Get Data

Send XML requests for the correct data and use the responses as required. To request any data, identify the type of request. Based on the type, the ID tag in XML request contains the identifier of the appropriate TDL definition name.

If the request is for a Report, the type of request is Data.  If the type is Data, the ID tag contains TDL report name.

If the request is for a Collection, the type of request is Collection.  If the type is Collection, the ID tag is TDL collection name.
