The message AIM uses communication objects to handle communications with the endpoint application. Once the message aim is initialized, the protocol object launches the communication object to establish the endpoint connection. The communication object then receives data from the endpoint and passes it to the protocol object to be processed using defined frame objects. The data is send to the endpoint programmatically using the communication object's send() method.
To set up the communication mode, use the Configurator. For more detailed information, see the e-Biz Impact Configurator Guide.
Defining a communications object
Select Communications from the list and click Add. The Communications window appears:
To configure the communications object, enter a name for the object in the Name field.
When you configure the ODL Application for the AIM in the Configurator, use the Icon Name as the name of the ODL Resource.
Specify the Icon Name for the communication object.
The Icon Name is required for both UNIX and Windows
operating systems.
Click OK to add the new communications object to the project.
See the e-Biz Impact ODL Guide for details about the kill(), restart(),
and send() methods, which are associated with
the communications object.
