Creating a Service Optimization corpus for Xoom (technical)
Xoom was able to mock a Service Optimization environment for the purposes of Xoom customisation and support since version 3.0. In version 3.1, this ability has been expanded, allowing a higher degree of control over what information is captured and how that information is used during environment reconstruction. Here we provide the information on how to create a corpus containing the captured communication.

It constitutes of running an installer supplied by Zany Ants and answering a handful of questions in order to allow Xoom to connect to the local installation of Service Optimization. The installer does the rest by checking the prerequisites, installing Xoom and, if necessary, registering custom components that are needed on Service Optimization side for Xoom to fully function.
Configuration versioning using Xoom (technical)
In this tutorial, we describe the steps to set up a scheduled task that at regular intervals acquires a configuration snapshot using Xoom and stores the resulting Xoom file into a Subversion repository. This results in the ability to see what changes, intended or not, were made to the configuration of the system at what time, and allows the user to effectively revert back to the configuration at any point in the past.
