SD_URL

Sets the URL for SOAP requests to the Web Services directory of the CA Service Desk server. Specify SD_URL=url where url is the full URL. For example:

SD_URL=http://server.local.com:8080\

/axis/services/USD_WebServiceSoap?wsdl

Note the continuation character (\) at the end of line one on this two-line input.

When coding the SD_URL parameter in the SDCONFIG member of PARMLIB, specify a host name if possible. If coding a literal IP address in a URL in an IPv6 environment, do not code an IPv4 address as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Code an IPv4 address as such and the code will create the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

If coding a literal IPv6 address for a URL for an IPv6 environment, the address should be enclosed in square brackets with any optional port designations placed outside the brackets. For example:

[3FFE:2A00:100:7031::1]:8080

SD_USER

The CA Service Desk User ID to be used in all CAISDI connections to the CA Service Desk. Set this parameter to the logon ID gathered in Step 4 above. Specify as SD_USER=userid where userid is the user ID.

SD_PASS

The password associated with SD_USER. Set this parameter to the logon password gathered in Step 4 above. Specify as SD_PASS=password where password is the password.

SSL_SAF

SSL only. Specifies the keyring name from Step 6 above if your chose method 1. Specify as SSL_SAF=ringname where ringname is the name of the ring to which the certificates are connected.

This parameter is mutually exclusive with SSH_HFS. If SSL_SAF and SSL_HFS are specified, CAISDI/soap initialization fails.

SSL_HFS

SSL only. Specifies the HFS file name of the keyring file from Step 6 above if you chose method 2. Specify as SSL_HFS=filename where filename is the HFS file containing the certificates.

This parameter is mutually exclusive with SSH_SAF. If SSL_HFS and SSL_SAF are specified, CAISDI/soap initialization fails.

SSL_STASH

SSL only when SSL_HFS has been specified. Specifies the HFS file name of the password file for the keyring file from Step 6 above if you chose method 2. Specify as SSL_STASH=filename where filename is the HFS file containing the password to the keyring file specified in SSL_HFS.

TZ

Sets the time zone that is to be used for the message logging in the CAISDI/soap server address space. Specify this as TZ=timezone where timezone is a valid C++ time zone notation. See the IBM z/OS C/C++ Run-Time Library Reference for more details. Some examples are: EST5EDT for Eastern Time Zone, CST6CDT for Central Time Zone, MST7MDT for Mountain Time Zone, and PST8PDT for Pacific Time Zone.

WORK_DIR

The UNIX System Services working directory for writing “debug” statements by the script process. This is required only in DEBUG mode and only if you need the debugging output of the script process. In DEBUG mode without this variable set, you get detailed debugging information and packet tracing written to the LOGFILE DD. Specify as WORK_DIR=hfsdir, where hfsdir is the HFS working directory where the script debugging lines will be written. The filename specified at open is "./soap_script.log".

LOGIN

Sets the registration value associated with the CA Service Desk Login method. This field must contain the following value:

http://www.ca.com/UnicenterServicePlus/Service Desk/Login

Specify as LOGIN=regvalue where regvalue is the CA Service Desk registration value for the Login Web Services method.

LOGOUT

Sets the registration value associated with the CA Service Desk Logout method. This field must contain the following value:

http://www.ca.com/UnicenterServicePlus/Service Desk/Logout

Specify as LOGOUT=regvalue where regvalue is the CA Service Desk registration value for the Logout Web Services method.

CREATE

The registration value that is associated with the CA Service Desk CreateRequest method. This field must contain the following value:

http://www.ca.com/UnicenterServicePlus/Service Desk/CreateRequest

Specify as CREATE=regvalue where regvalue is the CA Service Desk registration value for the CreateRequest Web Services method.

DEBUG

Keyword used to enable diagnostic logging in CAISDI/soap.

NODEBUG

Keyword used to disable diagnostic logging in CAISDI/soap.

TIMEOUT_CONNECT

Specifies the maximum time in seconds to wait for a connection to a web server. The default is 60 seconds. Specify a number between 1 and 3600.

Note: Setting a value too low may prevent a connection from completing that would otherwise complete.

TIMEOUT_IO

Specifies the maximum time in seconds for a socket to wait for data from a Web Server or to be able to send it data. The default is 20 seconds.

Note: Setting a value too low may cause the connection to close prematurely. Specify a number between 1 and 3600.

URL_symbol

A product may require a web server other than the default web server as specified by SD_URL. In this case the product provides the value for symbol. The value of URL_symbol is the URL that identifies the web server. For example, if a product associates symbol WS2 with an alternate web server, then define variable “URL_WS2” and assign the value the URL of the alternate web server.

USER_symbol

If URL_symbol is defined and the associated user ID is different from SD_USER, use USER_symbol to specify the associated user ID. For example, if the symbol is WS2, define variable “USER_WS2” and assign the value the associated user ID.

PASS_symbol

If URL_symbol is defined and the password of the associated user ID is different from SD_PASS, use PASS_symbol to specify the password. For example, if the symbol is WS2, define variable “PASS_WS2” and assign the value the password.
