Hello Community,
I'm curious if anyone is still making use of CA Output Management Web Services.
-
This was originally released in the mid-2000s as Unicenter Output Management Web Services r1
-
It provided SOAP-based APIs (Report List, Report Data, Index List, Ping) to integrate report data from CA View, Deliver/Dispatch, and Bundl with portals, dashboards, and other applications.
-
It was designed to give customers a standards-based way (HTTP/SOAP/WSDL/XML) to programmatically access their report repositories without relying on 3270 or proprietary tools.
For context:
-
CA Bundl is end-of-life.
-
CA Dispatch is stabilized (no new features, only maintenance).
-
OM Web Viewer r14 requires OM View r14 - this pairing unlocks the REST APIs that provide the modern, supported path forward for integration (along with Zowe CLI plugins).
My question:
-
Are you or your teams still running the older SOAP-based Web Services?
-
If yes, what use cases are you supporting with it?
-
Would you be interested in guidance or examples for moving those use cases to Web Viewer r14 REST APIs?
Looking forward to hearing your experiences! Email me directly at ed.blazejewski@broadcom.com
