Register the Mobile Tracker Device with MAP using a
SOAP Web Services Tool

In this step you will:

1. Register the mobile tracker with MAP.
2. Create MAP objects to represent and track the device.
3. Enable the features of the configured MAP objects.
4. Fire up the tracker so it reports data into MAP.

This process can be completed using any SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) web services tool. There are several SOAP tools available for use; however, the tool utilized within this guide is SoapUI. Using the SoapUI tool you will create messages, send them, and see their responses.

For an overview of the SoapUI tool please visit http://www.soapui.org/.

To download the SoapUI tool navigate to http://sourceforge.net/projects/soapui/files/.

All of the API calls described within this step require authentication; your MAP username and password credentials must be used. You can easily pass these credentials in the API call within the SOAP header using the following format:

<soap:Header><username>my_username</username><password>my_password</password></soap:Header>

To begin registering your mobile tracker device with MAP using SoapUI, proceed to the provisionDevice section.
