iControl API Validation

The WebAccelerator WSDL, and API shows the invalidate methods return ‘void’, which means I can’t get a positive confirmation that my “invalidate” messages are received and processed successfully

 

 

So

 

1. Via the WebService API’s, is there any calls I can make to verify my purge requests are being processed

 

 

OR

 

 

2. Where in the logs can I see positive confirmation that my purge requests are received and processed. Are these logged?

    As with all of our API methods that have no return type, if you get a valid return, then that implies that the method succeeded. If it failed for any means, then a SOAPFault will be returned to your calling application and you can get the exception details in the response.

     

     

    As for the WA Proxy methods, I'm not sure whether successful calls are logged, but I would assume that they are not. You will need to rely on the lack of an exception in the response as your positive confirmation.

    Thank you for your reply!

     

     

    Where would the log message be if it is logged?
