CIM: Data loss during profile deletion

[cherie]

Hello,

I am trying to understand the functionalities of this API so that the requirement and business rules with our system could be analyzed.

#1 - When a customer profile in CIM is deleted do we lose alltransactiion history on that profile too?

#2 - When customer updates  their credit card data through hosted forms, this is a subscription system, will it over write the existing payment profile Info or Add a new one against their profile?

Thanks.

I am not a developer, read a little bit of data points from http://www.authorize.net/support/CIM_SOAP_guide.pdf

I need to analyze the scenrios as I document the requirement. 

The guide says deleting a customer profile woulf delete all associated payment profiles. Does this mean all transaction history associated with that customer would be lost and cannot be retrieved?

1)The transactions is not link to the profile, at least not yet.

2)If they update an existing profile, it update an existing profile. not sure what you mean adding a new one.
