iApp management using iControl and Perl...

Is your question why you aren't seeing any iApp Services returned from the get_list() method? If so, it could be for a couple of reasons.

 

 

1. Are you in the correct partition? If the iApp was created in a different partition than "/Common" then you will have to make a call to change your context.

 

 

2. Are you in the correct folder? By default, queries will be returned based on the current folder. /Common is both a partition (from previous versions) and a folder (from v11 on). iApp Services are created in subfolders in the form of servicename.app. The easiest way to find everything is to set the recursive query flag to true to return all objects in or below the current folder. This is done with the System.Session.set_recursive_query_state method. I discuss the ins and outs of folders in this article:

Hope this helps...
