Assigning Otypes

To assign an otype for the object spec, use tt_spec_type_set. You must set the type before the spec is written for the first time. It cannot be changed.

If you create an object spec without assigning an otype or with an otype that is unknown to the ToolTalk Types Database, messages addressed to the object cannot be delivered. (The ToolTalk service does not verify that the otype you specified is known to the ToolTalk Types Database.)
