Integration interface overview
Figure 1 HP Matrix Operating Environment Integration Interfaces
Figure 1 (page 12) depicts the set of integration interfaces allowing customers and partners to integrate Matrix OE capabilities into their environment and products.
The integration interfaces include:
•Web Service Interfaces to initiate lifecycle operations on infrastructure services including creation and deletion of services, and to view or modify an existing service. These operations are also accessible via command line tools for use in scripts.
•Customizable OO workflows that are invoked during every IO operation. Customers can modify these workflows to integrate Matrix OE with enterprise processes.
•Customer or Partner authored OO workflows that may be associated with a particular infrastructure template and triggered as part of IO operations. For example, partners can use these integrations to provide unique capabilities related to their applications or for differentiated service management.
•Software deployment technology integration: Matrix infrastructure orchestration provides out-of-the-box integration with HP server deployment technologies and VMware and Microsoft Virtual Machine deployment technologies.
This document describes the Web Service Interfaces.
New features in 7.1 Update 1
The HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.1 Update 1 release includes a new v5 service endpoint with interface extensions. The v1, v2, v3, and v4 endpoints continue to be served, so clients of these interfaces remain compatible with the 7.1 Update 1 release.
