Create (POST) ConnectionTypes
Update using the HTTP POST operation.
Important
After creating a ConnectionType instance, it’s necessary to update the IsBeingCreated property from true to false. This is required after initial creation, before using the ConnectionType instance. See the Update (PUT/MERGE) ConnectionTypes topic for more information.

Code Examples
The following example creates a new ConnectionType.
namespace CodeSample.Microsoft.SystemCenter.SMA
{
public class SMASamples
{
public static void Main()
{
// Replace this with the name of your SMA web service endpoint.
string serviceEndPoint = "https://waplabvm4:9090/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";
// Setup the connection to SMA
OrchestratorApi SMAService = new OrchestratorApi(new Uri(serviceEndPoint));
// Set credentials to the default or to a specific user.
((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
//((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pwd", "domain");
try
{
// Create a new ConnectionType instance.
var connectionType = new ConnectionType();
// Populate various properties with values.
connectionType.Name = "ConnectionType Name";
// Add the new ConnectionType instance to the ConnectionType collection.
// Note: This action is queued up until the SaveChanges action is called.
SMAService.AddToConnectionTypes(connectionType);
// Save all pending actions (client -> server communication initiated).
SMAService.SaveChanges();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new ApplicationException("An error occurred during execution.", ex);
}
}
