About This Content

This document accompanies the application programming interfaces (APIs) that form the Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution (MSS) interface architecture. Information includes how the MSS APIs work, high-level information about each API, and instructions for using the MSS APIs to perform specific tasks.

Audience

This document is intended for CORBA developers who are developing applications that use the MSS APIs.

This document assumes you have a working knowledge of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standards, including an understanding of interface definition language (IDL). For details about CORBA fundamentals and programming or IDL syntax, refer to the documentation for your CORBA implementation.

This document helps you develop:

  • A high-level understanding of the general principles that govern the use of the APIs.

  • An understanding of the details of implementing an application that uses a specific API.

This document is not intended as a training tool, nor does it address the installation or use of any Oracle products. To fully integrate the MSS APIs with your product often requires knowledge of a specific MSS functional area.
