Operations Center Web Services Guide

The Web Services Guide provides information on the Web Services Application Programmer Interface (WSAPI), which is an integration point for customer or third-party applications to interact with the Operations Center Server. The API provides a number of services that allow remote applications to query data warehoused in the Operations Center Server. You can also use the API to create, update, or remove a limited set of elements.

Documentation Conventions

A greater-than symbol (>) is used to separate actions within a step and items in a cross-reference path. The > symbol is also used to connect consecutive links in an element tree structure where you can either click a plus symbol (+) or double-click the elements to expand them.

When a single pathname can be written with a backslash for some platforms or a forward slash for other platforms, the pathname is presented with a forward slash to preserve case considerations in the UNIX* or Linux* operating systems.

A trademark symbol (®, ™, etc.) denotes a NetIQ trademark. An asterisk (*) denotes a third-party trademark.
