How to retrieve the rule details with query_all_rules

In 9.x the signature for the query_all_rules() method is:

 

 

struct RuleDefinition { 
   string rule_name; 
   string rule_definition; 
 }; 
 RuleDefinition[] query_all_rules();

 

 

The method now returns an array of RuleDefinition structures.

 

 

Here's some code to query all rule names and rule defintions:

 

 

sub getRules() 
 { 
   $soapResponse = $LocalLBRule->query_all_rules();  
   if ( $soapResponse->fault )  
   {  
     print $soapResponse->faultcode, 
       "(faultstring) ", $soapResponse->faultstring,"\n";  
     print $soapResponse->faultcode, 
       "(faultdetail) ", $soapResponse->faultdetail, "\n";  
   }  
   else  
   { 
     $i = 0; 
     @RuleDefinitionList = @{$soapResponse->result}; 
     foreach $RuleDefinition (@RuleDefinitionList) 
     { 
       $rule_name = $RuleDefinition->{"rule_name"}; 
       $rule_definition = $RuleDefinition->{"rule_definition"}; 
  
       print "Rule $i\n"; 
       print "Name: $rule_name\n"; 
       print "Details: $rule_definition\n"; 
       $i++; 
     } 
   } 
 }

 

 

As you see, you cast the $soapResponse->result into an array. You then can enumerate that array and access the RuleDefinition members.
