DMTF::WSMan - Implements the WS-Management Protocol
This document describes DMTF::WSMan version 0.05
use DMTF::WSMan; my $wsman = DMTF::WSMan->new(user=>'user', pass=>'pass', port=623, protocol='http', host='example.com'); my $xml = $wsman->get( epr=>{ ResourceURI=>'http://example.org/management/instance', SelectorSet=>{ ID=>'Instance21', }, });
This module provides access to the WS-Management protocol, but is not intended to be used directly. The returns types are generally XML strings as are many of the arguments. Refer to DMTF::CIM for full usage.
Many of the following methods take an EPR argument. The EPR is simply a hashref with at least a ResourceURI element and optionally a SelectorSet hashref element.
new( [user=>user,] [pass=>password,] [port=>port,] [protocol=protocol,] [host=>hostname,] );
Creates a new WS-Management context optionally specifying various connection parameters.
user=>user
Specifies the user ID to use with autentication.
pass=>password
Specifies the password to use with autentication.
host=>hostname
Specifies the host that will be connected to.
port=>port
Sets the TCP port that will be connected to.
protocol=>protocol
Specifies the HTTP protocol that will be used. Valid values are:
get( epr=>epr )
Returns the response from a Get operation.
put( epr=>epr, body=>object )
Returns the response from a Put operation. The body argument is the complete contents of the SOAP body element.
delete( epr=>epr );
Returns the response from a Delete operation.
create( epr=>epr, body=>object );
Returns the response from a Create operation. The body argument is the complete contents of the SOAP body element.
invoke( epr=>epr, body=>object, method=>method );
Returns the response from a custom method invocation. When a method is provided, the action is constructed by appending "/" and the specified method to the end of the ResourceURI in the EPR.
enumerate( epr=>epr, filter=>filterxml, mode=>EnumerateObjects );
Returns all the responses to both an Emumerate and all the successive Pull operations to complete an enumeration.
The filter is included directly in the XML so must include the appropriate filter tags.
Mode specifies the enumeration mode. Available values are: 'EnumerateObject', 'EnumerateEPR', 'EnumerateObjectAndEPR'
get_selectorset_xml( epr )
Returns an XML representation of the SelectorSet tag constructed from the passed EPR using the same XML namespaces and prefixes that will be used in the actual message.
epr_to_xml( epr )
Returns an XML representation constructed from the passed EPR using the same XML namespaces and prefixes that will be used in the actual message.
This module will carp() on errors and return undef or an empty list.
