Managing Subscribers Through SOAP > Developing Gateway Clients

Developing Gateway Clients

When you have installed Subscriber Manager, you can access a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file for the application. The WSDL file defines the public SOAP interface for Subscriber Manager. SDX owners and business partners can use this interface to develop gateway clients for Subscriber Manager.

The URL for the WSDL file is:

http://<host>:<portNumber>/sub/services/SubscriberManagement?wsdl

• <host>—IP address or name of the host that supports Subscriber Manager
• <portNumber>—Number of the TCP port

Trace Requests

Gateway clients can also submit trace requests to OSMW by means of Subscriber Manager after OSMW has executed an action. The trace requests do not initiate OSMW actions. Table 3 lists the trace requests and their functions.
