Init Method

The Init method is called when the VBC is first instantiated. It initializes the VBC. It expects to receive the list of fields supported by the external system.

Note: When a field is not initialized in the Init method of the VBC, the Update method is not fired when the field gets updated.

The following figure illustrates the property set for the Init input.
