Code Examples

The following example searches for a specific Variable, identified by the VariableID (a unique guid), and updates the value.

namespace CodeSample.Microsoft.SystemCenter.SMA
{
    public class SMASamples
    {
        public static void Main()
        { 
            // Replace this with the name of your SMA web service endpoint.
            string serviceEndPoint = "https://sma-server:9090/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";                      

            // Setup the connection to SMA
            OrchestratorApi SMAService = new OrchestratorApi(new Uri(serviceEndPoint));

            // Set credentials to the default or to a specific user.
            ((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
            //((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pwd", "domain");

            try
            {
                // Identify a specific variable instance to search for.
                System.Guid variableID = new Guid("159fb0d4-8c32-4388-8944-a7ac07678d18");

                // Query for the specific variable instance identified by VariableID.
                var variable = SMAService.Variables.Where(r => r.VariableID == variableID).FirstOrDefault();

                // Modify variable instance property.
                variable.Value = "Modified Value";

                // Update the variable object.
                // Note: This action is queued up until the SaveChanges action is called.
                SMAService.UpdateObject(variable);

                // Save all pending actions (client -> server communication initiated).
                SMAService.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("An error occurred during execution.", ex);
            }
        }                 
    }
}
