Service Management Automation Developer's Guide

The Service Management Automation web service is a REST based service that exposes Service Management resources and relationships through Open Data Protocol (OData). You can access the web service using programming languages such as C# or scripting languages such as Windows PowerShell to automate Service Management Automation functionality including the following:

  • List runbooks/jobs and their details.

  • Start a runbook.

  • Start/Pause/Resume a runbook job.

  • Manage assets.

  • Manage Administrative Configuration values.

You can interact with the Service Management Automation web service using URL syntax. This can be directly typed into the address bar of a browser or more commonly in a script or programming code in order to automate Service Management Automation functionality. You use a GET request method to retrieve data from the Service Management Automation Web service and a POST request method to update data. Data is returned in XML according to the AtomPub standard.
