Add Monitoring Registration

This function allows a customer to specify one D-U-N-S Number, along with active monitoring and notification profiles, and initiates the monitoring process for that organization.

The Monitoring Registration combines Monitoring and Notification Profiles with a specific D-U-N-S Number and initiates the Data Field Monitoring process. There are two levels of monitoring: change events only, or events with data layer included.

Update History

No modifications have been made to this data layer since the initial release.

What to do First

Feature Request

IMPORTANT: Please see the new Online Services Security Enhancement Release, effective November 09, 2020.

NOTE: As of August 22, 2014, for performance reasons, this function no longer performs a Product Availability check during the course of registering a D-U-N-S Number. As a result, it is possible for a registration to be successful, but later result in an unsuccessful state. An upcoming release will provide a method for viewing these cases.

Data Layer Entitlement

For customers in U.S. and Canadian markets, the API is provisioned for specific collections of products, reports, and/or features (collectively referred to as data layers) for production and trial usage. Entitlement is not required for testing in the sandbox environment.

  • This feature does not require entitlement for production and trial usage. While this component does not require entitlement, customers will only be permitted to monitor data layers to which they have been entitled.

For customers in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg markets, the API is provisioned as a specific set of data layers for production, trial, and sandbox usage.

  • This particular data layer is NOT included in the D&B Direct Onboard suite.

Specification

The Product Availability Lookup feature should be utilized PRIOR TO CALLING THIS OPERATION to determine if the D&B Direct product that will monitored is available for a given D-U-N-S Number.

NOTE: The default value for AutoRenewalIndicator is 'false', indicating that the registration will NOT be automatically renewed at the end of the current contract.

When monitoring the People data layer, a principal identification number (Principal ID) will be required by this operation.

NOTE: There may be additional request and/or response elements specified in the WSDL that are not applicable for D&B Direct customers. Data elements that are not listed on this page are currently unused by this operation.

Response Codes

Successful service requests will return a CM026 response code in the TransactionResult ResultID field, however, the registration will be set to a pending status until several asynchronous steps are completed. Otherwise, one of the D&B Direct standard response codes will be returned.

This operation may return the following response codes: CM001, CM002, CM004, CM009, CM011, CM012, CM023, MN001, MN002, PD003, PD005, PD016, PD017, SC001-SC009.

Use the List Monitoring Registation operation to determine when the additional asynchronous steps are complete, and for the success/failure of the registration (value in MonitoringRegistrationStatusText).

D&B Direct 2.0 API requests are provided on a metered basis; and may require entitlement prior to use in the production environment. In addition, a concurrency limit (QPS) is monitored to ensure that it is not exceeded. An error code will be returned in the event that a transaction is throttled.

Qualified usage (e.g., a successful response) is tracked and billed according to the terms & conditions of the customer's contract. The response codes CM000, CM010, PD002 and PD015 are considered successful. A built-in feature exists to prevent duplicate billing when multiple successful requests with the same criteria are submitted on the same calendar day (which is based on Eastern Standard Time [GMT-5]).

Operation-specific supplemental response code explanations:

Feature Notes

The EndDate for new registrations will be set to the last day of the current contract year. Registrations for customers with multi-year contracts will be extended each year for the duration of the contract only if the AutoRenewalIndicator is set to 'true'.

Active registrations, those with the AutoRenewalIndicator set to 'true' and not subsequently updated to 'cancelled', will be re-registered at the time of contract renewal by extending the registration EndDate to the last day of the contract year.

If the contract renewal occurs after the previous contract expires, the registrations will NOT be auto-renewed.

If registration is pending for more than 14 days, the registration will be placed in failed status.
