When exchanging documents, partners typically identify themselves within a document using some well-known ID scheme, such as a D-U-N-S number. If you know a partner's internal ID, use this service to get the external ID you need.To retrieve the ID types from the IDType table in the Trading Networks database, use the wm.tn.dictionary:addIDType service. The wm.tn.dictionary:addIDType service returns a Hashtable of all types of IDs known to Trading Networks. The value of idType must be one of the keys from this Hashtable. For more information, see wm.tn.dictionary:addIDType.Supply a value for either idTypeDesc or idTypeCode. If you supply values for both of these parameters, the service uses idTypeCode and ignores idTypeDesc.As of version 4.6, Trading Networks allows you to store multiple IDs of the same type for a partner. If the partner identified by the partnerID parameter has more than one ID of the requested type, this service will return the first ID in the database, which is usually the first one you entered. To retrieve all IDs of a particular type for a partner, use the wm.tn.profile:getExternalIDs service.
