Unable to make getCss SOAP call on cisco callmanager version 9.1

[saptharsh]

I see that my SOAP calls that are being made using SOAP UI are not working whenever it involved CSS (calling search space) name as one of the parameters of the SOAP requests. The reason was due to the underscore in the CSS name. Below, I have given two kinds of requests and responses which I encountered.

1) (With an underscore in the CSS name)

Conclusion: Since all the CSS names like thousands have already been assigned the name consisting of an underscore, I need a work around to make SOAP API calls to the callmanager with the CSS name consisting of an underscore.

Furthermore: I have also noticed that, even in the XML developers cookbook(version 8.5) the demonstration for all the SOAP API calls with CSS names, have of an underscore. May be the calls work for callmanager with versions 8.5, But I am unable to make calls for the callmanager version 9.1. I can't fall back to 8.5 to make this work either. I have to make this work on Verison 9.1

The link to cookbook version 8.5 : https://developer.cisco.com/site/axl/learn/axl-developer-cookbook/

Any kind of suggestion or help is dearly appreciated. I am looking forward to have response and resolve this issue ASAP.

Hi Saptharsh,

Please try my samples.

1) Using name to getCss.

   .....

   <ns:getCss sequence="1">

      <name> + <Your name value> + </name>

   </ns:getCss>

   .....

2) Using uuid to getCss

   .....

   <ns:getCss sequence="1">

      <uuid> + <Your uuid value> + </uuid>

   </ns:getCss>

   .....

Note: Your name value = CSS_DEMO_ALL_INTERNAL

         Your uuid value = {1A725CFF-FBC0-D263-2925-67C487A01AD5}

You do not need to set </returnedTags>, you will get all elements. And if you want it returns some individual elements

you can set as follow: <returnedTags><name/><description/><clause/><partitionUsage/></returnedTags>

Hope this would help you.
