1.0 Getting Started

All server components of WSAPI are included in the default installation of the Operations Center Server. For prior releases, check the Download Web site for patch availability.

A license separate from Operations Center is required to activate the WSAPI services. For licensing information, contact Technical Support.

The original version of WSAPI was 1.0. Version 1.1 was released in November 2008. WSAPI 1.1 adds three new service calls, as listed in Table 1-1, designed to facilitate the management of large services models through Web services.
