Attribute Transactions

Attribute transactions can be used for creating, updating and deleting attribute values. Attributes can be attached to various items in ASM.

Limited Support/End of Life Capabilities

The Classic API has been replaced by the Alemba RestFul API. While we will continue to support the Classic API for clients that are still using it, no further development will be done.

If you need to request a hotfix or support for these features, please contact Alemba Support
