Using kshsoap.exe Client

ITM 6.1 supplies a number of ways to interface with the ITM SOAP server. In this article I will show how the kshsoap executable can be used.

The kshsoap.exe can be found on your TEMS server in the cms directory. For example, C:\IBM\ITM\cms\kshsoap.exe. The syntax of the command is as follows:

kshsoap.exe parm1 parm2

Where:

Parm1 is a file containing the soap request.
Parm2 is the URL of the soap server

Here is an example:

1) Create a file getsystems.txt and put the following code in it:

Type in the file:

<CT_Get>
<userid>sysadmin</userid><password></password>
<object>ManagedSystem</object><target>ManagedSystemName</target>
</CT_Get>


2) Create a file called c:\IBM\ITM\cms\url.txt

Type in the file:

http://localhost:1920///cms/soap

3) Run the program:

c:\IBM\ITM\cms\kshsoap.exe getsystems.txt url.txt
