Systems Management API Support

CA VM:Director provides support for the IBM Systems Management Application Programming Interface (SMAPI) component of z/VM. With this support, a set of interface routines allow you to use CA VM:Director to perform directory management functions called as part of the Systems Management API.

This support replaces calls to IBM-supplied routines with calls to CA VM:Director commands. After you set up a Systems Management API server environment, you will use the instructions in this chapter to add CA VM:Director specific components that receive control when the SMAPI server environment receives a request from a SMAPI client.

For more information about the server and the Systems Management APIs, see the IBM Systems Management Application Programming manual.
