The SCMS SM Java API is used for updating, querying, and configuring the Subscriber Manager (SM). It consists of two parts, which may be used separately or together without restriction.
•
SM Non-blocking Java API: A high-performance API with low visibility to errors and other operation results. Supports automatic integrations with OSS/AAA systems.
•SM Blocking Java API: A more user-friendly API. Supports user interface applications for accessing and managing the SM.
Note A set of APIs with exactly the same functionality is also available for the C/C++ environment.
