Retrieving Descriptor of Limits

Use the get-limit-descriptor operation to retrieve limits descriptor of add-on plans. For details on the limits descriptors, refer to the Representation of Object Descriptors section. For details on limits of service plans, refer to the Limits section.

Request Packet Structure

A request XML packet retrieving add-on plan limits includes the get-limit-descriptor operation node:

<packet>
<service-plan-addon>
   <get-limit-descriptor>
   ...
   </get-limit-descriptor>
</service-plan-addon>
</packet>

The get-limit-descriptor node is presented by type DomainAddonTemplateGetInputType (domain_addon_template.xsd). Its graphical representation is as follows:

• The filter node is required. It specifies a criteria by which add-on plans will be selected. Data type: DomainAddonTemplateFilterType (domain_addon_template.xsd). See the Available Filters section for details on this node.
• The owner-id node is optional. It specifies the ID of the add-on plan owner. Data type: integer.
• The owner-login node is optional. It specifies the username of the add-on plan owner. Data type: string.

Response Packet Structure

The get-limit-descriptor node of the output XML packet is of type DomainAddonTemplateDescriptorOutput (domain_addon_template.xsd) which is structured as follows:

• The result node is required. It wraps the result of the requested get-limit-descriptor operation. Data type: ResultFilterType (common.xsd).
• The status node is required. It returns the execution status of the get-limit-descriptor operation. Data type: result_status (common.xsd). Allowed values: ok|error.
• The errcode node is optional. Is used to return the error code when the get-limit-descriptor operation fails. Data type: unsignedInt.
• The errtext node is optional. Can be used to return an error message if the get-limit-descriptor operation fails. Data type: string.
• The id node is optional. It is required if the operation succeeds and the results are filtered by ID. It returns an ID of the add-on plan which limits descriptor was displayed. Data type: id_type (common.xsd).
• The name node is optional. It is required if the operation succeeds and the results are filtered by name. It returns a name of the add-on plan which limits descriptor was displayed. Data type: string (common.xsd).
• The guid node is optional. It is required if the operation succeeds and the results are filtered by GUID. It returns a GUID of the add-on plan which limits descriptor was displayed. Data type: string (common.xsd).
• The external-id node is optional. It is required if the operation succeeds and the results are filtered by external ID. It returns the external ID of the add-on plan which limits descriptor was displayed. Data type: string (common.xsd).
• The descriptor node is required if the get-limit-descriptor operation succeeds. It specifies object descriptor. For details, refer to the Representation of Object Descriptors section. Data type: string.

  Note: This descriptor contains limits extensions. For details, refer to the Representation of Object Descriptors: Property Descriptor > Extension of Limits Descriptor section.

Samples

Retrieving limits descriptor

The following packet retrieves limits descriptor for a service plan:

<packet>
<service-plan-addon>
<get-limit-descriptor>
   <filter>
      <name>base_plan</name>
   </filter>
</get-limit-descriptor>
</service-plan-addon>
</packet>

Response:

<packet>
  <service-plan-addon>
    <get-limit-descriptor>
      <result>
        <status>ok</status>
        <name>1 Additional Gigabyte</name>
        <descriptor>
          <property>
            <name>max_site</name>
            <type>int</type>
            <writable-by>admin</writable-by>
            <label>limit__max_site</label>
            <extension>
              <shared>false</shared>
            </extension>
          </property>
          <property>
            <name>max_subdom</name>
            <type>int</type>
            <writable-by>admin</writable-by>
            <label>limit__max_subdom</label>
            <extension>
              <shared>false</shared>
            </extension>
          </property>
                ...
        </descriptor>
      </result>
    </get-limit-descriptor>
  </service-plan-addon>
</packet>

Note: Data structures that describe a number of properties are omitted to improve the readability of the sample.

A single filter can specify multiple plans, all specified either by ID or by name.

<packet>
<service-plan-addon>
<get-limit-descriptor>
   <filter>
      <name>base_plan</name>
      <name>quick_plan</name>
   </filter>
</get-limit-descriptor>
</service-plan-addon>
</packet>
