Service Management Automation (SMA)
System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator adds support for
PowerShell Workflows through the SMA feature
Browser-based runbook authoring integrated into the WAP Admin Portal
Supports requirements for scale and high availability
Import PS modules and create additional modules and runbooks
Check out the Building Clouds Blog for an Introduction to SMA

Introduction
Introducing PowerShell Workflows
Workflows are a PS construct similar to a function or cmdlet
Converted to and executed as a Windows Workflow Foundation workflow
Workflows are different from a function/script/cmdlet
Workflows can execute commands in parallel or in sequence
Workflows can persist state
You can suspend/resume a workflow
Workflows “survive” OS shutdowns or network outages
Runs activities. Cmdlets are run inside of an InlineScript block

SMA enhancements to PowerShell Workflow
High availability workflow execution backed by SQL Server
Centralized, machine-independent store
Variables,
Credentials, Connections, Certificates
Schedules,
Modules,
Built-in
Actions (Trigger on Events)
Workflows, Checkpoints
versioning for workflows and modules
API interface over HTTP (Odata web service)

SMA : Working with modules
Creating SMA friendly PowerShell modules
•
Include for every cmdlets
•
Synopsis
•
Description
•
Help uri
•
Cmdlet should be able to take in a connection object as a parameter.
•
Cmdlets in the module should be stateless
•
Define output type for all cmdlets (IntelliSense)
