• To view the availability of a specific service or studio, use the content » query(searchPath, properties, sortBy, options) method to retrieve the bibus » installedComponent » componentID property, identifying the full path to the bibus » installedComponent object of the bibus » dispatcher specified in the searchPath parameter, including the name of the component in question.

  For example, /configuration/dispatcher[@name="<dispatcherName>"]/installedComponent[@name="<componentName>"].

• To view a full list of components installed on a dispatcher, use the content » query(searchPath, properties, sortBy, options) method to retrieve the bibus » installedComponent » componentID property, identifying a search path that selects all instances of bibus » installedComponent contained by the desired bibus » dispatcher in the searchPath parameter.

  For example, /configuration/dispatcher[@name="<dispatcherName>"]/installedComponent].
