Service sites are the NEs that participate in a service.

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

Table 19-4: Service site objects

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

The genericObject.configureChildInstance method is used in the XML request to create a site. The XML response returns the <objectFullName> parameter that can be used to identify the new service site.

Service site creation parameters

• method - generic.GenericObject.configureChildInstance

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

• childConfigInfo - creates and configures the following service site parameters:

  • Service object - see Table 19-4, Service site objects

  • actionMask - specifies the create operation

  • <siteId> - IP address of the NE
