What's New in V5R15 in CAA V5 Automation Objects


This article presents automation object, methods and properties that have been added since V5R14 GA to enhance CAA V5 automation capabilities, support functional evolutions and correct defects. Some of those modification already exist on V5R14 service packs. A few properties and methods have been modified or suppressed. VB and VBScripts code using those methods may have to be modified. VB projects using the corresponding objects must be recompiled. 

Deprecated APIs can be found in CAA IDL API Deprecated Index.
