As an alternative to the web interface, CLI or CLP, the Web Services Management (WS-MAN)
service can be used to remotely manage the MergePoint SP manager and connected service
processors.
WS-MAN commands for the MergePoint SP manager can be entered using a WS-MAN client
such as Microsoft’s WinRM or the Openwsman CLI. The client is launched from a remote server
and connects to the MergePoint SP manager.
