DCE SOAP UI

[DCIM_Support]

Hello All,

I am trying to use SOAP UI to test getting sensor values from DCE using the following steps....

I am using the V2_0 WISDL services

1) Use "initializeSensorService" to initialise the service - This returns true and is OK

2) Use "getDeviceByIPAddress" and it returns data, one of which is

 
              Bfbbfd6_nbSNMPEnc328752EA

3) Taking the ID in 2 above I plug it into the "getSensorsByIDs" as follows....

         Bfbbfd6_nbSNMPEnc328752EA
         

 to get a list of Sensor ID's for that device and it returns...

         soap:Server
         Illegal argument. No enum const class com.apc.stdws.xsd.isxcentral._2009._10.ISXCSensorType.? 

In summary does anyone know the steps, using the SOAP API's to...

1) Init the Service
2 Return the list of Sensors for a known IP address of a device monitored by DCE
3 Return the value of a specific sensor on that Device

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks

1) I think you can skip this one, I never had any problems skipping it.

3) There seems to be some confusion, first you talk about "getSensorsByIDs", which will not work in this case because it requires a sensorId and you have a deviceId.

Then the code you quote uses the correct request: "getSensorsForDeviceRequest" - so which one did you use?

I Doubt SOAP UI will work if you mix the request, ie. paste the getSensorsForDeviceRequest code into getSensorsByIDs request.

Workaround:  If you you are looking for specific type of sensor you could use the "getSensorsByTypeRequest" instead, e.g. if you are looking for sensors of the type "OUTPUT_POWER_WATTS" you could do:

         OUTPUT_POWER_WATTS

Which will give you all sensors of the given type, and you then manually have to search for the device in question (if the device does not show up it does not have any sensors of the specified type).

Hope this helps

Hi Gert,  This is good, I can now use SoapUI to pull data form the sensors I want.  But when I try to put that into PHP (LAMP) environment I get errors like "[WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://server/integration/services/ISXCentralSensorService_v2_0?wsdl' "

The API Call looks like...

$soapURL = "http://server/integration/services/ISXCentralSensorService_v2_0?wsdl" ; $soapParameters = Array('login' => "monitor", 'password' => "monitor") ;
$soapClient = new SoapClient($soapURL, $soapParamaters);

I have also tried...
$soapClient =     new SoapClient ("http://monitor:monitor@server/integration/services/ISXCentralSensorService_v2_0?wsdl");

Dows anyone have any PHP examples of pulling information via the SOAP API from Expert?

Thanks
