Rule: SearchResult
A Veloconnect-compliant server processes a SearchResult request as follows:
If the TransactionID submitted in the request is unknown, a SearchResultResponse with ResponseCode 420 is returned.
If the referenced transaction instance is not in state 2, a SearchResultResponse with ResponseCode 430 is returned.
The transaction context supplies the total number of hits, as well as a list of found articles; the hit list is not empty, otherwise the transaction instance would be in state 100. The start index submitted by the client is first modified as follows: If the number is negative, it is replaced with 0; if it is greater than or equal to TotalCount, it is replaced with TotalCount - 1. The number submitted via Count is then also modified as follows: If the number is negative, it is replaced with 0. If Startindex + Count > TotalCount, then Count is replaced with TotalCount - Startindex. The server can define an upper limit for Count, and replace Count with this limit if necessary. The upper limit must not be smaller than 50 or 2% of TotalCount. The current values of TotalCount, StartIndex and Count are saved in the SearchResultResponse element. The content of ResultFormat is also taken over.
If ResultFormat does not contain COUNT, multiple items in the hit list, beginning with Startindex (0-based), are handled as follows for Count:
If ITEM_DETAIL is contained in ResultFormat, an ItemDetail element is created as per Rule: GetItemDetailsList.
If ITEM_TYPE is contained in ResultFormat, an Item element is created from the item's master data
If ID_ONLY is contained in ResultFormat, the item number is used to create a SellersItemIdentification element.
The filled-out vcc:SearchResultResponse element is conveyed with ResponseCode 200 to the client.
The transaction remains in state 2 unless StartIndex + Count >= TotalCount, and the DoNotClose element in vcc:SearchResultRequest is not true.
