IBM Control Center Application Interfaces Overview

The IBM Control Center Application Interface (CCAPI) enables a Java application to connect with a IBM Control Center engine and get, create, update, and delete IBM Control Center objects, as well as initiate Node object configuration operations. Here is the list of packages:

• com.sterlingcommerce.scc.agent.services.node
• com.sterlingcommerce.scc.agent.services.node.gis
• com.sterlingcommerce.scc.common.nodeconfig
• com.sterlingcommerce.scc.sdk
• com.sterlingcommerce.scc.sdk.ccapi

Use of the CCAPI revolves around the CCProxy class, which implements both the ControlCenterProxy, and the ConfigServiceProxy interfaces. You will instantiate a copy of a CCProxy, providing all the necessary connection information including IBM Control Center engine IP address (or DNS host name), to initiate a connection with an IBM Control Center engine:

• IBM Control Center engine API port
• IBM Control Center User ID
• IBM Control Center User password
• Indication of whether a secure connection is to be used or not
