I. Messenger API functions as webservice

This set of functions is designed for sending and receiving SMS/MMS messages and for Inbox
operation in third-party clients. Each function comes in two variants: for UTF-8 and for
Windows-1256 encoding. The function parameters universal to all functions are underlined,
and you can see their full descriptions in the API parameters universal to all functions.
Messenger API uses SOAP services, so you need to add a Web Reference called
MessengerService to your project before you can compile the examples from this document.
The

is

You can also access the unsecured version of the Web Reference for Ooredoo Messaging System
at http://messaging.ooredoo.qa/bms/soap/Messenger.asmx
Please use the following code to initialize Messenger API before calling any of its functions:
MessengerSoapClient messenger =
new MessengerService.MessengerSoapClient("MessengerSoap");
// "MessengerSoap" - endpoint name in configuration file

I.1.

API parameters universal to all functions

I.1.a. customerID
The unique identifier for every customer in the Message Manager Platform database.

I.1.b. customerUserName
A user is the actual actor who uses the Messaging Platform services. A customer can have
several users who access the Messaging Platform services under the customer account. A
user does not have a balance of their own, when a user is sending messages, their customer
account is charged. Every user has a separate user name, a password, and can have a
separate set of originators.

I.1.c. originatorName
The originator is the name or number that the recipient sees as the signature for the
message received.

</soap:Envelope>

VI.1. Transforming MMS content into mm7 format and

sending the resulting mm7 file
The three pieces of code provided below show how to compile and send an MMS message
using the SendMMS function. The second piece details one of the methods (GenerateMIME)
mentioned in the first part, and the third piece details one of the methods (WriteToMime)
mentioned in the second piece.
First, the paths where to put the SMIL file and the MMS content are defined. Then the
GenerateMIME method uses the paths to generate the resulting mm7 file and save it to the
path specified. Then the FileStream method takes the mm7 file and transforms it into a
datastream to be transferred to the SendMMS function.
String mm7FilePath = "D:\\<some_folder_1>\\<some_folder_2>\\<mm7FileName>";
String mmsContentFolderPath = "D:\\<some_folder_1>\\<some_folder_2>\\";
GenerateMIME( mmsContentFolderPath, mm7FilePath );
Byte[] mm7data = null;

10/30

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(mm7FilePath, FileMode.Open,

FileAccess.Read))
{
mm7data = new Byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(mm7data, 0, mm7data.Length);
String mm7DataString = Convert.ToBase64String(mm7data,
Base64FormattingOptions.None);
}
Messenger.Messenger messengerService = new Messenger.Messenger();
SendMMSResult sendMMSresult = messengerService.SendMMS(mm7data);
The GenerateMIME method mentioned in the example above puts the SMIL file into the
mm7 file. The GenerateMIME method is detailed in the lengthy example below:
public static void GenerateMIME(String dataDirectoryName, string
outputFileName)
{
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
String sMonth = String.Empty;
String sDay = String.Empty;
String sYear = String.Empty;
String sHour = String.Empty;
String sMinute = String.Empty;
String sSecond = String.Empty;
String sMillisecond = String.Empty;
// Getting data for boundary string
int iMonth = dt.Month;
if (iMonth <= 9) sMonth = "0" + iMonth.ToString();
else sMonth = iMonth.ToString();
int iDay = dt.Day;
if (iDay <= 9) sDay = "0" + iDay.ToString();
else sDay = iDay.ToString();
int iYear = dt.Year;
sYear = iYear.ToString().Substring(2, 2);
int iHour = dt.Hour;
if (iHour <= 9) sHour = "0" + iHour.ToString();
else sHour = iHour.ToString();
int iMinute = dt.Minute;
if (iMinute <= 9) sMinute = "0" + iMinute.ToString();
else sMinute = iMinute.ToString();
int iSecond = dt.Second;
if (iSecond <= 9) sSecond = "0" + iSecond.ToString();
else sSecond = iSecond.ToString();
int iMillisecond = dt.Millisecond;
if (iMillisecond <= 99)
{
if (iMillisecond <= 9) sMillisecond = "00" + iMillisecond.ToString();
else sMillisecond = "0" + iMillisecond.ToString();
}
else sMillisecond = iMillisecond.ToString();
String sDt = sMonth + sDay + sYear + sHour + sMinute + sSecond +
sMillisecond;
String content_ref = "11351";
String smil_reference = "20412";
// Set up boundary string
String boundary = "--------" + sDt;

11/30

String[] files = Directory.GetFiles(dataDirectoryName, "*.smil");

String smilFileFull = files[0];
String[] a = smilFileFull.Split('\\');
int count = a.Length;
String smilFileName = a[count - 1];
// Writing data into mime-file
StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(outputFileName);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(smilFileFull);
try
{
// header generation
sw.WriteLine("Content-Type: multipart/related;");
sw.WriteLine("\t boundary=\"" + boundary + "\";");
sw.WriteLine("\t start=\"smil_reference_" + smil_reference + "\";");
sw.WriteLine("\t type=\"application/smil\"");
sw.WriteLine("Content-Id: <content_ref_" + content_ref + ">");
// smil inserting
sw.WriteLine("");
sw.WriteLine("--" + boundary);
sw.WriteLine("Content-Id: <smil_reference_" + smil_reference + ">");
sw.WriteLine("Content-Type: application/smil; name=\"" + smilFileName
+ "\"");
sw.WriteLine("Content-location: " + smilFileName);
sw.WriteLine("");
sw.Write(sr.ReadToEnd());
sw.WriteLine("");
//attachments inserting
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo( dataDirectoryName );
FileInfo[] fInfos = di.GetFiles();
String StringArray = String.Empty;
for( int i = 0; i < fInfos.Length; i++ )
{
if (!fInfos[i].Extension.Equals("smil"))
{
continue;
}
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fInfos[i].FullName,
System.IO.FileMode.Open))
{
if (fInfos[i].Extension.Equals("txt"))
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fs,
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1256));
StringArray = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
else
{
Byte[] ByteArray = new Byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(ByteArray, 0, ByteArray.Length);
StringArray = Convert.ToBase64String(ByteArray, 0,
ByteArray.Length);
}
WriteToMime( sw, boundary, contentType, fInfos[i].Name,
StringArray );

}
}
// footer generation
sw.WriteLine("");
sw.WriteLine("--" + boundary + "--");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Exception handling
}
finally
{
sw.Close();
sr.Close();
}
}
(the end of the GenerateMIME method description)
The WriteToMime method mentioned in the example above is responsible for putting the
media files into the same mm7 file. The method is detailed in the example below:
public static void WriteToMime(StreamWriter sw, String boundary,
String contentType, String contentLocation,
String stringArray)
{
sw.WriteLine("");
sw.WriteLine("--" + boundary);
sw.WriteLine("Content-Id: <" + contentLocation + ">;
" + "name=\"" + contentLocation + "\"");
sw.WriteLine("Content-Type: " + contentType);
sw.WriteLine("Content-location: " + contentLocation);
if ( !contentType.StartsWith("text"))
{
sw.WriteLine( "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" );
}
sw.WriteLine("");
int RecordsNum = 0;
int iRes = stringArray.Length / 76;
if ((iRes * 76) < stringArray.Length) RecordsNum = iRes + 1;
else RecordsNum = iRes;
String[] a = null;
a = new String[RecordsNum];
int j = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < RecordsNum; i++)
{
if (!(i == RecordsNum - 1)) a[i] = stringArray.Substring(j, 76);
else
{
int iLengthRemain = stringArray.Length - ((RecordsNum - 1) * 76);
a[i] = stringArray.Substring(j, iLengthRemain);
}
sw.WriteLine(a[i]);
j += 76;
}
}

VII. Getting SMS/MMS message status

To get statuses for both SMS and MMS messages, the GetSmsStatus function is used.
Actually, it operates with the message transactionID which does not depend on the message
type. The GetSmsStatus function returns the delivery status of the specified SMS/MMS
message.
The example provided below is the GetSmsStatus function prototype:
GetSmsStatus(SoapUser user, String transactionID, Boolean detailed)
The required parameter is:

customerID

userNamethe customerID

The unique identifier for every customer in the Message Manager Platform database.

customerUserName for the user for whom the list of originators is requested.

Languagethe language in which the client application is going to communicate with

the user.

userPasswordthe password of the user specified.

transactionIDthe unique identification of the transaction.

detailedBoolean value which defines if detailed statuses for multiple recipients are to
be show. It can be True or False.

An example of calling the GetSmsStatus function is provided below:

// send sms
SendResult sendResult = messenger.SendSms(
user, authResult.Originators[0], "test", "971505000001",
MessageType.Latin, DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyyMMddhhmmss"),
false, false, false);
// retrieve its' status
SmsStatus status = GetSmsStatus(user, sendResult.TransactionID, true);
Console.WriteLine(status.Result);
An example of responding to the GetSmsStatus function is provided below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<Statistics>xml</Statistics>
<Details>xml</Details>
<NetPoints>string</NetPoints>
</GetSmsStatusResult>
</GetSmsStatusResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
You can also use the HTTP_GetSmsStatus alias to call this function without using SOAP, by
the means of pure HTTP GET, as shown in the example below:
GET /MessageManager
Platform/soap/Messenger.asmx/HTTP_GetSmsStatus?customerID=string&userName=str
ing&userPassword=string&transactionID=string&detailed=string
HTTP/1.1

VIII. Receiving SMS messages

To receive SMS messages, the InboxProcessing function is used. With the help of the
operations with the list prefix SMS messages can be listed, when the actual texts of the SMS
messages are not returned. With the help of the operations with the fetch prefix SMS
messages can be returned in full, with the texts as well as all the other parameters. After the
SMS messages are fetched, they are marked as read.
The example provided below is the InboxProcessing function prototype:
InboxProcessing(SoapUser user, String operation, String messageId)
The required parameters are:

customerID

userNamethe customerID

The unique identifier for every customer in the Message Manager Platform database.

customerUserName for the user for whom the list of originators is requested.

Languagethe language in which the client application is going to communicate with

the user.

userPasswordthe password of the user specified.

operationthe operation to be performed with SMS messages. For receiving SMS

messages the operations with the list and fetch prefixes are used (see their
descriptions below).

messageIdthe unique identifier for the message, to be used for the fetch-id
operation only.

You can also use the HTTP_InboxProcessing alias to call this function without using SOAP,
by the means of pure HTTP GET, as shown in the example below:
GET /MessageManager
Platform/SOAP/Messenger.asmx/HTTP_InboxProcessing?customerID=string&userName=

Receiving MMS messages

To receive MMS messages, the InboxProcessing function is used. With the help of the
operations with the list prefix MMS messages can be listed, when the actual multimedia
contents of the MMS messages are not returned. With the help of the operations with the
fetch prefix an MMS message can be returned in full, with all the multimedia content, as well
as the subject and all the other parameters. After the MMS messages are fetched, they are
marked as read.
The example provided below is the InboxProcessing function prototype:
InboxProcessing(SoapUser user, String operation, String messageId)
The required parameters for the InboxProcessing function are:

customerID

userNamethe customerID

The unique identifier for every customer in the Message Manager Platform database.

customerUserName for the user for whom the list of originators is requested.

Languagethe language in which the client application is going to communicate with

the user.

userPasswordthe password of the user specified.

operationthe operation to be performed with MMS messages. For receiving MMS

messages the operations with the list and fetch prefixes are used (see their
descriptions below).

messageIdthe unique identifier for the message, to be used for the fetch-id
operation only. If there are several identifiers, they must be separated by semicolon.

You can also use the HTTP_InboxProcessing alias to call this function without using SOAP,
by the means of pure HTTP GET, as shown in the example below:
GET /MessageManager
Platform/SOAP/Messenger.asmx/HTTP_InboxProcessing?customerID=string&userName=

Fetching MMS messages available for the Inbox

The operations with the fetch prefix for MMS messages are:

fetch-all;

fetch-new;

fetch-id.

Please note that after any of the fetch operations is performed, the fetched messages are
marked as read.

IX.2.a.

Processing an MMS message request

An example of a typical request to fetch an MMS message (a request to fetch an MMS

message by ID is shown):
SoapUser user = new SoapUser();
user.CustomerID = 2;
user.Name = "q";
user.Language = "en";
user.Password = "q";
String operation = "fetch-id";
String messageID = "b7d7508c-0d68-4e0f-acaa-6f2ec27947e7";
Messenger.Messenger messengerService = new Messenger.Messenger();
XmlNode xmlResponse = messengerService.InboxProcessing(user, operation,
messageID);
An XML response for the request contains the content tag, which in its turn contains the
string which is a MIME-encoded zip file. The operation described below saves the zip file to
the hard disk, thus making the file available for the further operations.
//getting content as Base64 encoded String
XmlNode contentNode = xmlResponse.SelectSingleNode( "content" );
String contentAsBase64String = xmlResponse.InnerText;
Byte[] contentReceived = Convert.FromBase64String( contentAsBase64String );
//saving received file on disk
String incomingFileFullName =
"D:\\<some_folder_1>\\<some_folder_2>\\<some_filename>.zip";
using ( FileStream fs = new FileStream(incomingFileFullName, FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write) )
{
fs.Write(contentReceived, 0, contentReceived.Length);
}
UnZipMMS (incomingFileFullName);
You as a developer must implement some UnZipMMS method to be used to unzip the
previously saved zip file with the MMS content. Then the MMS content is available for the
further operations.
