Developing OTDs for Communication Adapters

BatchLocalFile OTD Structure

The BatchLocalFile OTD contains four top-level nodes, Client, Configuration, PersistentState, and State Manager. Expand these nodes to reveal additional sub-nodes.

BatchLocalFile OTD Structure

Configuration Node

As it iw with each of the Batch OTDs, each field sub-node under the Configuration node in the BatchLocalFile OTD corresponds to one of the adapter’s configuration parameters for that OTD. See the BatchLocalFile Connectivity Map Properties for details.

Client Node

This OTD includes an additional top-level node, the Client. This node implements its respective functionality interface in the adapter.

The client interface represents how the functionality of the OTD is actually used. This functionality includes the basic operations and features of the OTD. The client interface provides the OTD’s the file services those who want to use them.
