vCO Interface to VSM

[TheVMinator]

Is it possible to use vCO to query informatoin from VMware Service Manager, and is there a specific workflow already designed to do this?

There is a vCO plug-in for VMware Service Manager.

OK thanks.  Once I have this plug-in installed, does this allow me to use Javascript inside vCO to make calls to VSM to get information about inventory objects?

I suppose so.

This plug-in is not developed by vCO team, but by VSM team themselves (or by 3rd party partner), so I'm not sure how much of VSM API is exposed in the plug-in and what scripting objects/methods are available.

Once you have plug-in installed, you can use API Explorer in vCO Java client to browse the available VSM scripting objects/methods. Or you may try to contact VSM team for more information - there should be VSM forums/mailing lists out there.
