I want to Retrieve Properties from both Data Extension and Data Extension Field Object in Single Retrieve Request

Suppose Consider this Example:

Data Extension Soap Object Request

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:par="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <soapenv:Header>
    <Security xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
      <UsernameToken>
        <Username>xxxxxx</Username>
        <Password>xxxxxxx</Password>
      </UsernameToken>
    </Security>
  </soapenv:Header>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
      <RetrieveRequest>
        <ObjectType>DataExtension</ObjectType>
        <Properties>CustomerKey</Properties>
        <Properties>Name</Properties>
        <Properties>DataExtension.ObjectID</Properties>
        <Properties>IsSendable</Properties>
        <Properties>SendableSubscriberField.Name</Properties>
        <Properties>SendableDataExtensionField.Name</Properties>
        <Properties>CategoryID</Properties>
        <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
          <Property>CategoryID</Property>
          <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
          <Value>xxxxxx</Value>
        </Filter>
        <QueryAllAccounts>true</QueryAllAccounts>
      </RetrieveRequest>
    </RetrieveRequestMsg>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Data Extension field Object Request:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:u="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
  <!-- header removed -->
  <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
      <RetrieveRequest>
        <ClientIDs>
          <ID>999999999</ID>
        </ClientIDs>
        <ObjectType>DataExtensionField</ObjectType>
        <Properties>ObjectID</Properties>
        <Properties>PartnerKey</Properties>
        <Properties>CustomerKey</Properties>
        <Properties>Name</Properties>
        <Properties>DefaultValue</Properties>
        <Properties>MaxLength</Properties>
        <Properties>IsRequired</Properties>
        <Properties>Ordinal</Properties>
        <Properties>IsPrimaryKey</Properties>
        <Properties>FieldType</Properties>
        <Properties>CreatedDate</Properties>
        <Properties>ModifiedDate</Properties>
        <Properties>Scale</Properties>
        <Properties>Client.ID</Properties>
        <Properties>DataExtension.CustomerKey</Properties>
        <Properties>StorageType</Properties>
        <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
          <Property>DataExtension.CustomerKey</Property>
          <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
          <Value>DATAEXTENSIONCUSTOMERKEY</Value>
        </Filter>
      </RetrieveRequest>
    </RetrieveRequestMsg>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

I want to combine these two Request in Single Request,because i want to Retrieve both Data Extension and Data Extension Fields in single Request

I have tried this combination it is not working:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:par="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <soapenv:Header>
        <Security xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
          <UsernameToken>
            <Username>xxxxxx</Username>
            <Password>xxxxxxx</Password>
          </UsernameToken>
        </Security>
      </soapenv:Header>
      <soapenv:Body>
        <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
          <RetrieveRequest>
            <ObjectType>DataExtension</ObjectType>
            <Properties>CustomerKey</Properties>
            <Properties>Name</Properties>
            <Properties>DataExtension.ObjectID</Properties>
            <Properties>IsSendable</Properties>

            <ObjectType>DataExtensionField</ObjectType>
            <Properties>ObjectID</Properties>
            <Properties>PartnerKey</Properties>
            <Properties>CustomerKey</Properties>

Tried with two single Retrieve Request:

  <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
          <RetrieveRequest>
            <ObjectType>DataExtension</ObjectType>
            <Properties>CustomerKey</Properties>
          </RetrieveRequest>
        </RetrieveRequestMsg>
<RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
              <RetrieveRequest>
<ObjectType>DataExtensionField</ObjectType>
                <Properties>ObjectID</Properties>
   </RetrieveRequest>
        </RetrieveRequestMsg>

But this Combination also Not Working,If anyone Knows for Retriving the Request from both objects in Single Request please Guide me for this Scenario

    To my knowledge, You would need to do two separate SOAP calls and then combine the returned information in your web app or whatever system is making these calls. – Gortonington Sep 20 '17 at 13:41

    have you tried adding <Properties>Fields</Properties> for your first soap request for DataExtension Object? 'Fields' are available for DataExtension object, according to this doc developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.mc-apis.meta/mc-apis/… – Bo Hu Oct 3 '17 at 6:00
  • @BoHu Fields are not Retrieving in Data Extension,I have tried also with that Document – SFDC Oct 3 '17 at 7:40
  • @SFDC Well looks like you have to send two separate soap request for each objects then, I think for Email Object, I can specify ContentArea in SOAP request, then it returns a list of ContentArea in that Email Object. Data extension may be different. – Bo Hu Oct 3 '17 at 22:18
  • @BoHu,only possible way for this question is two seperate soap request,I want to retrieve fields also in single soap request , guide me for that way? – SFDC Oct 4 '17 at 5:06
