Private Data and Client Applications
Private Data allows Avaya Computer Telephony to take advantage of DEFINITY features.
A complete description of private data is beyond the scope of this document, but a simple
overview will help you understand how if affects your applications. At a conceptual level the
main points are as follows.
Private data is a switch-specific software implementation that provides value added
services. Your applications can take advantage of the private data services that are
included in the Telephony Services API.
An application that is based on “Private Data Version 5,” for example, can run on a
switch that is running “Private Data Version 6,” but the application is restricted to the
capabilities of Private Data Version 5. In this sense, private data version control is
transparent, or backward compatible.
If you want your Private Data Version 5 based applications to take advantage of Private
Data Version 6 capabilities, you must upgrade all the services your application uses to
Private Data Version 6.
For more information about private data services, see Avaya Computer Telephony,
Telephony Services Application Programming Interface (TSAPI) for Avaya MultiVantage
(DEFPROG.PDF). Table 1-1 summarizes application client platforms and private data
version compatibility.
