WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Managing ALE

This topic provides information on the ALE Administrative Console, which allows you to administer the Application Level Events (ALE) server.

The ALE Administrative Console is installed with WebSphere® Premises Server and can be accessed by entering the following URL into a browser: http://localhost:portnumber/ale/admin, where localhost and portnumber are the hostname and port number of the computer hosting WebSphere Premises Server.

The ALE Administrative Console contains the following pages:
Server Requests
Allows you to submit commands to the ALE server and view responses. Submit commands by attaching a predefined XML file to the request. The XML file should conform with the XML and SOAP Bindings defined in Part II of EPCglobal's ALE 1.1 Specification.
Readers
Allows you to view all readers known to the system. This includes base readers, composite readers, and reader simulators.
Reports
Allows you to view incoming ECReports from the ALE server. To receive reports, start the TCP Callback and make a subscription, for example, through the Server Requests page, to a defined ECSpec using the appropriate notification URI, such as tcp://hostname:port.
Reader Simulators
Allows you to create reader simulators and associate them with the desired tag simulators. ECSpecs may then be defined referencing these simulators as logical readers. You may also import and export reader simulator configurations.
Tag Simulators
Allows you to create simulated EPC Class 1, Gen 2 tags. These may then be added to the fields of reader simulators. You may also import and export tag simulator configurations.
