New Paper: Integration with JazzSM Admin Services (OSLC)
A new paper has been released on the System Automation Application Manager WIKI: Paper: Integrating OSLC It contains information and examples (in Java® and PERL) on how to control End-To-End resources via REST calls. For scripting this eliminates the necessity to log on to the node hosting the SA Application Manager and does not need to start a JVM (like eezcs does). As always we are very interested in your feedback and any nice solutions (like handy scripts) you are developing. - Sebastian Wegmann

Version 3 of appcmd, the SA policy testing tool, is available
The tool appcmd can be used for testing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms policies as well as IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager end-to-end and Agentless Adapter policies. In order
to verify that your policies work as expected, they need to be tested.
In particular, it has to be tested whether resources are recovered as
