Remarks
References are used in your management pack when you want to reference the public type definitions and monitoring workflows of other sealed management packs. All the core type definitions and workflows are defined in management packs that are shipped with Operations Manager. These are imported by default and are used by most management packs.
For an example of how the References element is expressed in a management pack, see Manifest.
Example
Following is a sample of how a management pack typically references a core type definition. In this case, a condition detection module is implementing a ConditionDetectionModuleType type that is defined in the System.Library management pack.
<Reference Alias="System">
<ID>System.Library</ID>
<Version>6.1.7221.0</Version>
<PublicKeyToken>9396306c2be7fcc4</PublicKeyToken>
</Reference>
