Answer

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.
