Ledger API Reference¶

com/digitalasset/ledger/api/v1/active_contracts_service.proto¶

GetActiveContractsRequest¶

Field	Type	Description
ledger_id	string	Must correspond to the ledger ID reported by the Ledger Identification Service. Must be a valid LedgerString (as described in `value.proto`). Required
filter	TransactionFilter	Templates to include in the served snapshot, per party. Required
verbose	bool	If enabled, values served over the API will contain more information than strictly necessary to interpret the data. In particular, setting the verbose flag to true triggers the ledger to include labels for record fields. Optional
trace_context	TraceContext	Server side tracing will be registered as a child of the submitted context. This field is a future extension point and is currently not supported. Optional

GetActiveContractsResponse¶

Field	Type	Label	Description
offset	string		Included in the last message. The client should start consuming the transactions endpoint with this offset. The format of this field is described in `ledger_offset.proto`. Required
workflow_id	string		The workflow that created the contracts. Must be a valid LedgerString (as described in `value.proto`). Optional
active_contracts	CreatedEvent	repeated	The list of contracts that were introduced by the workflow with `workflow_id` at the offset. Must be a valid LedgerString (as described in `value.proto`). Optional
trace_context	TraceContext		Zipkin trace context. This field is a future extension point and is currently not supported. Optional

ActiveContractsService¶

Allows clients to initialize themselves according to a fairly recent state of the ledger without reading through all transactions that were committed since the ledger’s creation.

Method name	Request type	Response type	Description
GetActiveContracts	GetActiveContractsRequest	GetActiveContractsResponse	Returns a stream of the latest snapshot of active contracts. If there are no active contracts, the stream returns a single GetActiveContractsResponse message with the offset at which the snapshot has been taken. Clients SHOULD use the offset in the last GetActiveContractsResponse message to continue streaming transactions with the transaction service. Clients SHOULD NOT assume that the set of active contracts they receive reflects the state at the ledger end.

ListKnownPackagesRequest¶

ListKnownPackagesResponse¶

Field	Type	Label	Description
package_details	PackageDetails	repeated	The details of all DAML-LF packages known to backing participant. Required

PackageDetails¶

Field	Type	Description
package_id	string	The identity of the DAML-LF package. Must be a valid PackageIdString (as describe in `value.proto`). Required
package_size	uint64	Size of the package in bytes. The size of the package is given by the size of the `daml_lf` ArchivePayload. See further details in `daml_lf.proto`. Required

UploadDarFileResponse¶

An empty message that is received when the upload operation succeeded.

PackageManagementService¶

Query the DAML-LF packages supported by the ledger participant and upload DAR files. We use ‘backing participant’ to refer to this specific participant in the methods of this API. When the participant is run in mode requiring authentication, all the calls in this interface will respond with UNAUTHENTICATED, if the caller fails to provide a valid access token, and will respond with PERMISSION_DENIED, if the claims in the token are insufficient to perform a given operation. Subsequently, only specific errors of individual calls not related to authorization will be described.

Method name	Request type	Response type	Description
ListKnownPackages	ListKnownPackagesRequest	ListKnownPackagesResponse	Returns the details of all DAML-LF packages known to the backing participant. This request will always succeed.
UploadDarFile	UploadDarFileRequest	UploadDarFileResponse	Upload a DAR file to the backing participant. Depending on the ledger implementation this might also make the package available on the whole ledger. This call might not be supported by some ledger implementations. Canton could be an example, where uploading a DAR is not sufficient to render it usable, it must be activated first. This call may: - Succeed, if the package was successfully uploaded, or if the same package was already uploaded before. - Respond with UNIMPLEMENTED, if DAR package uploading is not supported by the backing participant. - Respond with INVALID_ARGUMENT, if the DAR file is too big or malformed. The maximum supported size is implementation specific.

PartyManagementService¶

Inspect the party management state of a ledger participant and modify the parts that are modifiable. We use ‘backing participant’ to refer to this specific participant in the methods of this API. When the participant is run in mode requiring authentication, all the calls in this interface will respond with UNAUTHENTICATED, if the caller fails to provide a valid access token, and will respond with PERMISSION_DENIED, if the claims in the token are insufficient to perform a given operation. Subsequently, only specific errors of individual calls not related to authorization will be described.

Method name	Request type	Response type	Description
GetParticipantId	GetParticipantIdRequest	GetParticipantIdResponse	Return the identifier of the backing participant. All horizontally scaled replicas should return the same id. This method is expected to succeed provided the backing participant is healthy, otherwise it responds with INTERNAL grpc error. daml-on-sql: returns an identifier supplied on command line at launch time daml-on-kv-ledger: as above canton: returns globally unique identifier of the backing participant
ListKnownParties	ListKnownPartiesRequest	ListKnownPartiesResponse	List the parties known by the backing participant. The list returned contains parties whose ledger access is facilitated by backing participant and the ones maintained elsewhere. This request will always succeed.
AllocateParty	AllocatePartyRequest	AllocatePartyResponse	Adds a new party to the set managed by the backing participant. Caller specifies a party identifier suggestion, the actual identifier allocated might be different and is implementation specific. This call may: - Succeed, in which case the actual allocated identifier is visible in the response. - Respond with UNIMPLEMENTED if synchronous party allocation is not supported by the backing participant. - Respond with INVALID_ARGUMENT if the provided hint and/or display name is invalid on the given ledger (see below). daml-on-sql: suggestion’s uniqueness is checked and call rejected if the identifier is already present daml-on-kv-ledger: suggestion’s uniqueness is checked by the validators in the consensus layer and call rejected if the identifier is already present. canton: completely different globally unique identifier is allocated. Behind the scenes calls to an internal protocol are made. As that protocol is richer than the the surface protocol, the arguments take implicit values

Failure communicated in a Completion.
A Checkpoint with record_time > command mrt arrives through the Completion Stream, and the command’s Completion was not visible before. In this case the command is lost.

Clients that do not receive a successful completion about their submission MUST NOT assume that it was successful. Clients SHOULD subscribe to the CompletionStream before starting to submit commands to prevent race conditions.

Interprocess tracing of command submissions may be achieved via Zipkin by filling out the trace_context field. The server will return a child context of the submitted one, (or a new one if the context was missing) on both the Completion and Transaction streams.

If not consuming, the witnesses are the union of the signatories and the actors. Note that the actors might not necessarily be observers and thus signatories. This is the case when the controllers of a choice are specified using “flexible controllers”, using the choice … controller syntax, and said controllers are not explicitly marked as observers.

Each element must be a valid PartyIdString (as described in value.proto).

Required

- child_event_ids
- string
- repeated
- References to further events in the same transaction that appeared as a result of this ExercisedEvent. It contains only the immediate children of this event, not all members of the subtree rooted at this node.

ResetRequest¶

Field	Type	Label	Description
ledger_id	string		Must correspond to the ledger ID reported by the Ledger Identification Service. Must be a valid LedgerString (as describe in `value.proto`). Required

ResetService¶

Service to reset the ledger state. The goal here is to be able to reset the state in a way that’s much faster compared to restarting the whole ledger application (be it a sandbox or the real ledger server).

Note that all state present in the ledger implementation will be reset, most importantly including the ledger ID. This means that clients will have to re-fetch the ledger ID from the identity service after hitting this endpoint.

The semantics are as follows:

When the reset service returns the reset is initiated, but not completed;
While the reset is performed, the ledger will not accept new requests. In fact we guarantee that ledger stops accepting new requests by the time the response to Reset is delivered;
In-flight requests might be aborted, we make no guarantees on when or how quickly this happens;
The ledger might be unavailable for a period of time before the reset is complete.

Given the above, the recommended mode of operation for clients of the reset endpoint is to call it, then call the ledger identity endpoint in a retry loop that will tolerate a brief window when the ledger is down, and resume operation as soon as the new ledger ID is delivered.

Note that this service will be available on the sandbox and might be available in some other testing environments, but will never be available in production.

Method name	Request type	Response type	Description
Reset	ResetRequest	.google.protobuf.Empty	Resets the ledger state. Note that loaded DARs won’t be removed – this only rolls back the ledger to genesis.

Data structure to propagate Zipkin trace information. See https://github.com/openzipkin/b3-propagation Trace identifiers are 64 or 128-bit, but all span identifiers within a trace are 64-bit. All identifiers are opaque.

Field	Type	Description
trace_id_high	uint64	If present, this is the high 64 bits of the 128-bit identifier. Otherwise the trace ID is 64 bits long.
trace_id	uint64	The TraceId is 64 or 128-bit in length and indicates the overall ID of the trace. Every span in a trace shares this ID.
span_id	uint64	The SpanId is 64-bit in length and indicates the position of the current operation in the trace tree. The value should not be interpreted: it may or may not be derived from the value of the TraceId.
parent_span_id	google.protobuf.UInt64Value	The ParentSpanId is 64-bit in length and indicates the position of the parent operation in the trace tree. When the span is the root of the trace tree, the ParentSpanId is absent.
sampled	bool	When the sampled decision is accept, report this span to the tracing system. When it is reject, do not. When B3 attributes are sent without a sampled decision, the receiver should make one. Once the sampling decision is made, the same value should be consistently sent downstream.

Must be a valid NameString
value	Value		A nested value of a record. Required

Value¶

Encodes values that the ledger accepts as command arguments and emits as contract arguments.

The values encoding use different four classes of strings as identifiers. Those classes are defined as follow: - NameStrings are strings that match the regexp [A-Za-z\$_][A-Za-z0-9\$_]*. - PackageIdStrings are strings that match the regexp [A-Za-z0-9\-_ ]+. - PartyIdStrings are strings that match the regexp [A-Za-z0-9:\-_ ]+. - LedgerStrings are strings that match the regexp [A-Za-z0-9#:\-_/ ]+.

The field has to match the regex [+-]?d{1,38}(.d{0,37})? and should be representable by a Numeric without loss of precision.
text	string	A string.
timestamp	sfixed64	Microseconds since the UNIX epoch. Can go backwards.
