h2. Query DP balance

Queries the available DP balance. 

h3. Input Parameters

See "queryBalance":http://192.168.2.13:50000/dp_client_apidocs/com/ecosway/dp_client/DPServicesUtils.html

h3. Output Parameters

The return object, *TransactionResponse* consists of:

* *process* - Sales1

* *transactionId* - the unique reference that passed in by the caller

* *countryId* - the country ID that passed in by the caller

* *centerId* - possible value is *ONLINE*. It's used to differentiate if the caller are from POS system or online mall.

* *memberId* - the member/shopper ID

* *status* - the status of the transaction. If success, returns *0000*

** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible status

* *balance* - the available DP balance

* *errorCode* - the error code of the transaction. if success, returns *00000*

}

</code>

</pre>

h2. Release Sales Lock

To be able to release the *Sales Lock*, one must provide the same *transaction ID*, which being used to impose the *Sales Lock*.

And, this method will return success status regardless if there's *Sales Lock* or not.

* *centerId* - possible value is *ONLINE*. It's used to differentiate if the caller are from POS system or online mall.

* *memberId* - the member/shopper ID

* *status* - the status of the transaction. If success, returns *0000*

** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible status

* *balance* - the available DP balance

* *errorCode* - the error code of the transaction. if success, returns *00000*

** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible error code

* *errorMessage* - the detailed description of the error code 

** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible description

<code class="JAVA">

TransactionResponse dpResponse;

try {

} catch (RemoteException ex) {

  // do not ignore. either log the full stack trace or handle it

  LOGGER.error(ex);

}

</code>

</pre>

h2. Commit Sales

This method is used to deduct DP balance according to the provided amount. The [[Programming Guide#Impose-Sales-Lock|Impose Sales Lock]] must be invoked prior that. 

The *Commit Sales* and *Impose Sales Lock* could be invoked by 2 separate processes but both must use the same transaction ID.

This method will persist the transaction details into database.

h3. Input Parameters

See "performSalesCommit":http://192.168.2.13:50000/dp_client_apidocs/com/ecosway/dp_client/DPServicesUtils.html

h3. Output Parameters

* *process* - Sales2

* *transactionId* - the unique reference that passed in by the caller

* *countryId* - the country ID that passed in by the caller

* *centerId* - possible value is *ONLINE*. It's used to differentiate if the caller are from POS system or online mall.

* *memberId* - the member/shopper ID

* *status* - the status of the transaction. If success, returns *0000*

** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible status

* *balance* - the available DP balance

* *errorCode* - the error code of the transaction. if success, returns *00000*

** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible error code

h3. Code Snippet

<pre>

<code class="JAVA">

Connection dbConnection = DBConnectionFactory.createDbConnection("java:/DB2DS2");

TransactionResponse dpResponse = new TransactionResponse();

try {

	// impose sales lock before commit

	dpResponse = DPServicesUtils.imposeSalesLock(trxId, countryCode, shopperId);

	dpResponse = DPServicesUtils.performSalesCommit(dbConnection,

				trxId, countryCode, shopperId,

				trxDate, dpAmount, invoiceAmount);

} catch (RemoteException ex) {

   // do not ignore. either log the full stack trace or handle it

  LOGGER.error(ex);

} catch (SQLException ex) {

   // do not ignore. either log the full stack trace or handle it

  LOGGER.error(ex);

} finally {		

	if (dbConnection != null) {

	   dbConnection.close();

	}

}

// release the Sales Lock in the event of exception 

if (dpResponse == null || !"0000".equals(dpResponse.getStatus())) {

   DPServicesUtils.releaseSalesLock(trxId, countryCode, shopperId);

h2. Exception Handling Strategies

The APIs would throw the following exceptions:

* *RemoteException* - if there's any issue in communicating with the DP

* *SQLException* - if there's any issue in persisting or updating the event

* *unchecked exception* - e.g. NullPointerException. This is more like a programming errors so do not catch it for whatever reasons.

** _note: catch the *Exception* will catch both checked & unchecked exception_

The above exceptions should never be ignored, at least, the full error stack trace should be logged.
