XIA Links - Get all applications and their locations

To get all the applications that have been added to XIA Links, including their possible location paths, use the API which is accessed from the XIA Links Server homepage:

The GET_MyApplications operation returns a list of all the applications.  Each application within this list contains the name and a list of possible location paths.

Here is an example PowerShell script which connects to the server, gets the applications then loops through each application and writes out the name and possible location paths to a CSV file which is saved in c:\temp

# Connect to the server

Clear-Host

$url = "http://localhost/XIALinks/linksservice.asmx"

Write-Host "Connecting to XIA Links Server at" $url

$xia = New-WebServiceProxy -UseDefaultCredential -Uri $url

Write-Host "Connected as" $xia.WhoAmI()

Write-Host ""

# Write the CSV headers

$binaryData = "Application name, Possible Application Location Paths"

# Get all applications

Write-Host "Executing GET_MyApplications"

$response = $xia.GET_MyApplications()

# Get data for each application

foreach($application in $response.Applications)

{

    $binaryData += "`r`n" # Put each application on a new line

    $binaryData += $application.ApplicationName

    $binaryData += ","

    # Get each possible application location path

    foreach($possibleApplicationPath in $application.PossibleApplicationPaths)

    {

        $binaryData += $possibleApplicationPath + " "

    }   

}

Write-Host "Saving CSV file"

$filename = "c:\temp\xialinksapplications.csv"

[IO.File]::WriteAllText($filename,$binaryData)

[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($filename)
