This assumes you are familiar with the basic usage of the Gateway Migration Utility. Following is an example of how to list every encapsulated assertion in an API Gateway.
/path/to/GatewayMigrationUtility.sh restman
-host apig.example.com
-port 8443
-username john.doe
-password f5VPX0yUJPg.m4BrjdgMv84UgktddJD3xA
-method GET
-path '1.0/encapsulatedAssertions'
Or the -argFile option can be used, to reduce the number of options that are used on the command line.
/path/to/GatewayMigrationUtility.sh restman
-argFile example.properties
-method GET
-path '1.0/encapsulatedAssertions'
Or, you can return a single encapsulated assertion by including the ID of the encapsulated assertion.
/path/to/GatewayMigrationUtility.sh restman
-argFile example.properties
-method GET
-path '1.0/encapsulatedAssertions/fa003c1f2478cc407b0a8acbba2aa199'
Or, you can use the -query option to return a single encapsulated assertion by including the name of the encapsulated assertion.
/path/to/GatewayMigrationUtility.sh restman
-argFile example.properties
-method GET
-path '1.0/encapsulatedAssertions'
-query 'name=assertion001'
The -response option can be used to output the XML to a file.
/path/to/GatewayMigrationUtility.sh restman
-argFile example.properties
-method GET
-path '1.0/encapsulatedAssertions'
-response /path/to/example.xml
Here is an example of the output that could be returned.
