A IDL Changes and Enhancements

This appendix describes the differences between the IDL that supports ASOG 52 and the previous release of the ASR API IDL.

MetaSolv Solution APIs Impacted by IDL Changes and Enhancements

The only IDL changes and enhancements made for ASOG 52 involve the ASR API.

These ASR API IDL files were not changed for ASOG 52:

  • WDI.IDL

  • WDIUTIL.IDL

  • WDICABS.IDL

  • WDICABSTYPES.IDL

These files were added for ASOG 52:

  • WDIASRTYPES52.IDL

  • WDIASR52.IDL

New IDL Files

There are two new IDL files for the ASR API for ASOG 52, WDIASRTYPES52.IDL and WDIASR52.IDL. These files define all IDL elements of scope MetaSolv::CORBA::ASRTypes52. No IDL elements of other scopes are defined in this file. The WDIASRTYPES52.IDL is based on WDIASRTYPES51.IDL from the previous release.

WDIASR51.IDL Changed to WDIASR52.IDL

Removed statement to include WDIASRTYPES51.IDL.

Added statement to include WDIASRTYPES52.IDL.
