  • 1.  CCA SOAP API Example

    Posted Jun 23, 2016 11:34 AM

    I was wondering if someone could help me out with an example of a correct SOAP API call for CCA.  I am running into issue with the credential type not sure how that data is suppose to be formatted and can't find any good information on it.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    First, you need to get the session credentials via getSessionCr

    For any other request, you need to pass that result from getSessionCredentialReturn to each method

     

    Keep in mind that most responses will be in form of a java object, not clear text

    Thanks for the info Adnan.   Is there any way to get the Java Object into XML format like below?

     

    <Server>

    <uuid>930ce95b-9c4a-4358-bb14-0777be7dc866</uuid>

    <type>cca_srvr</type>

    <name>mv0090.ca.com</name>

    <snapshot>false</snapshot>

    <attributes>

    <entry>

    <string>agent_protocol</string>

    <string></string>

    </entry>

    <entry>

    <string>os_ver</string>

    <string>5.2 (Build 3790)</string>

    </entry>

    ...

    </Server>

    Unfortunately no, not without using Java itself; you may want to use Java SDK, which requires coding (documented within the CCA Server install path in \CA\CCA Server\sdk\doc\javadoc\)

     

    There might be some third party converted, but all that I know, needs to be implemented on the server site (ex: axis2)

     

    I know there were talks about creating some rest apis, not sure if that is still planned
