SmartMover Advisory Notices

Converting from Smartmover V2 to Smartmover V2b

Smartmover V2b is the new version of our change of address web service. From a programming interface perspective, very little actually changed. Most of the improvements and new functionality are internal. This document will outline the major changes and help you migrate your code from using V2 to V2b.

Interface Changes
  1. URL
  2. The old URL was http://smartmover.melissadata.net/v2b/smartmover.asmx and the new URL is http://smartmover.melissadata.net/v2b/smartmover.asmx. The old service will remain functional until March 31st, 2012. That should give you plenty of time to upgrade your application to use the V2b service.
  3. JobID
  4. A seperate Ticket Web Service (http://account.melissadata.net/TicketService.asmx) is no longer used. You can now submit records for NCOA in one call without creating a ticket before processing. Taking the place of a ticket is JobID. In your Smartmover V2b request, enter a JobID to identify that list you are processing. Later when retrieving your reports, you will use this JobID to pull the NCOA and CASS reports for that list.
  5. PAFID
  6. Also added is support for brokerage accounts to Smartmover V2b. If you are a broker, you will get a new PAFID for each individual client under your account. Pass in this PAFID in the request and those records in the request will be identified under that specific client.


Under the Hood
  1. SuiteLink
  2. Smartmover V2b will take advantage of USPS SuiteLink technology. Before attempting to find a move, the service will use the input company name to append any missing business suites. This will help improve coding accuracy.
  3. AddressPlus
  4. Smartmover V2b also uses Melissa Data's proprietary AddressPlus technology. Before attempting to find a move, the service will use the input name to append missing apartment numbers. This will help improve coding accuracy.
  5. Improved threading and parallelism.
  6. Other miscellaneous bug fixes.
