MATRIXX Subscriber Management
MATRIXX Subscriber Management API
- About Subscriber Management API
  MATRIXX Subscriber Management API provides information about the MATRIXX Engine APIs, including functions, syntax, and result codes, and the MATRIXX Engine REST and Java API implementations.
- Subscriber Management
  The following information is an overview of the SubMan APIs and architecture.
- Object Management
  The following sections introduce how the various in-memory objects are managed.
  - Subscription Management
    The subscription management APIs include the messaging required to operate on the subscription object (MtxSubscriberObject), which is a primary object for MATRIXX interactions.
  - Group Management
    The group management APIs include the messaging required to operate on the group object. The APIs include the messaging and data elements required to create, modify, associate, and query objects directly related to the group.
  - Device Management
    The device management APIs include the methods and functions required to operate on the device primary object. They include the data elements required to create, modify, and query devices, to add and remove a device from a subscription, and to delete a device from the Subscriber database.
  - User Management
    The user management APIs include the messaging required to operate on the user object, which is a primary object for MATRIXX interactions. The API bindings include the messaging and data elements required to create, modify, and query users and associate a user with a subscription. A user can be associated with zero or more subscriptions and groups.
  - Balance, Meter, and Wallet Management
    The balance management APIs include the messaging required to operate on a balance, meter, or wallet object. The primitives include the messaging and data elements required to create, modify, associate, and query objects directly related to a balance or meter, including their thresholds.
  - Product Offer and Bundle Management
    The product offer management APIs include the messaging to activate, purchase, cancel, and modify catalog items. You can identify a product offer by its object ID or the external ID assigned during pricing plan creation.
  - Catalog Item Management
    You can purchase, query, and cancel catalog items using the SubMan APIs.
  - Billing Cycle Management
    Billing cycles properties are configured during global system configuration and managed using the SubMan APIs with which you can create or change a subscription or group billing cycle.
  - Time Zone Management
    When you change a subscription or group time zone using the SubMan APIs, the change impacts wallet periodic balances, billing cycles, and _glossary/purchased-item_cycle.html.
  - Pricing Management
    The pricing management APIs return information about all aspects of pricing, including catalog items, balance templates, product offers, billing cycles, life cycles, notifications and so forth. You can also get status information for the currently-loaded pricing.
  - Data Migration
    Use the data import APIs to import data for users, subscriptions, groups, and devices and to import catalog item purchase information for a subscription. For example, create a subscription with a final status and a LastActivityUpdateTime and link that subscription to other objects (group, device, user, product offer).
  - Rehoming
    Rehoming is the process of moving a user, group, device, or subscription from one sub-domain to a different sub-domain in a multi-domain platform.
    - Java Rehoming Process
      The rehoming process includes multiple steps.
    - REST Rehoming APIs
      The following APIs rehome devices, groups, and subscriptions.
    - Rehoming Error Responses
      subscr_care/r_rehoming_error_responses.html#reference_fxb_n2k_fxb__table_myk_n2k_fxb lists the ResultText included in the response if you try to rehome an object that does not comply with the documented restrictions.
  - RS Gateway Bulk Operations
    The process_bulk_csv.py script reads comma-separated values (CSV) files to perform bulk REST operations through the RS Gateway.
  - Object Validity End Time
    The validity end time indicates the time after which querying an object again may return a different definition of the object.
  - Purchased Item Cycle Alignment
    When purchasing a catalog item, you can specify if the purchased item cycle is independent or aligned to a billing cycle, balance cycle, or a different purchased item cycle. The cycle to which a purchased item cycle is aligned is the master cycle.
  - Offer Life Cycle Profiles
    An offer life cycle profile consists of a set of offer statuses, a set of policies associated with each offer status that describe behavior that can be executed in this status, and a set of transitions that can have conditions defined that can trigger a transition and actions defined that are executed after the transition is performed. Both offers and bundles can have an offer life cycle profile defined. Use offer life cycle profiles to customize the behavior of MATRIXX for your business processes.
  - Status Life Cycles
    A status life cycle is a collection of object states, policies, and transition rules that are defined for a specific object type. You can define a status life cycle for user, device, subscription, group, and offer objects to customize the behavior of MATRIXX for your business processes. For example, a device life cycle can begin with a provisioned status, transition to an active status, and finally transition to an inactive status.
  - Modifying Statuses
    Use the SubMan APIs to modify status values of subscriptions, groups, and devices. Status values are defined in object status life cycles.
  - Making Multiple Requests in One API Call
    You can perform multiple engine requests (MtxRequestMulti) using a POST call to the RS Gateway. For example, one request can create a subscriber, create a device, and associate the device with that subscriber.
  - SubMan Operation Search Terms
    In many of the SubMan API methods, you must specify a search term that identifies an instance of a specific object.
  - Getting Subclasses of MDC Definitions
    For each MDC definition, you can get a list of all classes that have that class as its base class.
  - Getting Subtype Code Values
    For each subtype, you can get a list of all codes and their values.
  - Adding Event Data in SubMan Requests
    You can pass data in SubMan requests in the MtxApiEventDataExtension MDC to be included in EDRs.
  - Working with Custom MDCs
    Custom MATRIXX Data Containers (MDCs) can stand alone or extend system MDCs or other custom MDCs. Use private MDCs to extend subscribers, devices, and purchased product offers with custom parameters. You can set values for these parameters in SubMan API calls within the <attr> element of the request XML in the REST APIs or in the Attr field of the Java APIs.
  - Message XSDs
    You can query the RS Gateway for XSD definitions for MDCs that can be used by third-party applications to validate their XML.
- SubMan API Reference
  The SubMan API reference includes SubMan API and MDC descriptions.
- REST API Management
  RS Gateway supports the REST API bindings for accessing subscriber data in MATRIXX Engine. RS Gateway consists of an rsgateway application and a set of REST APIs.
- REST API Reference
  This part describes how to use the REST API bindings to interface with MATRIXX Engine.
- Java API
  This part provides an overview of how to use the Java™ API binding for the SubMan v3 API as an interface to the MATRIXX Engine.

Java Rehoming Process

The rehoming process includes multiple steps.

Follow these steps to rehome subscribers, groups, devices, and users.

Start the rehoming process on the source engine using one of the following APIs.
- MtxRequestSubscriberRehomePrepare
- MtxRequestGroupRehomePrepare
- MtxRequestDeviceRehomePrepare
- MtxRequestUserRehomePrepare
For example, call MtxRequestObjectRehomePrepare (where Object is Subscriber, Group, User, or Device) to do the following:
- Collect all Object-related objects.
- Quarantine all objects.
  Routing information associated with quarantined objects is removed from the routing cache.
- Return Object information.
  All Object information is returned in MtxResponseRehome.
Create the Object on the target engine.
Call MtxRequestDatabaseRehome to do the following:
- Use the MtxResponseRehome information from the source engine and create the objects on the target engine.
  Note: When rehoming to the target sub-domain, the routing cache is updated to reflect the changes.
Clean up the information on the source engine.
Call MtxRequestDatabaseRehomeCommit to do the following:
- Delete the quarantined objects on the source engine.
