Creating and maintaining objects with the CCAPI

The IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor API (CCAPI) enables a Java application to connect with an IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor engine to perform operations such as getting, creating, updating, and deleting IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor objects. With the CCAPI, you can programmatically create and maintain objects, such as users, roles, data visibility groups (DVGs), servers, and server groups for large scale efficiency.

In addition, you can perform the following node object configuration operations:
  • Construct new node configuration objects
  • Delete existing node configuration objects
  • Update existing node configuration objects
  • Perform a rekey of a server’s Sterling Connect:Direct® Secure Plus parameter file using a provided seed value
  • Perform a Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus parameter file validation for a server

The IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor InstallDirectory\sdk directory includes the compressed distribution file containing the CCAPI.

For more information about the using the CCAPI, see the readme file in the CCAPI\ folder and Javadoc in the CCAPI\doc\ folder.

The CCAPI can connect to the engine with either secure or non-secure connections. Secure connections require configuration of a secure connection on the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor engine and your CCAPI program.
