Configuring outbound communication with an UTM application

Figure 59: Configuring outbound communication with an UTM application

To configure outbound configuration with an UTM application, you must call the following MC-CLI functions in the specified order in a Jython script. You will find an example of the configuration of outbound communication in the supplied Jython sample script sampleAdminOutbound.py located in the directory cli-sample.

1. init() - Start Management Console session for MC-CLI
   Call the function BcAdminMain.init(<MC_home>) to start a Management Console session.

   The Management Console automatically recognizes an installed local proxy and opens the corresponding configuration file console.properties.xml or creates this if it does not already exist.

2. getList() - Output list of all configured objects of an object type / getObject() - Read proxy object from the configuration
   Read the list of all configured proxies using BcAdminMain.getList("proxy") or use BcAdminProxy.getObject(<proxy_name>) to read a specific proxy object.

   You can use the values returned by the calls as the call parameter <bcproxy> in the calls listed in points 3 to 8.

3. authenticate() - Authenticate for proxy
   Authenticate yourself with the proxy by calling
   BcAdminProxy.authenticate(<bcproxy>, admin_pw).

4. modifyProperties() - Modify properties of a proxy
   Configure the proxy by calling the function
   BcAdminProxy.modifyProperties(<bcproxy>, properties) with the desired property values in your script.

5. create() - Add EIS partner to the configuration
   Define one (or more) EIS system(s) by calling the function
   BcAdminEisPartner.create(<eisPartnerName>, <bcproxy>, properties) (multiple times if necessary).

6. create() - Add outbound service to the configuration
   Define one (or more) outbound service(s) by calling the function
   BcAdminOutboundService.create(<remoteTacName>, <bcproxy>, properties) (multiple times if necessary).

7. create() - Add outbound communication endpoint to the configuration
   Define one (or more) outbound communication endpoint(s) by calling the function
   BcAdminOutboundCommEndpoint.create(<communicationEndpointName>, <bcproxy>, properties) (multiple times if necessary).

8. perform() - Start administrative actions for a proxy
   Save and update the proxy configuration using the functions
   BcAdminProxy.perform(<bcproxy>, "save") and
   BcAdminProxy.perform(<bcproxy>, "update-config").

9. perform() - Start administrative actions
   Call the function BcAdminEisPartner.perform(<eisPartner>, "gen-config") to save the configuration of the EIS partner(s).

10. close() - Close Management Console session
    Call the function BcAdminMain.close() to terminate the Management Console session.
