Assigning Consumer Association with a Virtual Service
Pre-requisites:
To associate an Application asset (represented as a consumer application) with a Virtual Service asset through the CentraSite Command Line Interface (CLI), you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
When a virtual service associated with a consumer application is imported from a source instance to a target instance of CentraSite, the imported virtual service does not include the associated consumer application in the target instance.
CentraSite provides a command tool named set Consumer for this purpose. This tool associates a consumer application with a virtual service.
To associate a consumer application
Run the command set Consumer. The syntax is of the format: C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteCommand.cmd|sh set Consumer [-url <CENTRASITE-URL>] -user <USER-ID> -password <PASSWORD> -application <CONSUMER-APPLICATION> -service <VIRTUAL-SERVICE>
The input parameters are:
Parameter | Description |
CENTRASITE-URL | (Optional). The URL of the CentraSite registry. For example, http://localhost:53307/CentraSite/CentraSite. |
USER-ID | The user ID of a registered CentraSite user who has the CentraSite Administrator role. For example, Administrator. |
PASSWORD | The password for the CentraSite user identified by the parameter USER-ID. |
CONSUMER-APPLICATION | The name or key of an Application asset (consumer application) you want to associate with a virtual service. |
VIRTUAL-SERVICE | The name or key of the virtual service to which you want to associate the consumer application identified by the parameter CONSUMER-APPLICATION. |
Example (all in one line):
The command for associating a consumer application with a virtual service with an administrator account INTERNAL\Admin and password AdminPW would be:
C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteCommand.cmd set Consumer -user INTERNAL\Admin -password AdminPW -url http://localhost:53307/CentraSite/CentraSite -application ConsumerApplication -service SampleVirtualService
