How to Read the Service Manager SDK Documentation
Applies To: System Center 2012 - Service Manager
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
The Service Manager 2012 SDK documentation describes product features. Each major product feature has its own documentation section, providing an overview of the feature together with key scenarios related to that feature. Each scenario contains one or more how to topics that teaches you an aspect about that feature.
Code Examples
Generally a “how to” topic will contain a code example written in C#. Additionally, if that code example can also be described by using management pack XML, or the code example would produce a piece of management pack XML, that will be supplied.
Code examples are methods that will accomplish a task outlined by the how to topic. The namespaces that were imported for the example will be listed together with any required DLL references.
Reference Material
Two reference sections exist: management pack XML reference and managed code reference. The management pack XML schema reference describes all of the XML nodes and attributes that you can use when crafting a management pack XML. The management reference material describes the APIs that the Microsoft supported SDK binaries provide.
