With any new release comes changes to the API, or at least new versions of the API you can target.

Veeam Service Provider console Version 7 is a big release so there are a LOT of changes, a few breaking, some URL / routing changes but also a heap of new changes to support the new functionality. So if you are using 3.2 today (or lower) and are planning on moving to 3.3 of the schema, buckle up.

As you can see this has been a MASSIVE release and just goes to show the focus Veeam have been putting into their applications when it comes to programatic access.

Breaking Changes

Let us start with these as if you target / use any of these then something is going to break...

Added the read-only:true attribute to the automaticExtensionStatus property of the PulseLicense schema. Any changes to the property value will not apply.
