Annette, Because there were no responses on the question, a support case was created automatically. It was acknowledged that the documentation is lacking in this area and I haven't needed to check if it was updated. As further deliberations occurred, the PCA integration was removed from scope so we got out of it but the artifacts requested remained unavailable. The following pieces of useful information was provided, however. The most detail I've found in previous cases is that READ permissions are required for all objects on the Oracle VM API. My thinking would be this could be potentially restricted further, but I'd need the insight of the Engineering team there.   API Function Name Usage login Provides authentication information to connect to the Web Service API logout Logs out of the Web Service connection at the end of each Session managerGetInfo or managerGet depending on OVM version Returns Manager object, which represents the Oracle VM Manager itself. This may be used to retrieve the VM Manager instance's current state, active time, UUID and version. clusterGetAll Returns a list of all Clusters available in the VM Manager; this can be used to retrieve individual Cluster timeout, File system IDs, heartbeat devices, associated servers, and the associated server pool. serverPoolGetAll Provides a list of all Server Pools; A grouping of associated Servers and VMs that may run on this server (also includes Affinity Groups). This can be used to gather data on Affinity Groups, the default keymap used for VMs in this Server Pool, settings such as whether Secure VM Migration is in use, associated VMs (assigned and unassigned) and the Server Pool's associated Zone if applicable serverGetAll Returns a list of all Servers, outlining Access Groups, the agent login account, BIOS information, Cluster information for that Server, hardware and CPU information, network information e.g. hostname and IP address, the current status of the server, version information for Oracle VM, network IDs, hosted VM and serial number information vmGetAll Returns all associated VMs. Can bee used to outline VM 'hardware', software and current VM status information, including Operating System information, allocated memory, communication information for said VM, and that VM's state serverPoolPolicyGetAll Returns all Server Pools' policy information; the ServerPoolPolicy controls DPM/DRS behaviour for VMs, based on processor usage - this can be used to confirm whether these settings are enabled, how often this is examined, which Servers are incorporated into this policy, policy modes and how the DPM/DRS is configured ethernetPortGetAll Lists all associated Ethernet ports; outlines IP Addresses, MAC information, the state and type of these ports, the associated Server of said ports, and interface information.       ...

Hi Murray - Thank you. Yes I do recall that 9.2 worked with SCCM 2003 and I was hoping that something from the time might still be lying around, perhaps in the dusty attic. The database schema changed drastically from 2003 to 2007 hence the concern. The question originated from a customer saying -  See what you can do integrate with my 2003 instance while we get up and running with the new one. Perhaps I can just say we will try it out as you suggest. I still have a couple days before I have to turn in my answer so more responses are certainly welcome. Many thanks. Regards, Pushkar ...

Will it be more appropriate to create a support case? ... View more

If you would be so kind to entertain some more questions on this subject. If the service exists solely as a wrapper, why is it called 'Flexera Inventory Manager security service' and what is meant by the term 'security agent'? What measures have been taken to ensure a rogue plugin will not be loaded by the service? Is there a penetration test report available for this service? Can you please provide a listing of the types of operations that can be expected and to what effect have they been included? Regards, Pushkar ... View more
