SDP bindings are associations of SDPs to services. The SDPs are required only on distributed services. A distributed service spans more than one NE. SDPs are used to direct traffic from one NE to another through a service tunnel.

The XML API allows you to create and manage SDP bindings by using the classes specified in the following table.

Table 19-6: Service SDP binding objects

The following example shows the minimum XML parameter tags required to develop an XML request to create a basic service SDP bindings.

The genericObject.configureChildInstance method is used in the XML request to create a SDP binding. The XML response returns the <objectFullName> parameter to identify the new service SDP binding.

Service SDP binding creation parameters

• method - generic.GenericObject.configureChildInstance

• distinguishedName - svc-mgr:service-${*id}:${siteId}

• childConfigInfo - creates and configures the following SDP binding parameters:

  • Service object - see Table 19-6, Service SDP binding objects

  • actionMask - specifies the create operation

  • <tunnelSelectionTerminationSiteId> - assigns the termination site ID of the SDP binding
