How to Create or Remove a Connector by Using the OMCF Web Service
Applies To: System Center 2012 - Operations Manager
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
You can use the Operations Manager Connector Framework (OMCF) Web service to create a connector that makes it possible for Operations Manager to communicate with an external system.
Note
If the external system runs on a Windows-based computer, using the class libraries is the preferred method for creating the connector. For more information, see How to Create or Remove a Connector by Using the Operations Manager Class Libraries.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to create and remove a connector using the OMCF Web service. Before creating a connector, you can create an OMCF Web service proxy. For more information, see How to Create an OMCF Web Service Proxy.

myConnectorInfo.Description = "This connector was created using the OMCF Web service.";
// Define the Web service URI endpoint address for the Web service
// that is used to create the connector.
string uriEndpointAddress = "EnterURIEndpointAddressHere";
ConnectorFrameworkProxy OMCFProxy =
new ConnectorFrameworkProxy(uriEndpointAddress);
OMCFProxy.SetupWithConnectorId(myConnectorInfo, connectorId);
OMCFProxy.Initialize(connectorId);
Console.WriteLine("Created " + myConnectorInfo.Name +
" with ID: " + connectorId.ToString());
// Remove the connector.
Console.WriteLine("Removing connector with Id: " + connectorId);
OMCFProxy.Uninitialize(connectorId);
OMCFProxy.Cleanup(connectorId);
Console.WriteLine("Connector removed.");
}
}
