  • 1.  Webservices_rest on CA UIM

    Posted Jan 09, 2018 08:00 AM

    Hi,

     

    I have enabled restful services on my UIN 8.47v by deploying the latest version of webservices_rest package.

     

    Now I want to call the alarms using rest which are there on UMP console but I am not successful in doing that.
    /alarms

     

    Please let me know if I need to do any further configuration.

     

     

    Thanks

    If you installed the 8.51 webservices_rest package, then I would expect that you would run into problems.  The following Note can be found on the RESTful Web Services Wiki page found at the following link:

    https://docops.ca.com/ca-unified-infrastructure-management-probes/ga/en/probe-development-tools/restful-web-services

     

    Note: The webservices_REST probe is updated to run with the latest CA UIM database schema. When updating UIM, be sure to download the webservices_REST probe with the corresponding version number. Do not download webservices_REST with a later version than your CA UIM: doing so may break endpoints.

     

    Make sure that you have installed the 8.47 webservices_rest package.  If you have and you still cannot get your alarm REST calls to work, I would recommend opening a case to look into this further.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Hi ,

     

    Thanks for your help.

     

    It worked for me.
    Now I am able to get CA UIM alarms in XML format in browser using RETS services.

     

    One more help.

    How can I get the same data in JSON format??

    As I am getting it in XML format.

     

     

     

    Thanks

    Your request must be in json format and then it will return json format out put.

    Please see the examples for json in the documentation.

    Hi,

     

    Below is a link to code that sends JSON and returns JSON from the UIM REST API. The key is in the headers you pass in the request.

     

    Function for getting alarms: cauimws/cauimws.py at master · adgayle/cauimws · GitHub 

    Sample code calling the functions: cauimws/ackrobotinactive.py at master · adgayle/cauimws · GitHub
