Operations Manager 2007 actor adapter requests and responses

The BMC Atrium Orchestrator Application Adapter for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 executes commands by using the web service API of Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007. The adapter requests use a set of elements and an operation name.

You can use the information in this section with the Call Adapter activity to create an adapter request. For detailed instructions about how to use the Call Adapter activity, see Call Adapter activity and Creating and configuring the Call Adapter activity.
