Transitioning between COM and COBIA

Highlights

Progressed on persistence by describing necessary details on the two API functions (DepersistPMCfromCOMdata and DepersistFromTransitionFormat) to be provided within COMBIA to developers on PME and PMC side in order to transition persistence between COM and COBIA. Arguments and return values were defined as well as error conditions and expected behaviour.

Transitioning functionality targeted to be released in version 1.2.0.2 of COBIA Runtime and SDK with expected uptake by CAPE software vendors in the next few weeks.

Next conference call is scheduled for March 10, 2021.
