Using the Administrator Service

The Administrator service can be used to perform actions against TIBCO MFT Command Center. These actions include configuration actions such as adding users, servers, and transfers; managing system servers and keys; managing TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server nodes, profiles, and responder profiles; managing audits, and other actions normally done using the TIBCO MFT Command Center GUI.

Procedure

  1. Contact the Administrator service at https://[DNS_HostName]:[Port]/ContextName/control?view=services/ AdministratorService.
  2. Execute the getSession (or getBWSession) method of the Administrator service.
    This call returns a session string that is to be used in all further contact to the Administrator service.
  3. Execute all other service methods needed to perform the required task.
  4. Execute the closeSession method of the Administrator service.

    This action will close the current session.

    The getBWSession method is equivalent to the getSession method with the following exception. If the getSession method is executed, any subsequent call within this session that returns an array of data will return a null record as the last record in the array. If the getBWSession method is executed, any subsequent call within this session that returns an array of data will not return a null record as the last record in the array.
