Abstract

Helper functionality to identify Netcool/Impact policy syntax for retrieving web service response data

Body

In this scenario, you are required to write Netcool/Impact policies to retrieve data from web services, however, retrieving the correct data through the web service can sometimes be difficult as additional information is required from the JAR files or the WSDL itself to access the information. In these particular examples, you have two web service examples:
 
  • Weather – retrieves weather data for a particular area
  • Stock – retrieves stock quote data for a particular stock symbol
 
Using the Netcool/Impact - Web Services Wizard UI, you can create a policy to connect to and retrieve data from a particular web service. This Web Service Details Dashboard helper functionality can be installed into your Tivoli Integrated Portal (TIP) server and used to query the information inside the associated web service’s JAR file. The dashboard package contains Impact policies that populate the Tivoli Integrated Portal (TIP) table widgets contained within the dashboard.
 
The dashboard has been written and tested both with Netcool/Impact 6.1.1 running inside Tivoli Integrated Portal 2.2.0.11 and TBSM 6.1.1 running inside Tivoli Integrated Portal 2.2.0.11 on Linux and Windows operating systems.
