OD 5.5.1 dependency on OpenAPI ?

tvaughan

Hi,

I'm thinking that I need to use some OpenAPI functionality, and as I was purusing through the OpenDeploy 5.5.1 (for Solaris 8) manual to get more edumacated, I became somewhat confused.

If you have a stand-alone OpenDeploy 5.5.1 installation, you automatically have OpenAPI installed, right? From a second machine (my OD admin box), I'm able to remotely connect to my standalone OD installation, I'm able to review the deployments on my stand-alone box, etc, so I assume that when I installed OD 5.5.1, it auto-installed the functionality required to remotely administrate it, which I'm assuming is called "OpenAPI"

I guess I have two questions:

1) When I run "ps -ef | grep IWServiceServer" on this stand-alone box, I don't see anything running. Doesn't that indicate that OpenAPI ain't installed? If so, then why is my admin server able to connect/admin my stand-alone OD box?

2) Is there a published API of OpenDeploy services exposed via OpenAPI / RMI ? I looked through the OpenAPI developer's guide and didn't see any mention of OpenDeploy services.

TIA,

Tom
