API for ACP

You can develop your own application to update information about subscribers and congestion points for ACP. The application can call one method to interact with ACP. This method is called:

update (in RemoteUpdateType rut, in TagValueList attrs)

The method takes a property-value pair and passes the information to ACP. For information about the properties and values you can pass to ACP, see the file acpPlugin.idl in the folder SDK/idl in the SDX software distribution.

To create an application that updates ACP remotely:

1. Compile the IDL file, and generate the code in the language in which you want to write the application.
2. Write the application, and include the generated code for the IDL file.
3. Use the CORBA object reference defined in the property ACP.syncRateAdaptor.ior to send data from the application to ACP.

For information about the interfaces, properties, and methods available in the CORBA remote API for ACP, see the documentation in the SDX software distribution at SDK/doc/idl/acp/html/index.html.
