3.4 Application Programming Interfaces
In general. VitalQIP supports data exchange in XML, CSV and also allows SQL access.VitalQIP
provides a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based interface for North bound systems to data
exchange and other interactions. Interface messages are encoded using Extensible Markup Language
(XML), and use HTTP or HTTPS for transport. A Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
document specifies interface operations, their associated messages and message parameters, the schema
for the data types required by the messages, port types, and binding information. Selected transactions can
be scheduled. This interface could also be leveraged should the need arise to integrate with other Alcatel-
Lucent or non-Alcatel-Lucent software products, such as billing, radius, network access security, trouble
ticketing, etc.
The API Toolkit is a developer's toolkit comprised of the VitalQIP Application Program Interface (API)
routines and the Lucent Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server API routines. These API
routines allow for the extension and integration of VitalQIP into other critical applications such as asset
tracing, other network management applications, and billing applications. The API provides a C interface
to VitalQIP functions. It is intended to serve those applications that must invoke VitalQIP functions but
cannot or should not use the existing command line utilities. Each API routine returns an integer
indicating success or failure. If the return code is less than zero, then an error occurred. The value of the
return code indicates the general error condition. In addition, the API provides access to the VitalQIP
internal error codes, enabling more detailed error analysis.
This expanded powerful set of APIs allows for the extension and integration of VitalQIP into other
critical applications. They allow an installation to integrate VitalQIP functions and information into other
systems, including other network management, asset tracking, or billing applications. The components of
the VitalQIP API Toolkit include:
•
Header files containing prototypes for functions and structure definition.
•
Library files required for compiling and linking the APIs with external customer applications.
•
API product documentation or programming guide.
3.5 Database
VitalQIP software and appliance solution is packaged with a Sybase relational database. In particular,
VitalQIP comes with a run time license for Sybase. VitalQIP software-only solution can run with an
Oracle database, which is supplied by the customer.
