All of sudden I am getting empty responses when I issue any AXL request from the server. The following is one of the example. Am I having problem with AXL service problem in the server? If it is, is there a way to restart the service without rebooting the server? Can someone help me why I am getting no data from the server?

Thanks,

Jung

David,

Do you have any idea on the problem I am having?

Thanks,

Jung

Haven't seen this particular issue before. Are similar empty responses happening for other requests? All other requests?

The AXL logs would be the first place to look. You can attach here for a quick check, but I would recommend opening a case with Cisco Developer Services for a formal investigation.

It is possible to restart the AXL service from the UCM serviceability admin pages (Tools/Control Center - Feature Services.)

It is also possible to restart the AXL service via the Servcieability SOAP API (ControlCenterServicesPort)

Depending on the problem, though a Tomcat service restart could be needed to clear the problem (if it can be cleared), which can't be done via either mechanism (though it can be done via the UCM CLI.)

All of the API responses coming back as empty except for executeSQLQuery request. I am openint the case with TAC also. I am having call with one of our customer to look at this problem. It's a production server and it is windows OS. Can I just restart the Cisco Tomcat Service using Control panel? I am familiar with UCM CLI for linux but not Windows.

Thanks,
Jung

Sorry, I was thinking of the Linux versions when I responded regarding restarting. You are correct, you should be able to restart IIS (which is hosting AXL on 4.3) via the Windows services controls.

Do you know if the customer has possibly implemented multi-level authorization (MLA?) I am aware that there are some problems with AXL and MLA on 4.x, with the workaround being to not use a MLA credential set for AXL, rather use the windows admin credentials.

We have created an AXL user on our CUCM v6.1.2 so we can use SolarWinds to gather CDR data for us. We need to create a similar AXL user on our CUCM running v4.3 (but we can't find any documentation or anyone at Cisco who knows how). Please let us know the way to create the AXL user which can be accessed in order to extract CDR. We currently have 8 different clusters and need a good way to get accurate data in a central location.
