Operation

Operation

Operations are objects that represent a desired change to the ledger: payments, offers to exchange currency, changes made to account options, etc. Operations are submitted to the HC Network grouped in a Transaction.

To learn more about the concept of operations in the Hc Net network, take a look at the Hc Net operations concept guide.

Operation Types

Type Type_i Description
CREATE_ACCOUNT 0 Creates a new account in Hc Net network.
PAYMENT 1 Sends a simple payment between two accounts in Hc Net network.
PATH_PAYMENT 2 Sends a path payment between two accounts in the Hc Net network.
MANAGE_OFFER 3 Creates, updates or deletes an offer in the Hc Net network.
CREATE_PASSIVE_OFFER 4 Creates an offer that won’t consume a counter offer that exactly matches this offer.
SET_OPTIONS 5 Sets account options (inflation destination, adding signers, etc.)
CHANGE_TRUST 6 Creates, updates or deletes a trust line.
ALLOW_TRUST 7 Updates the “authorized” flag of an existing trust line this is called by the issuer of the related asset.
ACCOUNT_MERGE 8 Deletes account and transfers remaining balance to destination account.
INFLATION 9 Runs inflation.
MANAGE_DATA 10 Set, modify or delete a Data Entry (name/value pair) for an account.
BUMP_SEQUENCE 11 Bumps forward the sequence number of an account.

Every operation type shares a set of common attributes and links, some operations also contain additional attributes and links specific to that operation type.

Common Attributes
Type
id number The canonical id of this operation, suitable for use as the :id parameter for url templates that require an operation’s ID.
paging_token any A paging token suitable for use as a cursor parameter.
type string A string representation of the type of operation.
type_i number Specifies the type of operation, See “Types” section below for reference.
Common Links
Relation
self Relative link to the current operation
succeeds Relative link to the list of operations succeeding the current operation.
precedes Relative link to the list of operations preceding the current operation.
effects The effects this operation triggered
transaction The transaction this operation is part of

Each operation type will have a different set of attributes, in addition to the common attributes listed above.

Manage Offer

A “Manage Offer” operation can create, update or delete an offer to trade assets in the Hc Net network. It specifies an issuer, a price and amount of a given asset to buy or sell.

When this operation is applied to the ledger, trades can potentially be executed if this offer crosses others that already exist in the ledger.

In the event that there are not enough crossing orders to fill the order completely a new “Offer” object will be created in the ledger. As other accounts make offers or payments, this offer can potentially be filled.

Attributes

Field Type Description
offer_id number Offer ID.
amount string Amount of asset to be sold.
buying_asset_code string The code of asset to buy.
buying_asset_issuer string The issuer of asset to buy.
buying_asset_type string DType of asset to buy (native / alphanum4 / alphanum12)
price string Price to buy a buying_asset
price_r Object n: price numerator, d: price denominator
selling_asset_code string The code of asset to sell.
selling_asset_issuer string The issuer of asset to sell.
selling_asset_type string Type of asset to sell (native / alphanum4 / alphanum12)
