Setting Customer Account Properties

The set operation is used to update Plesk customer account settings.

Request Packet Structure

A request XML packet setting various settings for the specified customer account includes the set operation node:

<packet version="1.6.3.0">
<customer>
   <set>
   ...
   </set>
</customer>
</packet>

The set node does not have a separate type, it is nested within the ClientTypeRequest complex type (client_input.xsd). The set node has the following graphics representation:

• The filter node is required. It specifies the filtering rule. Data type: clientSelectionFilterType (client_input.xsd). For more information on filters, refer to the Available Filters section.
• The values node is required. It is used to specify the categories of settings that will be set to Plesk database. Data type: none.
  • The gen_info node is optional. It specifies a collection of general settings. Data type: clientSetGenInfo (plesk_client.xsd). See the structure of this node in topic General Customer Account Settings.

Response Packet Structure

The set node of the response packet is structured as follows:

• The result node is required. It wraps the result of the requested set operation. Data type: resultType (common.xsd).
• The status node is required. It returns the execution status of the set operation. Data type: string. Allowed values: ok | error.
• The errcode node is optional. Is used to return the error code when the set operation fails. Data type: unsignedInt.
• The errtext node is optional. Can be used to return an error message if the set operation fails. Data type: string.
• The filter-id node is optional. Returns the name or ID of a customer depending on a way of customer specification in the request packet. Data type: anySimple.
• The id node is optional. It is required if the set operation succeeds. Returns the unique identifier of the customer account just updated. Data type: integer.
