For performance reasons, the read-only MOM SQL views are recommended when accessing data. If you need to modify the properties of a MOM object, the MOM Connector Framework or MOM Management Server Class Library should be used.

Changes to the MOM databases, such as adding tables, views, or fields, or modifying security settings, are not supported.

Rules that run script responses have access to MOM information through the MOM Runtime Scripting objects. These objects can be used when creating simple, rule-based one-way connectors. The objects are not designed to be used outside of a MOM rule. Their use in external programs or scripts is not supported.
