Developing OTDs for Communication Adapters

OTD Functions

OTDs provide the following functions:

All OTDs must be configured and administered using NetBeans IDE. Any client components relevant to these OTDs have their own requirements. See the client system’s documentation for details.

For the BatchFTP, BatchLocalFile, and BatchRecord OTDs, only those nodes for which there is a corresponding section in the Environment or Connectivity Map properties (From the Properties Editor) are implemented on the OTD. The remaining nodes are not implemented and are reserved for potential future use.

For the BatchFTP, BatchLocalFile, and BatchRecord OTDs, only those configuration parameters which appear in the Environment or Connectivity Map properties (From the Properties Editor) are supported for use on the OTD. The remaining configuration parameters are not implemented, and are reserved for potential future use. Even though an implemented configuration parameter might be accessed and used from a non-implemented node, such use is not recommended.
