Issue/Introduction

Configured webservices_rest version 8.51 in UIM 8.5 environment and observed that it is giving output for the below url http://umpip:port/rest/version-info

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> - <version_info> <value>Nimsoft RESTful web services interface: version: 8.5.1-B, build_number: 150087</value> </version_info> .

but while trying to use http://umpip:port/rest/ or http://umpip:port/rest/alarms its throwing error as HTTP Status 404 - Not Found
 

Cause

The webservices_rest probe is updated to run with the latest CA UIM database schema. When updating UIM, be sure to download the webservices_rest probe with the corresponding version number. Do not download webservices_rest with a later version than your CA UIM, doing so may break endpoints.

Environment

UIM : 8.50
webservices_rest : 8.51
