Is there an example of how to use Platform API to take actions of a given fixlet? I read through the reference guide and import/export guide , but still couldn’t figure out. Thanks in advance.

Yes there is such an example in the Platform API documentation.

Go to this page on the developer wiki about Platform API;

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/BigFix%20Platform%20API

The link for the document is:

http://software.bigfix.com/download/bes/misc/BESPlatformAPIReference71_20080902.pdf

O page 28, there is a Perl example to load a Fixlet with a specific ID and takes an action from that Fixlet, using the FixletMessage.ActionXML and XMLImporter.ImportAction methods.

Thanks. Does it support other scripting languages other than Perl?

The TEM Platform API is based on Microsoft COM, so any programming environment capable of calling COM will work.

Others have used .NET (C#, VB) and VBScript.
