Chapter 272
Adapting an Existing VPO Integration for VPO
A.07.00
NOTE If you need to integrate into VPO a partner solution that was integrated
into a previous (and recent) version of VPO, any integration points
introduced with VPO version A.07.00 will not be used. In addition, you
may have to recompile the application with the libraries from the latest
version of the VPO software, if those libraries have been changed.
The recommendations for adapting an existing VPO integration depend
on the evaluation of the integration. Two scenarios can be distinguished:
An existing integration was designed for the VPO version A.06.xx
release and takes full advantage of the integration capabilities
offered by this release for a tight integration to be achieved.
An existing VPO integration does not take advantage of the
integration capabilities offered by the VPO version A.06.xx release.
In the second case, in which the integration does not take full advantage
of VPO A.06.xx integration features, a complete verification of the
integration is recommended.
If you can leverage from a tight VPO A.06.xx integration, you might use
this integration as a starting point. Before starting, establish whether
you can enhance the integration by using features of the latest version of
VPO. Refer to the VPO Software Release Notes for more information
about the new features of VPO.
