In our last post we created a new group.  Now we’ll doing something truly exciting: We’ll add members to the group.  Adding and removing members is the same Put request.  The difference is we specify “Add” or “Remove” as the operation for...

Today we are going to create a new group using web services.  To create a new group, like creating any object in ILM, you must provide a starting value that includes all of the required attributes.  In the case of a group, we need to set a few...

Apologies for the delay in this post.  I use Windows Live Writer to compose the content on this blog.  It is a wonderful program that makes writing posts easy and straight-forward.  Best of all, it allows offline editing of new and existing...
