Method name Request type Response type Description
GetActiveContracts GetActiveContractsRequest GetActiveContractsResponse Returns a stream of the snapshot of the active contracts at a ledger offset. If there are no active contracts, the stream returns a single response 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.

For additional information see the documentation for standard protobuf3’s google.protobuf.FieldMask. Required

UpdateIdentityProviderConfigResponse

Field Type Label Description

identity_provider_config

IdentityProviderConfigService

Identity Provider Config Service makes it possible for participant node administrators to setup and manage additional identity providers at runtime.

This allows using access tokens from identity providers unknown at deployment time. When an identity provider is configured, independent IDP administrators can manage their own set of parties and users. Such parties and users have a matching identity_provider_id defined and are inaccessible to administrators from other identity providers. A user will only be authenticated if the corresponding JWT token is issued by the appropriate identity provider. Users and parties without identity_provider_id defined are assumed to be using the default identity provider, which is configured statically at the participant node’s deployment time.

The Ledger API uses the “iss” claim of a JWT token to match the token to a specific IDP. If there is no match, the default IDP is assumed.

The fields of request messages (and sub-messages) are marked either as Optional or Required: (1) Optional denoting the client may leave the field unset when sending a request. (2) Required denoting the client must set the field to a non-default value when sending a request.

An identity provider config resource is described by the IdentityProviderConfig message, An identity provider config resource, once it has been created, can be modified. In order to update the properties represented by the IdentityProviderConfig message use the UpdateIdentityProviderConfig RPC. The only fields that can be modified are those marked as Modifiable.

com/daml/ledger/api/v1/admin/object_meta.proto

ObjectMeta

Represents metadata corresponding to a participant resource (e.g. a participant user or participant local information about a party).

Based on ObjectMeta meta used in Kubernetes API. See https://github.com/kubernetes/apimachinery/blob/master/pkg/apis/meta/v1/generated.proto#L640

Field Type Label Description

resource_version

string   An opaque, non-empty value, populated by a participant server which represents the internal version of the resource this ObjectMeta message is attached to. The participant server will change it to a unique value each time the corresponding resource is updated. You must not rely on the format of resource version. The participant server might change it without notice. You can obtain the newest resource version value by issuing a read request. You may use it for concurrent change detection by passing it back unmodified in an update request. The participant server will then compare the passed value with the value maintained by the system to determine if any other updates took place since you had read the resource version. Upon a successful update you are guaranteed that no other update took place during your read-modify-write sequence. However, if another update took place during your read-modify-write sequence then your update will fail with an appropriate error. Concurrent change control is optional. It will be applied only if you include a resource version in an update request. When creating a new instance of a resource you must leave the resource version empty. Its value will be populated by the participant server upon successful resource creation. Optional

annotations

ObjectMeta.AnnotationsEntry repeated A set of modifiable key-value pairs that can be used to represent arbitrary, client-specific metadata. Constraints: 1. The total size over all keys and values cannot exceed 256kb in UTF-8 encoding. 2. Keys are composed of an optional prefix segment and a required name segment such that: - key prefix, when present, must be a valid DNS subdomain with at most 253 characters, followed by a ‘/’ (forward slash) character, - name segment must have at most 63 characters that are either alphanumeric ([a-z0-9A-Z]), or a ‘.’ (dot), ‘-’ (dash) or ‘_’ (underscore); and it must start and end with an alphanumeric character. 2. Values can be any non-empty strings. Keys with empty prefix are reserved for end-users. Properties set by external tools or internally by the participant server must use non-empty key prefixes. Duplicate keys are disallowed by the semantics of the protobuf3 maps. See: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#maps Annotations may be a part of a modifiable resource. Use the resource’s update RPC to update its annotations. In order to add a new annotation or update an existing one using an update RPC, provide the desired annotation in the update request. In order to remove an annotation using an update RPC, provide the target annotation’s key but set its value to the empty string in the update request. Optional Modifiable

prune_all_divulged_contracts

bool   Prune all immediately and retroactively divulged contracts created before prune_up_to independent of whether they were archived before prune_up_to. Useful to avoid leaking storage on participant nodes that can see a divulged contract but not its archival.

Application developers SHOULD write their Daml applications such that they do not rely on divulged contracts; i.e., no warnings from using divulged contracts as inputs to transactions are emitted.

Participant node operators SHOULD set the prune_all_divulged_contracts flag to avoid leaking storage due to accumulating unarchived divulged contracts PROVIDED that: 1. no application using this participant node relies on divulgence OR 2. divulged contracts on which applications rely have been re-divulged after the prune_up_to offset.

PruneResponse

Empty for now, but may contain fields in the future

ParticipantPruningService

Prunes/truncates the “oldest” transactions from the participant (the participant Ledger Api Server plus any other participant-local state) by removing a portion of the ledger in such a way that the set of future, allowed commands are not affected.

This enables: 1. keeping the “inactive” portion of the ledger to a manageable size and 2. removing inactive state to honor the right to be forgotten.

Method name Request type Response type Description
Prune PruneRequest PruneResponse Prune the ledger specifying the offset before and at which ledger transactions should be removed. Only returns when the potentially long-running prune request ends successfully or with an error.

application_id

string   Only completions of commands submitted with the same application_id will be visible in the stream. Must be a valid ApplicationIdString (as described in value.proto). Required unless authentication is used with a user token or a custom token specifying an application-id. In that case, the token’s user-id, respectively application-id, will be used for the request’s application_id.

parties

string repeated Non-empty list of parties whose data should be included. Only completions of commands for which at least one of the act_as parties is in the given set of parties will be visible in the stream. Must be a valid PartyIdString (as described in value.proto). Required

offset

LedgerOffset   This field indicates the minimum offset for completions. This can be used to resume an earlier completion stream. This offset is exclusive: the response will only contain commands whose offset is strictly greater than this. Optional, if not set the ledger uses the current ledger end offset instead.

CompletionStreamResponse

Field Type Label Description

checkpoint

Checkpoint   This checkpoint may be used to restart consumption. The checkpoint is after any completions in this response. Optional

completions

Completion repeated If set, one or more completions.

CommandCompletionService

Allows clients to observe the status of their submissions. Commands may be submitted via the Command Submission Service. The on-ledger effects of their submissions are disclosed by the Transaction Service.

Commands may fail in 2 distinct manners:

  1. Failure communicated synchronously in the gRPC error of the submission.
  2. Failure communicated asynchronously in a Completion, see completion.proto.

Note that not only successfully submitted commands MAY produce a completion event. For example, the participant MAY choose to produce a completion event for a rejection of a duplicate command.

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.

Method name Request type Response type Description
CompletionStream CompletionStreamRequest CompletionStreamResponse Subscribe to command completion events.
CompletionEnd CompletionEndRequest CompletionEndResponse Returns the offset after the latest completion.

In that case, the token’s user-id, respectively application-id, will be used for the request’s application_id.

command_id

string   Uniquely identifies the command. The triple (application_id, party + act_as, command_id) constitutes the change ID for the intended ledger change, where party + act_as is interpreted as a set of party names. The change ID can be used for matching the intended ledger changes with all their completions. Must be a valid LedgerString (as described in value.proto). Required

party

string   Party on whose behalf the command should be executed. If ledger API authorization is enabled, then the authorization metadata must authorize the sender of the request to act on behalf of the given party. Must be a valid PartyIdString (as described in value.proto). Deprecated in favor of the act_as field. If both are set, then the effective list of parties on whose behalf the command should be executed is the union of all parties listed in party and act_as. Optional

Must not exceed the maximum deduplication time (see ledger_configuration_service.proto).
oneof deduplication_period.deduplication_offset string   Specifies the start of the deduplication period by a completion stream offset (exclusive). Must be a valid LedgerString (as described in ledger_offset.proto).

min_ledger_time_abs

google.protobuf.Timestamp   Lower bound for the ledger time assigned to the resulting transaction. Note: The ledger time of a transaction is assigned as part of command interpretation. Use this property if you expect that command interpretation will take a considerate amount of time, such that by the time the resulting transaction is sequenced, its assigned ledger time is not valid anymore. Must not be set at the same time as min_ledger_time_rel. Optional

min_ledger_time_rel

google.protobuf.Duration   Same as min_ledger_time_abs, but specified as a duration, starting from the time the command is received by the server. Must not be set at the same time as min_ledger_time_abs. Optional

act_as

string repeated Set of parties on whose behalf the command should be executed. If ledger API authorization is enabled, then the authorization metadata must authorize the sender of the request to act on behalf of each of the given parties. This field supersedes the party field. The effective set of parties on whose behalf the command should be executed is the union of all parties listed in party and act_as, which must be non-empty. Each element must be a valid PartyIdString (as described in value.proto). Optional

read_as

string repeated Set of parties on whose behalf (in addition to all parties listed in act_as) contracts can be retrieved. This affects Daml operations such as fetch, fetchByKey, lookupByKey, exercise, and exerciseByKey. Note: A participant node of a Daml network can host multiple parties. Each contract present on the participant node is only visible to a subset of these parties. A command can only use contracts that are visible to at least one of the parties in act_as or read_as. This visibility check is independent from the Daml authorization rules for fetch operations. If ledger API authorization is enabled, then the authorization metadata must authorize the sender of the request to read contract data on behalf of each of the given parties. Optional

submission_id

string   A unique identifier to distinguish completions for different submissions with the same change ID. Typically a random UUID. Applications are expected to use a different UUID for each retry of a submission with the same change ID. Must be a valid LedgerString (as described in value.proto).

Set either: - if there was a party, which is in the witness_parties of this event, and for which an InclusiveFilters exists with the template_id of this event among the template_ids, - or if there was a party, which is in the witness_parties of this event, and for which a wildcard filter exists (Filters without InclusiveFilters, or with an InclusiveFilters with empty template_ids and empty interface_filters). Optional

create_arguments_blob

google.protobuf.Any   Opaque representation of contract payload intended for forwarding to an API server as a contract disclosed as part of a command submission. Optional

interface_views

Includes an InterfaceView for each interface for which there is a InterfaceFilter with - its party in the witness_parties of this event, - and which is implemented by the template of this event, - and which has include_interface_view set. Optional

witness_parties

string repeated The parties that are notified of this event. When a CreatedEvent is returned as part of a transaction tree, this will include all the parties specified in the TransactionFilter that are informees of the event. If served as part of a flat transaction those will be limited to all parties specified in the TransactionFilter that are stakeholders of the contract (i.e. either signatories or observers). Required

signatories

string repeated The signatories for this contract as specified by the template. Required

observers

string repeated The observers for this contract as specified explicitly by the template or implicitly as choice controllers. This field never contains parties that are signatories. Required

agreement_text

google.protobuf.StringValue   The agreement text of the contract. We use StringValue to properly reflect optionality on the wire for backwards compatibility. This is necessary since the empty string is an acceptable (and in fact the default) agreement text, but also the default string in protobuf. This means a newer client works with an older sandbox seamlessly. Optional

metadata

ContractMetadata   Metadata of the contract. Required for contracts created after the introduction of explicit disclosure. Optional

Event

An event in the flat transaction stream can either be the creation or the archiving of a contract.

In the transaction service the events are restricted to the events visible for the parties specified in the transaction filter.

If consuming, the witnesses are the union of the stakeholders and the actors. 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.

LedgerConfiguration contains parameters of the ledger instance that may be useful to clients.

Field Type Label Description

max_deduplication_duration

google.protobuf.Duration   If a command submission specifies a deduplication period of length up to max_deduplication_duration, the submission SHOULD not be rejected with FAILED_PRECONDITION because the deduplication period starts too early. The deduplication period is measured on a local clock of the participant or Daml ledger, and therefore subject to clock skews and clock drifts. Command submissions with longer periods MAY get accepted though.

The Ledger API endpoints that take offsets allow to specify portions of the ledger that are relevant for the client to read.

Offsets returned by the Ledger API can be used as-is (e.g. to keep track of processed transactions and provide a restart point to use in case of need).

The format of absolute offsets is opaque to the client: no client-side transformation of an offset is guaranteed to return a meaningful offset.

The server implementation ensures internally that offsets are lexicographically comparable.

Field Type Label Description
oneof value.absolute string   The format of this string is specific to the ledger and opaque to the client.
oneof value.boundary LedgerOffset.LedgerBoundary    

LedgerOffset.LedgerBoundary
