+ <div class="title">SOAP based webservice from Dell to check server support status</div>
+ <div class="date"> 1st June 2012</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>A few years ago I wrote
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Checking_server_hardware_support_status_for_Dell__HP_and_IBM_servers.html">how
+to extract support status</a> for your Dell and HP servers. Recently
+I have learned from colleges here at the
+<a href="http://www.uio.no/">University of Oslo</a> that Dell have
+made this even easier, by providing a SOAP based web service. Given
+the service tag, one can now query the Dell servers and get machine
+readable information about the support status. This perl code
+demonstrate how to do it:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+use strict;
+use warnings;
+
+use SOAP::Lite;
+use Data::Dumper;
+
+my $GUID = '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111';
+my $App = 'test';
+my $servicetag = $ARGV[0] or die "Please supply a servicetag. $!\n";
+my ($deal, $latest, @dates);
+
+my $s = SOAP::Lite
+ -> uri('http://support.dell.com/WebServices/')
+ -> on_action( sub { join '', @_ } )
+ -> proxy('http://xserv.dell.com/services/assetservice.asmx')
+ ;
+my $a = $s->GetAssetInformation(
+ SOAP::Data->name('guid')->value($GUID)->type(''),
+ SOAP::Data->name('applicationName')->value($App)->type(''),
+ SOAP::Data->name('serviceTags')->value($servicetag)->type(''),
+);
+
+# Do the grabbing
+my $asset = $a -> result;
+
+print Dumper($asset) ;
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The output can look like this:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+$VAR1 = {
+ 'Asset' => {
+ 'Entitlements' => {
+ 'EntitlementData' => [
+ {
+ 'EntitlementType' => 'Expired',
+ 'EndDate' => '2009-07-29T00:00:00',
+ 'Provider' => '',
+ 'StartDate' => '2006-07-29T00:00:00',
+ 'DaysLeft' => '0'
+ },
+ {
+ 'EntitlementType' => 'Expired',
+ 'EndDate' => '2009-07-29T00:00:00',
+ 'Provider' => '',
+ 'StartDate' => '2006-07-29T00:00:00',
+ 'DaysLeft' => '0'
+ },
+ {
+ 'EntitlementType' => 'Expired',
+ 'EndDate' => '2007-07-29T00:00:00',
+ 'Provider' => '',
+ 'StartDate' => '2006-07-29T00:00:00',
+ 'DaysLeft' => '0'
+ }
+ ]
+ },
+ 'AssetHeaderData' => {
+ 'SystemModel' => 'GX620',
+ 'ServiceTag' => '8DSGD2J',
+ 'SystemShipDate' => '2006-07-29T19:00:00-05:00',
+ 'Buid' => '2323',
+ 'Region' => 'Europe',
+ 'SystemID' => 'PLX_GX620',
+ 'SystemType' => 'OptiPlex'
+ }
+ }
+ };
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>I have not been able to find any documentation from Dell about this
+service outside the
+<a href="http://xserv.dell.com/services/assetservice.asmx?op=GetAssetInformation">inline
+documentation</a>, and according to
+<a href="http://iboyd.net/index.php/2012/02/14/updated-dell-warranty-information-script/">one
+comment</a> it can have stability issues, but it is a lot better than
+scraping HTML pages. :)</p>
+
+<p>Wonder if HP and other server vendors have a similar service. If
+you know of one, drop me an email. :)</p>
