Export ActiveX

Post by sengleb »

We want to connect the ActiveX (Com) to a third party open API ActiveX DCOM Server. We want to export the DataStage ActiveX (Com) Controls to the third party ActiveX DCOM Server. Is this Possible?

Any COM object should expose its methods to anything that calls it. All you need is to figure out how. The dsobjects.dll is not well documented, though most of the objects are described fairly well in a UniVerse manual called UniObjects Developers Guide which you can download from IBM's web site.

The burning question is what you want to achieve via the DCOM server! The dsobjects.dll control can only do things with a DataStage server environment.

We want to export the DataStage ActiveX (Com) Controls to the third party(Mercury) ActiveX DCOM Server to perform test automation with Mercury TestDirector/LoadRunner. We are looking into possibly using a custom plug-in/routine to do this. Do you beleive that is possible?
