SQL adapter Standard request and response


The adapter request uses a single element, <action>, that contains the SQL statement to be executed. You can define one <action> element only for each Standard SQL adapter request. If the SQL statement contains a special XML character, the statement must be enclosed in CDATA. When you use a context item as an input for an adapter request, you must enclose the adapter request in the <request-data> elements. However, when you create a static request, <request-data> is not required and the adapter request starts with the <adapterName-adapter-request> element.

The following table describes the elements of an SQL standard actor adapter request.

Information
Recommendation

The SQL adapter supports the following root tags for an adapter request:

  • <sqlAdapterRequest>
  • <sqladapterRequest>
  • <sql-adapter-request>

BMC recommends that you use the <sqlAdapterRequest> root tag for the adapter request.

The following figure shows a standard (legacy) XML sample for the SQL actor adapter request. Use the adapter request XML when you create a custom process by using the Call Adapter activity in TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio.

XML sample of the SQL standard legacy actor adapter request


<sqladapterRequest>
 <action>select * from table1</action>
</sqladapterRequest>

The adapter request uses the <targets> element to configure multiple SQL adapter target computers. The following figure shows a standard (dynamic) XML sample for the SQL actor adapter request. Use the adapter request XML when you create a custom process by using the Call Adapter activity in TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio.

XML sample of the SQL standard dynamic actor adapter request


<sqlAdapterRequest>
   <targets>
     <target name="">
       <host>10.128.248.29</host>
       <port>3309</port>
       <user-name>root</user-name>
       <password>root</password>
       <subprotocol>mysql</subprotocol>
       <database>test</database>
       <driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver>
       <character-set>sjis</character-set>
     </target>
   </targets>
   <action>select * from test</action>
</sqlAdapterRequest>

 

Warning

Note

You can also specify targets (dynamically) that are not in the adapter configuration.

The following figure shows a standard XML sample for the SQL actor adapter request with Sybase Kerberos Authentication. Use the adapter request XML when you create a custom process by using the Call Adapter activity in TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio.

  <action>SELECT * FROM spt_monitor</action>
</sqlAdapterRequest>

The following figure illustrates an XML sample of the adapter response for the SQL actor adapter (legacy).

<sqlAdapterResponse>
   <row>
       <column name = "description" label = "description">my new value</column>

       <responseColumnCount>1</responseColumnCount>
       <status>success</status>
   </metadata>
</sqlAdapterResponse>

For a Standard dynamic request, for multiple configurations, if you provide the <target> tag, you observe the <target-outputs> tag in the corresponding response.

The following table displays the additional elements of a dynamic adapter response that are included with the target-output response element.
