CA Service Management

Hi,

I am trying to read the Computer CI's from the CA CMDB using cmdbf QueryService. Can any one provide the sample query format for to query all the CI data from the CI table along with the soap body?

Regards,

Raj

Hi Raj.

There is an example in the online docs:

https://docops.ca.com/ca-service-management/14-1/en/reference/ca-service-desk-manager-reference-commands/cmdb-technical-reference/cmdb-web-services/cmdb-web-services-access

it looks like:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:dat="http://cmdbf.org/schema/1-0-0/datamodel">
   <soapenv:Header>
        <sec:securityHeader xmlns:sec="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
                <sec:username>userid</sec:username>
                <sec:password>password</sec:password>
        </sec:securityHeader>
   </soapenv:Header>

   <soapenv:Body>
      <dat:query>
         <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
          <itemTemplate suppressFromResult="false" id="All">
         </itemTemplate>
    </dat:query>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response. 

I have already looked into this. But in the soap body envelope,  I don't see the CI table name?

<dat:query>
           <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
           <itemTemplate suppressFromResult="false" id="All">
           </itemTemplate>
</dat:query>

Can you please give an example with CI table name?

Hi Raj.

Because the CMDBf webservice is exclusivly used for CI's and their relationships, you don't need to specify a CI table name for the CI's.

Additionaly, the CMDBf webservice is the SDM specific implementation of a company and tool independent standard CI data exchange interface called CMDBf https://www.dmtf.org/standards/cmdbf. Also from this point of view,it wouldnt make sense to be able to specify a tool dependent table name.

Hope that helps and kind regards

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response. 

I did go through the DMTF site and look into the queryservice wsdl. It looks like the schema path present in the wsdl file is wrong. 

schemaLocation="http://schemas.dmtf.org/cmdbf/1/serviceData/dsp8040.xsd"/>

I think the correct schema path is http://schemas.dmtf.org/cmdbf/1/tns/serviceData/dsp8040.xsd

When I try to correct the schema, the wsdl file is not working properly.

Hi Raj.

It is not quite clear to me, what you are trying to achieve?

If you want to consume the SDM CMDBf webservice, the one and only one truth is the wsdl you get when accessing

http://your_sdm_server_here:8080/axis/services/QueryPort?wsdl

This wsdl is working for me, quite well, as far as I tested.

HI Michael,

I am trying to create the web service project in SoapUI using the cmdbf query service(DSP8043.WSDL) listed in the https://www.dmtf.org/standards/cmdbf.

Raj

Hi Raj.

That's exactly, what I did with the SDM WSDL.  This was working well, for my rudimentary tests.I suggest to do the same and not using the WSDL from the dmtf.org site.

Kind regards
