GetDevicePRLInformation

Returns the current PRL version for 2G or 3G M2M devices, which can help determine which devices need a PRL update request. (4G and GSM devices do not have a PRL.) The information is returned in a callback response; calls to this API will return an error if the account doesn't have a registered URL for the DevicePRLInformation callback service.

NOTE: This API is not supported for 4G devices.

Request Parameters

Parameter Type Description
DeviceList
optional*		 DeviceIdentifier A list of one or more devices for which you want PRL information.

Do not pass DeviceGroupName, DeviceCustomFieldFilter, or DeviceServicePlanFilter if you use this parameter. You can use GetDeviceList to get a list of all devices in the account.
Kind
required for DeviceList		 string The type of the device identifier. Valid types of identifiers are:
  • ESN (decimal)
  • ICCID (up to 20 digits)
  • IMEI (up to 16 digits)
  • MDN
  • MEID (hexadecimal)
  • MSISDN
Identifier
required for DeviceList		 string The value of the device identifier.
DeviceGroupName
optional*		 string The name of a device group, if you want to only include devices in that group. You can use GetDeviceGroupList to get a list of all device groups in the account.
AccountName
optional*		 string The name of the account that is associated with the specified device group and/or the specified device. If you have access to multiple billing accounts, you must specify an account name.
DeviceServicePlanFilter
optional*		 string The name of a service plan, if you want to only include devices that have that service plan. You can use GetServicePlanList to get a list of all service plans in the account.
DeviceCustomFieldFilter
optional*		 CustomFieldFilterObject The names and values of custom fields, if you want to only include devices that have matching custom fields.
Name
required for DeviceCustomFieldFilter		 string The name of the custom field. Valid names are CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, CustomField4, and CustomField5.
Value
required for DeviceCustomFieldFilter		 string The value of the custom field.

Allowed characters in custom field values:

  • Alphanumeric characters
  • / (forward slash)
  • SPACE
  • @ (at sign)
  • . (period)
  • , (comma)
  • : (colon)
  • - (hyphen)
  • _ (underscore)
  • ( (open parenthesis)
  • ) (close parenthesis)
  • [ (open bracket)
  • ] (close bracket)
  • # (number sign or hash)

* You can either specify up to 2000 individual devices with the DeviceList parameter, or you can run the request on all devices that have a specified account name, device group name, service plan name, or custom field value. You can specify an AccountName or a DeviceGroupName plus one or both filters to identify only those devices that match all criteria.

Response Parameters

Parameter Type Description
RequestId string A unique string that associates the request with the results that are sent via a callback service.

The ThingSpace Platform will send a separate callback message for each device that matched the request criteria, indicating whether the operation succeeded for that device and containing any requested information. All of the callback messages will have the same RequestId.

Callback Response Parameters

Parameter Type Description
CallbackRequest CallbackRequest Wrapper element for all callback elements.
Username string The username defined when a URL was registered for the callback service, or an empty element if no username was defined.
Password string The password defined when a registered for the callback service, or an empty element if no password was defined.
RequestId string A unique string that matches the RequestId returned in the synchronous response to the original API request.

A separate callback message is sent for each device that matched the request criteria, indicating whether the operation succeeded for that device. All of the callback messages will have the same RequestId.
Device DeviceIdentifier The device that was changed.
Kind string The type of the device identifier. Valid types of identifiers are:
  • ESN (decimal)
  • ICCID (up to 20 digits)
  • IMEI (up to 16 digits)
  • MDN
  • MEID (hexadecimal)
  • MIN
  • MSISDN
Identifier string The value of the device identifier.
Data CallbackData The data elements for this callback.
CarrierService CarrierServiceCallbackRequest Null for this callback service.
ExternalProvisioningChange ExternalProvisioningChange Null for this callback service.
PromoChange PromoChange Null for this callback service.
Usage DeviceUsage Null for this callback service.
SMSDelivery SMSDelivery Null for this callback service.
PRLInformation PRLInformation The device's PRL version information.
PRLVersion string The current PRL version of the device.
Fault SoapFault Information about any errors that may have occurred.
faultcode QName
faultstring string
faultfactor anyURI
detail
DeviceSuspendStatus DeviceSuspendStatus Null for this callback service.
Fault SoapFault Information about any errors that may have occurred.
faultcode QName
faultstring string
faultfactor anyURI
detail
Comment string Null for this callback service.
Summary SummaryReport Null for this callback service.
Status string Null for this callback service.
CallbackCount integer The number of times this callback message has been sent.
MaxCallbackThreshold integer The maximum number of times this callback message will be sent if it is not correctly acknowledged.
