These web services are in large measure isolated from eLandings active development to create a stable environment for third-party developers.Documentation on the public web servicesAn online site to download a limited set of the latest XSD files defining eLandings XML objectsAn online site to perform limited validation on XML objects produced by third party tools to assure valid eLandings XML structure
Due to limited resources, the eLandings team must limit the support we can provide. The eLandings team cannot provide:
eLandings program and/or system code (beyond limited examples if available)Modification and/or redistribution authorization of eLandings front end applicationsDirect access to the eLandings databaseWeb services for submission of Individual Fisheries Quota (IFQ) dataGuaranteed\timely system modifications. Requests must be reviewed, prioritized, and may ultimately be rejected
The eLandings team can provided limited support, as resources allow, for the following:
Third-party software interface debuggingThird-party generated XML debuggingThird-party technical guidance, when it cannot be found in the available online documentation
The eLandings import and export web pages and public web services are made available to the public in an "as is" state. The eLandings XML and XSD files may be freely distributed in a stand-alone state or within a third-party application.
The eLandings team has attempted to create general systems that meet the needs of a large user group. The eLandings teram ask that third-party developers limit their requests to general system improvements and bug fixes. Customizations designed to meet a small subset of the user group should be implemented within third-party applications.
The eLandings team recognizes that third-party developers will run into questions that they cannot yet be answer using the online documentation or through experimentation within the eLandings Training system. The documentation and system are constantly under active development. When these resources are exhausted, it is appropriate to direct questions to the eLandings email group, elandings@alaska.gov. Using this email group will help your questions reach someone who can answer your question. We would discourage initially contacting a specific eLandings team member as they may be out of the office or allocated to other tasks.
