Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager provides an API that can be accessed over the HTTPS protocol using any standard HTTPS client. The interface provides the ability to query Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager discovered data and to manage user defined attributes for certain object types. The API can be used for searching the objects, listing their properties, and setting the extended attributes on them. Using Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager 6.1 you can also perform operations on some objects. These APIs can be invoked using the XPRTLC client or any other HTTPS client like cURL.

An extended attribute is an user-defined attribute that provides additional details about an object in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager. These extended attributes can be managed using the Web services API provided by Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager.

The base URL to access Web services API:

https://ManagementServer_hostname:14161/vom/api

where ManagementServer_hostname is the host name, fully-qualified host name, or IP address of Management Server.
