Here is the good news.... The Beta SDK has just released. Check here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh329086.aspxRegards, Ravi

Hi, I am developing Management pack for some huge datacenter (I am very new to this field). It is basically a plugin for SCOM 2007 R2 (msi installer in VB). On installation it copies mp to specific folder, imports a mp to the scom, create monitoring templates etc. Till SCOM 2007 R2 was there everything works great. By the arrival of SCOM 2012 Beta, I have to migrate my product, as the whole scenario has changed. Even I wanted to move from VB to C# First No RMS, it won't bother my product as it only requires a management server. Second SDK Binaries have changed. There is no "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common.dll" but instead there are two new dlls "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll" & "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Runtime.dll". Even "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.dll" has got reduced in there size. When I tried to manually import these dlls I got these warnings: Warning 1 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup.ImportManagementPack(Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement. Configuration.ManagementPack)' is obsolete: '"Please use ManagementPacks.ImportManagementPack()"' Warning 2 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup.GetMonitoringTemplates(Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement. Configuration.ManagementPackTemplateCriteria)' is obsolete: '"Please use Templates.GetMonitoringTemplates()"' Warning 3 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup.GetManagementPacks(Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement. Configuration.ManagementPackCriteria)' is obsolete: '"Please use ManagementPacks.GetManagementPacks()"' Warning 4 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup.IsUserAdministrator()' is obsolete: '"Please use Security.IsUserAdministrator()"' Warning 5 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup.UninstallManagementPack(Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement. Configuration.ManagementPack)' is obsolete: '"Please use ManagementPacks.UninstallManagementPack()"' and many more like these......... So I wanted to know how the implementation levels have changed as there is no reference regarding this.Is there any SDK released for SCOM 2012? How can I get the coding details for this product? Regards, Ravi

This is not available at this time. Please do a manual MP import and make sure that the R2 management packs are working as expected in your 2012 beta.Microsoft Corporation

I could manually import the MP but I am more worried about the Monitoring templates which my installer used to create. This also create template MP named after the server name fetched from the datacenter. To this MP (template one) I associate the RunAs Account. When this SDK will be released? What's the usual process of releasing the SDK? Will it come after the RC or RTM of software?Regards, Ravi
