XML Request Batching

The Cisco CRS-1 Series XML interface supports the combining of several requests or operations into a

single request. When multiple operations are specified in a single request, the response contains the same

operation tags and in the same order as they appeared in the request.

Batched requests are performed “best effort.” For example, if there are operations 1 through 3 in the

request and operation 2 fails, operation 3 will be attempted.

Before combining multiple operations inside one <Get> tag, any operations that request multiple items

of data must be sent in a separate document. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Cisco CRS-1 Series

XML and Native Data Access Techniques,” “XML Request with Combined Object Class Hierarchies”

section on page 5-67.

The following example shows a simple request containing six different operations:
