SOAP Message Construction
with WSMan::WSBasic
You can use the
WSMan::WSBasic
class to construct SOAP messages for
communicating with the WS-Management server.
The Perl module is located in
Perl/lib/WSMan/WSBasic.pm
. All
operations in this class return deserialized
SOAP::SOM
objects from which you can extract the fault
code or the SOAP replies.
You usually do not use this module directly.
Instead, you use the
GenericOps
module built on top of
WSBasic
.
GenericOps
supports generic operations as defined by the
DMTF standards. See
Generic CIM Operations with WSMan::GenericOps. If you want to use the
SOAP::SOM
library directly, see the CPAN documentation
for
SOAP::SOM
.
The
WSMan::WSBasic
module requires the following Perl
modules.
- SOAP::Lite–WSMan::WSBasicrequires Version 0.65 or later to form SOAP messages and to parse XML replies that are received from the WS-Management server.
- UUID– Generates UUIDs for the SOAP messages.
