The QBWCServer module is used to communicate with QuickBooks Web Connector from your application.

Syntax

InQB.Qbwcserver

Remarks

The QBWCServer class is designed to process requests from QuickBooks Web Connector and fire events that allow you to provide information to, and get information from QuickBooks Web Connector.

This allows you to create an application that can communicate with a remote copy of QuickBooks without worrying about directly accessing the machine where QuickBooks is running. For more information on the design of this approach refer to the Intuit website for QuickBooks Web Connector.

QWC Files

The first step in establishing a relationship between your application and a remote instance of QuickBooks is to create a QWC file. This file specifies information about your application its requirements, as well as the access you need. The CreateQWCFile method creates the QWC file which must be generated for each user of your application. The minimum required properties are:

• QWCFileInfoAppDescription
• QWCFileInfoAppName
• QWCFileInfoAppSupportURL
• QWCFileInfoAppURL
• QWCFileInfoFileId
• QWCFileInfoOwnerId
• QWCFileInfoUser

Once the file is generated the end user will obtain the file from your website, and you will assign a password for that user at that time. The password is not part of the QWC file but the user will provide this directly in QuickBooks Web Connector and it will be sent to your web application during the connection for verification purposes.

Request Processing

The class is designed with a server environment in mind. That is, it's typical that the class will be used in a web page, but is not required. However the HTTP request is received, it can be passed to the RequestData property. After passing the request data to the class call ProcessRequest method processes the request from QuickBooks Web Connector. Processing the requests will fire one of the events.

The class provides various events to interact with QuickBooks Web Connector. QuickBooks Web Connector will make a sequence of calls for any given session, and the events correspond to these calls. Within the events you control the response which dictates what QuickBooks Web Connector will do next.

A session ticket is provided so you can keep track of a particular session over the course of multiple calls. An example of a typical session:

1. ServerVersion fires. This allows you to provide an the version of your application. This is purely informational and does not need to be implemented.
2. ClientVersion fires. This provides version information about the QuickBooks Web Connector. It may be used to reject a connection based on minimum required versions, but in most cases no action would be taken in your code and the session proceeds.
3. Authenticate fires. This event allows verification of the user that is connecting. Here you will either accept or reject the connection.
4. SendRequest fires. Within this event you will supply a QBXML request that will be passed to QuickBooks.
5. ReceiveResponse fires. QuickBooks Web Connector returns the QBXML response from the request you gave it in the previous step, or error information about why the request failed.
6. CloseConnection fires. This is the last event in the session. You may provide a message that will be displayed in QuickBooks Web Connector, but in most cases you would not take any action in this event.

Preparing Requests and Parsing Responses

The SendRequest event requires that you provide a QBXML request. This can be generated using the other components in this toolkit. To do so, simply set the QBRequestMode property to rmOffline before making a method call. For instance: Customer customer = new Customer(); customer.QBRequestMode = CustomerQBRequestModes.rmOffline; customer.GetByName("John Doe"); e.Request = customer.QBRequestAggregate; In the above code the class is used in the same way you would use the class if you were communicating directly with QuickBooks with the exception that QBRequestMode is set to rmOffline. When the GetByName method is called instead of attempting to communicate with QuickBooks only the QBRequestAggregate property is populated. This QBXML aggregate should be passed to the e.Request parameter inside the SendRequest event.

Processing responses is similar. You will receive the QBXML response from the e.Response parameter inside the ReceiveResponse event. You may then pass the response to the QBResponseAggregate property, or InputQBXML method of other components in the toolkit. For instance: Customer customer = new Customer(); customer.QBResponseAggregate = e.Response; string myAccountNumber = customer.AccountNumber; Setting QBResponseAggregate and calling InputQBXML do the exact same thing. The class parses the response and populates the properties of the class.

Error Handling

There are two basic types of errors when dealing with QuickBooks Web Connector. The first are errors that originate from your application and are reported to QuickBooks Web Connector. These are driven by the actions you take inside events. For instance in the SendRequest event you may set e.Request to empty string to signify an error. QuickBooks Web Connector will see this and make another call and GetLastError will fire. GetLastError is fired when QuickBooks Web Connector is asking from error information from your application. Here you may provide details about the error.

The second type of error is a communication error between QuickBooks Web Connector and QuickBooks itself. When this happens QuickBooks Web Connector will make a call and ConnectionError will fire with information about the error received from QuickBooks.

Config Method (QBWCServer Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

CreateQWCFile Method (QBWCServer Module)

Creates a QWC file.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func createQWCFile(filePath: String) throws -> Void

- (void)createQWCFile:(NSString*)filePath;

Remarks

This method creates a QWC file on disk at the specified FilePath.

The QWCFileInfo* properties define the specific requirements of the file.

The following properties are required:

• QWCFileInfoAppDescription
• QWCFileInfoAppName
• QWCFileInfoAppSupportURL
• QWCFileInfoAppURL
• QWCFileInfoFileId
• QWCFileInfoOwnerId
• QWCFileInfoUser

The Overwrite property determines the behavior if the file already exists.

ProcessRequest Method (QBWCServer Module)

Processes the request.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func processRequest() throws -> Void

- (void)processRequest;

Remarks

This method processes the request. A request is made by QuickBooks Web Connector to your web based application. The request must be read from the HTTP context by your application and passed to the RequestData property.

After providing the request, call this method to process the request. The event which corresponds to the call made by QuickBooks Web Connector will fire and allow you to get or set information. Possible events that may fire when this method is called are:

• Authenticate
• ClientVersion
• CloseConnection
• ConnectionError
• GetInteractiveURL
• GetLastError
• InteractiveDone
• InteractiveRejected
• ReceiveResponse
• SendRequest
• ServerVersion

Only one of these events will fire, this is because QuickBooks Web Connector only makes one call at a time. The events provide a SessionTicket so that you can identify which events belong to which session.

After this method returns, the ResponseData property will be populated. You must then send the response in your code.

When sending the response you MUST set the Content-Type header to "text/xml".

Authenticate Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fired when the QuickBooks Web Connector authenticates.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onAuthenticate(user: String, password: String, accept: inout Bool, busy: inout Bool, noWork: inout Bool, sessionTicket: inout String, companyFile: inout String, updateDelay: inout Int32, updateInterval: inout Int32)

- (void)onAuthenticate:(NSString*)user :(NSString*)password :(int*)accept :(int*)busy :(int*)noWork :(NSString**)sessionTicket :(NSString**)companyFile :(int*)updateDelay :(int*)updateInterval;

Remarks

This event fires when the QuickBooks Web Connector attempts authentication.

You may use this event to accept the connection, reject the connection, postpone the update, or skip the update. The parameters are as follows:

User is the username that is presented by QuickBooks Web Connector.

Password is the password that is presented for the user.

Accept determines whether the connection request is accepted. The values of User and Password should be verified within this event to determine if the user credentials are valid. The default value is True.

Busy may be set to True to inform QuickBooks Web Connector that the application is busy and to try again later. The default is False. When set to True it is not necessary to set Accept to False.

NoWork may be set to True to inform QuickBoooks Web Connector that there is no work to process and to stop the update. When set to True it is not necessary to set Accept to False.

SessionTicket is a string value which identifies the session and will be available within other events. The class populates this with a GUID but you may choose to set your own value.

CompanyFile should be set to the full path to the company file on the system running QuickBooks which you want to work with. Leave this set to empty string to indicate that the currently opened company file should be used.

UpdateDelay allows you to postpone the update for the specified number of seconds. When set to True it is not necessary to set Accept to False.

UpdateInterval may be set to specify the interval in seconds at which the QuickBooks Web Connector will begin an update. If the user has enabled the "Auto-Run" option on QuickBooks Web Connector this will update the "Every_Min" field. Note that the user may choose to change the value. If the user has not enabled "Auto-Run" this is not applicable, but will not cause an error.

ClientVersion Event (QBWCServer Module)

Provides the QuickBooks Web Connector version information.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onClientVersion(clientVersion: String, requiredVersion: inout String, errorMessage: inout String, warningMessage: inout String)

- (void)onClientVersion:(NSString*)clientVersion :(NSString**)requiredVersion :(NSString**)errorMessage :(NSString**)warningMessage;

Remarks

This event fires with the version information for QuickBooks Web Connector.

In most cases you do not need to do anything within this event. If no action is taken the session will proceed normally. You may optionally set parameters in this event to return an error, warning, or version requirement. The parameters are as follow:

ClientVersion holds the version of QuickBooks Web Connector that is connecting to your application. For instance "2.1.0.30".

RequiredVersion specifies the required version of QuickBooks Web Connector. You may set this to a value like "2.0". This is the minimum supported version of QuickBooks Web Connector which you will allow.

ErrorMessage may be set to return an error to QuickBooks Web Connector.

WarningMessage may be set to return a warning to QuickBooks Web Connector. The user will be prompted to continue or cancel the update.

CloseConnection Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when the update session completes.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onCloseConnection(sessionTicket: String, responseMessage: inout String)

- (void)onCloseConnection:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString**)responseMessage;

Remarks

This event fires when QuickBooks Web Connector notifies your application that the update is complete. This is the last event to fire in a session. Parameters are as follows:

SessionTicket identifies the session.

ResponseMessage may be set to a message that will be displayed in the "Last result" field in QuickBooks Web Connector.

ConnectionError Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when QuickBooks Web Connector is unable to connect to QuickBooks.

- (void)onConnectionError:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString*)errorCode :(NSString*)errorMessage :(NSString**)companyFile;

Remarks

This event fires when QuickBooks Web Connector is unable to connect to QuickBooks. The event parameters provide the error details, and also allow you to specify an alternate company file to retry the connection with. If an alternate company file is not specified the session is ended. The parameters are as follows:

ErrorCode is the error code (HResult) returned by QuickBooks. This value is read-only.

ErrorMessage is the error message returned by QuickBooks. This value is read-only.

CompanyFile may be set to the full path of an alternate company file. If specified, the QuickBooks Web Connector will retry the connection to QuickBooks using this company file. Leave this parameter empty to end the session.

Error Event (QBWCServer Module)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)

- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

GetInteractiveURL Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when the URL for an interactive session is needed.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onGetInteractiveURL(sessionTicket: String, url: inout String)

- (void)onGetInteractiveURL:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString**)URL;

Remarks

This event fires when QuickBooks Web Connector requests the URL for an interactive session.

If you set the InteractiveMode parameter in the GetLastError event this event will then fire so that you may provide the URL for the interactive session. The available parameters are:

SessionTicket identifies the session.

URL specifies the URL for the interactive session on your site. This must be a secure (https://) URL.

GetLastError Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when QuickBooks Web Connector checks for error information.

func onGetLastError(sessionTicket: String, pause: inout Bool, interactiveMode: inout Bool, errorMessage: inout String)

- (void)onGetLastError:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(int*)pause :(int*)interactiveMode :(NSString**)errorMessage;

Remarks

This event allows you to report an error to QuickBooks Web Connector. It will be fired whenever QuickBooks Web Connector detects an error condition and asks your application for details. The parameters are as follows:

SessionTicket identifies the session.

Pause may be set to True to introduce a brief delay, after which QuickBooks Web Connector will retry the previous operation. For instance, the following sequence of events may occur:

• QuickBooks Web Connector makes a call and SendRequest fires.
• You set the Request parameter inside SendRequest to empty string.
• QuickBooks Web Connector determines the empty request as an error and makes a call which fires the GetLastError event.
• You set the Pause parameter inside this event to True.
• QuickBooks Web Connector reads the response and waits 5 seconds.
• QuickBooks Web Connector retries the previous operation and makes a call which fires SendRequest again.

InteractiveMode may be set to request interactive mode. When set to True the QuickBooks Web Connector will prompt the user to accept an interactive session. If the user agrees, QuickBooks Web Connector will make a call and the GetInteractiveURL event will fire. If the user declines, QuickBooks Web Connector will report this and the InteractiveRejected event will fire.

ErrorMessage may be set to any string which will be reported to the QuickBooks Web Connector.

InteractiveDone Event (QBWCServer Module)

This event fires when QuickBooks Web Connector checks to see if the interactive session is finished.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onInteractiveDone(sessionTicket: String, response: inout String)

- (void)onInteractiveDone:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString**)response;

Remarks

While the interactive session is open QuickBooks Web Connector will periodically poll your application to see if the session is finished. The response you provide determines if the session has ended or is still open.

SessionTicket identifies the session.

Response specifies whether the session has ended or not. Set this to empty string to "Done" to indicate the session has finished. Set this to any other value such as "Continue" to indicate the session is still ongoing.

InteractiveRejected Event (QBWCServer Module)

This event fires after a user rejects an interactive session.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onInteractiveRejected(sessionTicket: String, reasonMessage: String, responseMessage: inout String)

- (void)onInteractiveRejected:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString*)reasonMessage :(NSString**)responseMessage;

Remarks

This event fires after a user rejects an interactive session. After requesting an interactive session within GetLastError the user may reject the request. If the request is rejected this event will fire with the reason and allow you to send a message back which will be displayed in QuickBooks Web Connector. The parameters are as follows:

SessionTicket identifies the session.

ReasonMessage is the reason for the rejection as reported by QuickBooks Web Connector. This will be text like "User rejected interactive mode".

ResponseMessage may be set to a string that will be displayed as the "Last Result" in QuickBooks Web Connector.

ReceiveResponse Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when a response is received.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onReceiveResponse(sessionTicket: String, response: String, errorCode: String, errorMessage: String, success: Bool, percentDone: inout Int32)

- (void)onReceiveResponse:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString*)response :(NSString*)errorCode :(NSString*)errorMessage :(BOOL)success :(int*)percentDone;

Remarks

This event fires after SendRequest to provide the response of the request. The parameters are as follows:

SessionTicket identifies the session.

Response holds the qbXML response. This may be passed to the QBResponseAggregate property or InputQBXML method of other classs in this toolkit to parse the response. In the case of an error this parameter will be empty. This value is read-only.

ErrorCode holds the error code (HResult) returned by QuickBooks. This value is read-only.

ErrorMessage holds the error message returned by QuickBooks. This value is read-only.

Success indicates whether the request was processed successfully by QuickBooks. If this value is False check HResult and Message for details. This value is read-only.

PercentDone indicates the current progress to QuickBooks Web Connector. A value of 100 means there are no more requests to be processed for this session.

A positive value less than 100 indicates there is still more work to do in this session and QuickBooks Web Connector will make another call and SendRequest will fire again. There is no limit to the number of requests in a session, so you may continue to set this value to a positive number less than 100 to continue the session.

A negative value indicates and error and will cause GetLastError to fire.

The default value is 100, which indicates there is no more work to do for this session.

SendRequest Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when QuickBooks Web Connector asks for a request.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSendRequest(sessionTicket: String, companyResponse: String, hostResponse: String, prefsResponse: String, companyFile: String, qbxmlCountry: String, qbxmlMajorVersion: Int32, qbxmlMinorVersion: Int32, request: inout String)

- (void)onSendRequest:(NSString*)sessionTicket :(NSString*)companyResponse :(NSString*)hostResponse :(NSString*)prefsResponse :(NSString*)companyFile :(NSString*)QBXMLCountry :(int)QBXMLMajorVersion :(int)QBXMLMinorVersion :(NSString**)request;

Remarks

This event fires when QuickBooks Web Connector is ready to accept a request. The purpose of the event is to provide a request to QuickBooks Web Connector. The parameters are as follows:

SessionTicket identifies the session. This value is read-only.

CompanyResponse holds a QBXML response to a Company Query. This is automatically provided by QuickBooks Web Connector the first time this event fires for a session and may be passed to the QBResponseAggregate property of the Company class. This value is read-only.

HostResponse holds a QBXML response to a Host Query. This is automatically provided by QuickBooks Web Connector the first time this event fires for a session and may be passed to the QBResponseAggregate property of the Company class. This value is read-only.

PrefsResponse holds a QBXML response to a Preferences Query. This is automatically provided by QuickBooks Web Connector the first time this event fires for a session and may be passed to the QBResponseAggregate property of the Company class. This value is read-only.

CompanyFile specifies the path to the company file that will be used in the data exchange. This value is read-only.

QBXMLCountry is the country version of QuickBooks. For instance "US", "CA", or "UK". This value is read-only.

QBXMLMajorVersion is the major version of the qbXML request processor (QBSDK version). For instance if the qbXML specification version is "6.0" this value will be "6". This value is read-only.

QBXMLMinorVersion is the minor version of the qbXML request processor (QBSDK version). For instance if the qbXML specification version is "6.0" this value will be "0". This value is read-only.

Request specifies the qbXML request that will be sent to QuickBooks Web Connector. This may be obtained from other classs in the toolkit by setting the QBRequestMode property to Offline. See the help for QBRequestMode for mode details.

Note: If the Request parameter is left empty QuickBooks Web Connector will then make a call and GetLastError will fire. This approach may be used if you wish to return an error, request interactive mode, or introduce a brief pause.

ServerVersion Event (QBWCServer Module)

Fires when QuickBooks Web Connector requests the version of your application.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onServerVersion(version: inout String)
