## Overview
DCM manages IBM DataPower configuration through an Ant command-line interface and an UrbanCode Deploy plugin. The principal workflow is to invoke a management task, send its SOMA request over HTTPS, and consume the device response; configuration import/export, file transfer, domain and service operations, and backup/restore are distinct capability areas. XSLT transforms and XML utilities support configuration processing. The README documents the interfaces and capabilities; sampled source and the SOURCE INDEX ground the internal call links, while unsampled task wiring is not inferred.
Main entry points: [`src/com/ibm/dcm/SomaUtils.java`](https://github.com/ibm-datapower/datapower-configuration-manager/blob/master/src/com/ibm/dcm/SomaUtils.java) (SOMA XML Utilities), [`src/com/ibm/dcm/taskWdp.java`](https://github.com/ibm-datapower/datapower-configuration-manager/blob/master/src/com/ibm/dcm/taskWdp.java) (Management Tasks), [`src/com/ibm/dcm/SSLConnection.java`](https://github.com/ibm-datapower/datapower-configuration-manager/blob/master/src/com/ibm/dcm/SSLConnection.java) (HTTPS Connection), [`src/com/ibm/dcm/Soma.java`](https://github.com/ibm-datapower/datapower-configuration-manager/blob/master/src/com/ibm/dcm/Soma.java) (SOMA Operations)
