Numbers Data

Number_info

The number_info element is the top level element in files containing importable numbers. The number_info has the following elements.

Messages

The messages element provides error and information messages about requests for numbers that are submitted to the eLandings server. A request for numbers made to eLandings may not cause any messages to be created, but may be present in files received from eLandings. The absence of the messages element indicates that no errors or warnings apply.

Schema Version

The schema version data element allows the eLandings software to know what version of the schema the XML was generated for, if it is not the most current version. If the schema version element is not provided it defaults to version 1.0, the original groundfish release production schema. The contents of the schema version element corresponds to the version attribute in the <xs:schema> element of the schema, the top level element of the schema definition. Note that this is NOT the version attribute in the <xml> element that contains the schema definition. That attribute defines the version of XML, as specified by the W3C consortium.

Landing_report_id

The landing_report_id is the unique identifier for both landing and production reports. The actual number must be generated by the eLandings system. Multiple landing_report_id elements can be stored in a number_info XML document. This allows one request for number to return many numbers, which can be stored and used when generating landing or production reports.

Fish_ticket_number

the fish_ticket_number is the unique identifier of ADF&G fish tickets. When submitting a landing report to the eLandings system, this number must have been previously received from eLandings as an importable number. Multiple fish_ticket_number elements can be stored in a number_info XML document. This allows one request for number to return many numbers, which can be stored and used when generating landing reports.
