Developing an API program
Use Action Request System APIs to develop applications that integrate with Service Management applications. You must know how to write API programs and be familiar with AR System , including the overall architecture. In addition, you should be knowledgeable about the operating system for your environment and have some experience with client/server applications and plug-ins. The information here assumes that you are proficient in C programming and are familiar with arrays, pointers, structure types, and allocated memory. To use the XML import and export functions, you should be knowledgeable about XML.
