SOAP-based Web service
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is used by Web services for exchanging XML messages typically
through HTTP and SMTP.
APM can monitor the running status of SOAP-based Web services. This chapter describes how to add
and modify an application monitor for a SOAP-based Web service, and helps you view the monitor
report.
Adding a SOAP-based Web service application monitor
APM monitors a SOAP-based Web service through accessing the HTTP port that service uses. When you
add a SOAP-based Web service application monitor, follow these guidelines:
 Add the RESTful Web service host to the IMC Platform so APM can obtain and display network
connections of the host and the access device. For information about adding hosts to the IMC
Platform, see HP IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide.
 Obtain the username and password used to access the SOAP-based Web service if the service
requires identity authentication.
 To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the SOAP-based Web service application, make sure
at least one probe is configured in APM. After a SOAP-based Web service application monitor is
added, APM sends the IP address and port of the monitored RESTful Web service application to the
probes for traffic collection.
To add an application monitor for the SOAP-based Web service:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
 Select Application Manager > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
 Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and click Add on
the application monitor list page.
3. Click SOAP Service of the Web Service Monitor class.
The page for adding a SOAP-based Web service application monitor appears.
4. Configure the following parameters for the application monitor:
 IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host where the SOAP-based Web service to be
monitored resides. If the host is already added to the IMC Platform, you can also click Select
and select the host from the Select Devices window. For information about selecting a host, see
