Story Key

The key expected by this operation contains the following information:

It is important to note that the page, vendor and source identify the story uniquely at the server level and, for that reason, a server identifier is is included in the key.  The use of the server index ensures that the story is requested from the same server that returned the story index originally.

In the unlikely event that the requested server is not available, the request will be returned with an error condition and the client side program may need to regenerate the index again by calling GetNewsIndex.  This is the only case where PXWeb does not attempt to switch the request to a healthy server automatically.
