How to use WS-Enumerate XPath in filter dialect to search Entities

[Anon Anon]

Hi all!

I'm trying to get a list of Entities/CIs using WS-MAN Webservice but the only way I'm able to do it is using the filter //*, that brings me all CIs.

Anyone here knows how can I create a XPath filter to select only a piece of information from CIs?

Actually I have knowledge about XPath convention but I don't know the "XML structure" of data stored in SOI so I don't know how do build the XPath query i.e.: Entity/ComputerSystem[starts-with(item-name,'app')]

 

Follow the XML I'm using:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:mdo="http://schemas.wiseman.dev.java.net/metadata/messagetypes" xmlns:mex="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex" xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:wse="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/eventing" xmlns:wsen="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration" xmlns:wsman="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd" xmlns:wsmeta="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman/version1.0.0.a/default-addressing-model.xsd" xmlns:wxf="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

            <wsman:EnumerationMode>EnumerateObjectAndEPR</wsman:EnumerationMode>
        </wsen:Enumerate>
    </env:Body>

Thanks for your help!!

After opening a case at CA' support I got the answer I was looking for. The resource URI must be http://ns.ca.com/2009/01/usm-data/BaseCI.

 

The working xml is this:

 

<s:Envelope
      xmlns:w="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd"
      xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
      xmlns:n="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration"
      xmlns:a="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing">
  <s:Header>
    <a:To>http://app1casoism1p.sicredi.net:7090/sam/webservice</a:To>
    <w:ResourceURI s:mustUnderstand="true">http://ns.ca.com/2009/01/usm-data/BaseCI</w:ResourceURI>
    <a:ReplyTo>
      <a:Address s:mustUnderstand="true">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/role/anonymous</a:Address>
    </a:ReplyTo>
    <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="true">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration/Enumerate</a:Action>
    <a:MessageID>uuid:207BB4D6-0C82-11E4-8390-4B3D9C9BB6A5</a:MessageID>
  </s:Header>
  <s:Body>
    <n:Enumerate xmlns:ns13="http://ns.ca.com/2009/01/usm-data">
      <w:OptimizeEnumeration/>
      <w:MaxElements>10000</w:MaxElements>
      <w:EnumerationMode>EnumerateObjectAndEPR</w:EnumerationMode>
      <w:Filter Dialect="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116">/ns13:BaseCI[starts-with(ns13:item_label,'app1server')]</w:Filter>
    </n:Enumerate>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

 

Thanks.
