What's New in V5R9 in CAA V5 Automation Objects

This article presents automation object, methods and properties that have been added since V5R8 GA to enhance CAA V5 automation capabilities, support functional evolutions and correct defects. Some of those modification already exist on V5R8 service packs. Only one method has been modified, VB and VBScripts code using this methods doesn't have to be modified. Due to the addition of methods on existing objects, VB projects must be recompiled.
