Welcome to the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Server Automation. Server Automation is a programming interface intended to allow external programs to interface to Geo SCADA Expert . You can use the interface from a number of different programming languages to:
- Programmatically create new objects, modify existing objects, or even delete objects in a Geo SCADA Expert database. This might be used to create a custom import tool, or create content in the Geo SCADA Expert database based on a set of rules.
- Programmatically query the objects in a Geo SCADA Expert database. This might be useful in creating custom reports or an export tool.
Server Automation uses the Common Object Model (COM) to export ActiveX Objects to external scripting or programming languages.
