The Site Recovery Manager API Developer’s Guide provides information about programming applications with the Web services interfaces to VMware Site Recovery Manager.

This manual provides information about interfaces in the Site Recovery Manager for developers who are interested in automating configuration of Site Recovery Manager Virtual Appliance or Site Recovery Manager tasks.

Intended Audience

This book is intended for developers who want to set up their environment to program applications with the Site Recovery Manager API. These developers are typically programmers using the Java or C# language and libraries to perform configuration of Site Recovery Manager Virtual Appliance or perform replication, recovery, and reprotection of virtual machines in VMware vSphere.

Site Recovery Manager developers should have some familiarity with the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for transmitting XML across the network. However, the important interfaces are completely visible in Java or C# code.
Note: The SOAP-based Site Recovery Manager APIs are deprecated. For the latest features and functionality, use the Site Recovery Manager Configuration REST API Gateway and the Site Recovery Manager REST API Gateway.
