12.3.1 Web Services Activation
Web services in NMS will not be activated by default and can be activated at runtime when needed by the NMS administrator.
When not in use the administrator can also deactivate web services provided by NMS. The script
AT_WebService.bat/sh
can be used to enable and disable the APIs when executed as below. Note that restarting the server is not required when activat-
ing/deactivating NMS web services APIs and the server must be running when performing these tasks.
12.3.1.1 Activate Web Services (Axis/SOAP)
This operation must be done after the server is started.
1. Change directories to <NMS_HOME>/bin
2. Execute AT_WebService.bat/sh with ‘deploy’ parameter
• AT_WebService.bat deploy (for Windows installations)
• AT_WebService.sh deploy (for Solaris installations)
12.3.1.2 Review the Associated WSDL and Available Services
Use
http://<nmsserver-IP>:9090/axis/services to see the WSDL and the services available. Note that a relevant file
is available only after activating the web services.
