Question

Is is possible to use Short Code Transactions to activate Server Side Trusted Storage?

Answer

No it is not possible to perform Server Side Trusted Storage Activations using 'Short Code' transactions due to the limited information that can be transmitted in this format and the complexity of such requests.

This is confirmed by this extract from the TS Programming & Reference Guide (P37 of 11.13 fnp_PR-TS.pdf)?

Normal transactions use XML formatted messages. These are transmitted either as a data stream (without end-user
intervention) or as a files (with end-user intervention). When a network connection is unavailable or the XML
documents are too large, you can transmit the messages using request and response codes.
These transactions are referred to as short-code transactions because the request and response message is encoded
as a numeric value. They are available for transactions only between a FlexEnabled client and an activation server.
Typically, this type of transaction is used for telephone transactions either with a customer service representative or
using automated touch tone telephony.

In order to activate Server Side TS you would therefore need to use the XML file transfer method referenced above.
