IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Verify the configuration
Verify that you have configured the SOAP server correctly.
In this step you verify that SOAP has been correctly configured by starting the SOAP client and making a request using the command-line utility kshsoap.
Procedure
- Verify that the monitoring server that you used to enable SOAP is running. If not, start it.
- Open a command window.
- Change to the install_dir\cms directory or The install_dir/TBD.
- In the current directory, create an ASCII text file named SOAPREQ.txt that contains the following SOAP request:
<CT_Get><object>ManagedSystem</object></CT_Get>Or if security has been enabled:
<CT_Get><userid>logonid</userid><password>password</password> \ <object>ManagedSystem</object></CT_Get>
- Create another ASCII text file named URLS.txt that contains URLs that will receive the SOAP request. For example: http://hostname:1920///cms/soap
- Run the following command:
kshsoap SOAPREQ.txt URLS.txtSOAPREQ.txt is the name of the file that contains the SOAP request and URLS.txt is the name of the file that contains the URLs.
Results
The kshsoap utility processes the SOAPREQ.txt file and displays the output of the SOAP request in the command window. The SOAP request is sent to each URL listed in URLS.txt, and the SOAP response from each URL displays in the DOS window.
