Installing the CallAPI for Java

The Automation Engine supplies a CallAPI for Java. It enables calls in the Automation Engine from your own programs, but can also be used through the command line or a batch file.

To install the CallAPI for Java, you need to set up the system environment and adjust the INI file (ucxbjxxc.ini) of the Java CallAPI accordingly, see Call API Java INI file.

Notes:

• The Call API can be used without having to install it, as the relevant files are installed when the corresponding agent is installed.
• You can keep your existing INI file even if there is a new Automation Engine version and adjust it as required.

In Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition, CallAPIs establish a connection to a TCP load balancer. The address of the load balancer must be defined on both sides: the Automation Engine and the CallAPI. The only exceptions are the CallAPIs for Java and SAP, which must be upgraded to use TLS/SSL to connect to the Automation Engine. These two CallAPIs establish a connection with the Java communication process (JCP) through an HTTPS load balancer.
