MTOM Download Size LimitIn case the message "HTTP ERROR 500 - Internal server error" occurs, it is possible that the query is producing an MTOM file exceeding the size limit of 750 Mb. In such case it is recommended to refine the query.
-
Conformance to WFS Standard Operations "Remote resolve"Not implemented.
-
Conformance to WFS Standard Operations "Response paging"Not implemented.
-
Conformance to WFS Standard Operations "Standard joins"Not implemented.
-
Conformance to WFS standard operations "Temporal joins"Not implemented.
-
SortingSorting of the WFS response can be specified only within the WFS configuration. Currently, SortBy operator is not supported.
-
CountDefault ConstraintAs recommended in OGC WFS Profile best practices document, EAD has constrained the CountDefault parameter to a value of 200. Consequently, all WFS requests that do not specify a value for the "count" parameter will return at most 200 results.
-
Spatial FilterWFS and WFS-TE queries referring to an Airspace support the specification of a buffer area around the Airspace. Features located fully or partially inside the buffer area are retrieved even if they are not inside the Airspace. The buffer area is specified in nautical miles (NM) and it is mandatory to specify it, even if the value is 0 NM.
-
Temporal FilterWith reference to OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) Temporality Extension (OGC 12-027r3) AFOD does not implement the following use cases: Use case 1, Use case 2 and Use case 5.
-
Data ConsumptionThe AFOD services are exposed via a technical infrastructure (AIMSL). AFOD is implemented using a standard SOAP Web Services protocol. To avoid negative impact, when data usage is disproportionate and for extended periods, AIMSL is responsible for monitoring and limiting large amounts ____ of requests in short periods of time.
-
Normal ConditionsThe behaviour under normal conditions: - for sdd-wfs service, the Data Consumer sends the WFS or WFS-TE SOAP request and expects the corresponding SOAP response; the details of accepted requests are covered by SDD XML Primer section 2.3.6.2. - for SDDDownloadWebService, the Data Consumer requests via the EAD Service Desk the creation of parameter sets in order to define WHAT DATA should be downloaded and WHEN the download should be performed.You can find guidance on how to build parameter sets in the Operational User Handbook - Data User, which can be found in EAD Knowledgebase. For download jobs, using AIMSL file distribution, the user will be provided with functionality that: * Enables an AIMSL publish/subscribe topic for every subscribed user * Notifies subscribed users about any download job status changes and errors via the created AIMSL topic * Creates download and log files * Provides a SOAP endpoint, registered as AIMSL Proxy, which accepts a download identifier and returns the log and download file matching the given identifier. * Cleans up the created files and topics after the download. The details of accepted requests are covered by SDD XML Primer section 2.3.6.2.
-
Error Messages and Error HandlingAll SOAP responses provide feedback of type information, warning or error depending on the execution success.
-
Error Codes and Expected EffectsThe complete list of the SOAP response feedback is available in the SDD XML Primer document, appendix 6.3 Error, info and warning messages supported by SDD.

SDD Download Web ServiceThis request fetches exported AIXM 5.1 files, based on the defined parameter set.PROVIDER_SIDE REQUEST_REPLY
-
downloadAixmMessageFileRetrieves a specific download AIXM 5.1 XML file using a notifications process.The steps of the above-mentioned process are as follows: 1. When storing a new parameter set, the system automatically creates a "topic" within AIMSL per user who is specified as "Subscriber" for the download. 2. The specified user may subscribe to the appropriate topic and recurrently poll for new status of an active download job. For subscription, the generated aimsl:id from the previously created pull point must be used.3. The appropriate topic expression should be set as "sdd_download:<user_code_id>". 4. Once the system starts a regarding download job from the stored parameter set, every status change of the active download is notified to the topic. Possible values are QUEUED, PROCESSING, FINISHED, FAILED and CANCELLED. 5. When the status changes to FINISHED, the id of the created file is provided with the notification as the <downloadFileId>. It is needed to request the download result via WS operation downloadAixmMessageFile - see SDD XML Primer, section 2.3.2.2 "Download Operations".IDEMPOTENT SWIM_TI_YP_1_0_WS_SOAPMessages

Use of GML for Aviation DataThe GML Profile for aeronautical data is limited to 2D elements and includes only the features necessary for encoding geometries of type point, line/curve and polygon/surface (outer boundaries only). The following components of GML are out of scope for the AIXM GML Profile: Topology, Linear Referencing, Coverages. This additional GML component necessary to the ISO 19139 (gco /basicTypes.xsd), which is imported in the GML and AIXM metadata, needs additional types. These types are not included in this profile.
-
OGC Web Feature ServiceThis International Standard specifies the behaviour of a service that provides transactions on and access to geographic features in a manner independent of the underlying data store. It specifies discovery operations, query operations, locking operations, transaction operations and operations to manage stored parameterized query expressions.
-
SOAPSOAP is a messaging protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of web services in computer networks. It uses XML Information Set for its message format, and relies on application layer protocols, most often Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), although some legacy systems communicate over Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), for message negotiation and transmission.
-
XMLExtensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
