Using AXL on CIMP

[stephan.steiner]

You can download an axl toolkit from CIMP servers. it contains the WSDL for an axl webservice, that allows you to e.g. query the cluster state, list users, execute SQL.

The toolkit comes just as the corresponding toolkit from CUCM - the sample app, some schema files, compilation hints, and that's that.

Is there any documentation for that guide? I'm looking for examples, e.g. listUser seems to work quite differently from how things work on CUCM. Or when I call getClusterNodesAndCriticalServices for my CUP nodes (that I'm listing with getClusterInfo), I do get an empty <assignedSubcluster> even though the server is clearly assigned to a subcluster (can be seen under presence redundancy groups in ccmadmin, or under "System - Presence Topology" on CIMP itself

AXL on CIMP is 'nominally supported' in that the engineering team is OK with developers using it, but it is not maintained/tested (documented, etc.) in the same way that CUCM AXL is.  You can generate HTML docs based on the WSDL using various tools like XMLSpy or Eclipse/Oxygen if you like.  As far as functionality, about all I can suggest is opening tickets with DevNet dev support - they can help follow up with engineering to see what's happening under the hood.
