Obtaining the local server time of a request

Overview

You can include the <timeStamp xmlns="xmlapi_1.0"/> element in your request to obtain the processing time for the request in milliseconds. Figure 5-3, Timestamp and software load request shows a sample of the <timeStamp xmlns="xmlapi_1.0"/> element and NFM-P-specific version commands used in a request.

Note: The server time for the request in the SOAP response header indicates when a request stream was opened. It does not indicate when a request completed.

You can insert multiple <timeStamp xmlns="xmlapi_1.0"/> elements for a SOAP message that contains multiple message requests. You can use the delta between the timestamp commands to determine the milliseconds required to execute the intermediate commands. See  Requests in XML message structure for more information about multiple requests.
