The Object Discovery Agent Development Kit (ODK) API has been
significantly enhanced to provide the following new features for an Object
Discovery Agent (ODA):
- Ability to generate files as content in addition to generation of business
object definitions
- Ability to associate an operating-system file with a node in the
source-node hierarchy
- Ability to determine how content generation is initiated:
- By Business Object Designer's Business Object Wizard
- By some user-defined method, which creates content "spontaneously"
and notifies Business Object Wizard when it is complete
Development of all new ODAs should use this new ODK API. For
information on how to use the new ODK API, see Developing an Object Discovery Agent. Classes and methods of the new ODK API are described
in ODK class reference. In addition, the manual now provides information on
how to compile an ODA and prepare it for execution in Adding an Object Discovery Agent to the business integration system.
