
            MsgBox(NewCust)

.NET C

For directions on how to set up the WSDL link and create the "token" and "client" variables, go to the C Sharp .Net Soap How-to.

    newtek.ueSecurityToken totoken = new newtek.ueSecurityToken();
                newtek.ueHash hash = new newtek.ueHash();
                string sourcekey = "NEW SOURCE KEY";
                string pin = "new pin";
                totoken.SourceKey = sourcekey;

                hash.Type = "md5";
                hash.Seed = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

                string prehashvalue = string.Concat(token.SourceKey, hash.Seed, pin);
                hash.HashValue = GenerateHash(prehashvalue);

                totoken.PinHash = hash;

                string CustNum = "89147";
                string NewCust;

                try
                {
                    NewCust = client.copyCustomer(token, CustNum, totoken);
                    MessageBox.Show(string.Concat(NewCust));
                }

                catch (Exception err)
                {
                        MessageBox.Show(err.Message);
                }
