The ACI API allows custom-built applications to access Micro Focus ACI servers using the following HTTP action syntax:
http://host:port/action=action¶meters
where,
host
|
is the IP address (or name) of the machine on which the Micro Focus ACI server is running. |
port
|
is the port number that is used to send actions to the Micro Focus ACI server. |
action
|
is the action that you want the Micro Focus ACI server to run. |
parameters
|
are the required and optional parameters for the action. |
Consider the following example:
http://localhost:4000/action=query&text=dinosaurs&maxresults=1
This action sends the query text dinosaur to an Micro Focus ACI server (in this case IDOL server), which in response returns an XML result, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<autnresponse>
<action>QUERY</action>
<response>SUCCESS</response>
