Account Update Query

Account Manager is an Elavon subscription Service that automatically updates the card status for Visa and MasterCard records on file. Merchants subscribing to this service who need to update a large number of stored card profiles can use AccountUpdateQuery.

AccountUpdateQuery returns the accounts sorted in descending order of date updated and can return up to 1000 accounts in a single request. If a request returns would return more than 1000 accounts, Converge will ‘page’ the data. The response of a query with more than 1000 results will automatically return ssl_date_updated. Pass this value as the ssl_search_start_date of another request to view the next 1000 (or fewer) accounts. For more information, see the sample flow for multi-page responses.

note

Whenever AccountUpdateQuery yields a status code result, Converge will send a summary report email to the merchant. This email will contain the old and new token values.

Multi-Page Response

You will have to handle queries with search parameters yielding more than 1000 valid responses using multiple requests.

  1. After sending an accountupdatequery with more than 1000 results in the list, the response will contain a ssl_next_page value. Take note of this value.

    <account_update_list>
    </token_list>
    <recurring_list>
    <list_count>1000</list_count>
    <ssl_next_page>2</ssl_next_page>

  2. Create a new AccountUpdateQuery request with the same parameters as the previous one apart from ssl_page_number

    <txn>
    <ssl_merchant_id>my_merchant_id</ssl_merchant_id>
    <ssl_user_id>my_user_id</ssl_user_id>
    <ssl_pin>my_pin</ssl_pin>
    <ssl_transaction_type>AccountUpdateQuery</ssl_transaction_type>
    <ssl_page_number>2<ssl_page_number>
</txn>

  3. Set the value of ssl_page_number to the value of ssl_next_page and then send the request.

  4. Converge will return another response containing up to 1000 more accounts.

For queries that yield more than 2000 responses, you will need to repeat the above process multiple times to navigate the entire multi-page response.
