Response

The following XML is a sample response:

<autnresponse xmlns:autn="http://schemas.autonomy.com/aci/">
  <action>GETDOCUMENTSTATUS</action>
  <response>SUCCESS</response>
  <responsedata>
    <statuses>
      <status>Awaiting indexing.</status>
    </statuses>
  </responsedata>
</autnresponse>

The status element can contain one of the following values:

  • Awaiting import.
  • Awaiting indexing.
  • Indexing complete. - This status does not guarantee that a document is available from IDOL. The document could be queued for indexing, for example.
  • Unknown reference, or one still in the async queue, or one finished indexing sufficiently long ago. - CFS cannot report the status of a document if the document is waiting in the ingest action queue or if the document was indexed a long time ago. (To avoid unreasonable memory use, CFS keeps a list of the last 100,000 references in the "Indexing complete" state).
