7 C HAPTER 1 Overview This chapter includes the following topics: Description of the COM API, 1 Sample Application, 2 Description of the COM API An application can run a Conversion Agent service by calling the Conversion Agent COM API. The API is multithreaded and re-entrant, supporting high throughput applications. The API activates Conversion Agent Engine. It enables you to: Retrieve the names of deployed Conversion Agent services. Define the service to run. Define the input location or type, such as a file path, URL, string, stream, or buffer. Define the output location or type, such as a file path, string, or stream. Run the service. Retrieve the execution status. Note: The COM API does not support streamers, service parameters, multiple inputs and outputs, or running Conversion Agent Engine out-of-process. To use those features, use one of the other Conversion Agent APIs. Platform Support The COM API runs on Microsoft Windows platforms. Programming Language Support The examples and syntax in this book are presented in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. You can program in any language that offers COM (ActiveX) support, such as Visual Basic.NET or Visual C++. 1

8 Getting Started For a hands-on lesson on using the COM API, see Getting Started with Conversion Agent. The lesson uses the COM API to program an application that runs a Conversion Agent service. The complete source code is provided. Procedure for Using the API The following is a typical procedure for using the COM API: 1. In Conversion Agent Studio, configure a transformation. 2. Deploy the transformation as a Conversion Agent service. For more information on steps 1 and 2, see the Conversion Agent Studio User Guide. 3. Program an application that calls the COM API to run the service. The application should perform the following operations: Optionally, use the CMDS object to retrieve the names of deployed Conversion Agent services. Use the CMRequest object to construct an execution request. The request specifies the service name and input/output locations or types. Use the CMEngine object to execute the request. Use the CMStatus object to retrieve the execution status, such as the return code and any error information. 4. Compile the application. 5. Install and run the application on a Windows host where Conversion Agent Engine is installed. Sample Application The following is a Visual Basic 6.0 application, which uses the COM API to run a Conversion Agent service. The Visual Basic project references the Conversion Agent COM API library, which is called CM_COM3 1.0 Type Library (CM_COM3.dll). RunCMService Function The application contains a RunCMService function, which calls the COM API. The function accepts a buffer storing the input of a transformation. It generates the output as a string. The parameters are: strservice String In The name of the Conversion Agent service. varbufin Variant In An input buffer containing the source document of the transformation.the buffer can contain either text or binary input. lngbufinlength Long In The length of the input buffer in bytes. stroutput String Out A string containing the output of the transformation. In case of an error, the string contains an error message. Return value Integer Out 1 if the service ran successfully. Source Code Function RunCMService( _ 2 Chapter 1: Overview

The program assumes that the Conversion Agent service accepts input that is encoded in the system code page. The code perform the following operations: 1. It sets the input to the string "abcdef120". 2. It stores the input in a buffer. 3. By default, Visual Basic stores strings in the Unicode encoding. The code converts the input to the system code page. 4. The code calls RunCMService., requesting that Conversion Agent run a service called Parser1 on the input. 5. If RunCMService succeeds, the code displays the XML output that Parser1 generated. If RunCMService fails, the code displays an error message.

11 C HAPTER 2 Object Model Reference This chapter includes the following topics: Overview, 5 CMDS Object, 5 CMRequest Object, 6 CMEngine Object, 9 CMStatus Object, 10 Overview The COM API is defined in the file CM_COM3.dll, which is located in the Conversion Agent program folder. By default, the location is c:\program Files\SAP\ConversionAgent\bin. In the Visual Basic project references, the file is called the CM_COM3 1.0 Type Library. The library provides four COM objects: Object CMDS CMRequest CMEngine CMStatus Description Retrieves the names of Conversion Agent services. For more information, see CMDS Object on page 5. Generates a request string, which contains instructions for Conversion Agent Engine such as the service to run and the input/output locations. For more information, see CMRequest Object on page 6. Executes the request in Conversion Agent Engine. For more information, see CMEngine Object on page 9. Retrieves information about the status of Conversion Agent Engine operations, such as the return code and error descriptions. For more information, see CMStatus Object on page 10. CMDS Object This object lets you access the Conversion Agent repository. The object exposes the ICMDS interface. 5

12 GetServiceList Method Function GetServiceList() As String This method returns all deployed service names. Return value String Out A Unicode string containing all deployed service names. The names are separated by semicolons. CMRequest Object This object constructs request strings, which contain instructions for Conversion Agent Engine. A request string specifies: The Conversion Agent service to run The input location or format The output location or format Optionally, a user name and password that the service can use to access an HTTP server requiring authentication The object exposes the ICMRequest interface. To use the CMRequest object: 1. Call one of the input methods to define the input location. 2. Call one of the output methods to define the output location. 3. Pass the results of the input and output methods, along with other parameters such as the service name, to the request generation method. This generates the request string. 4. Pass the request specification to the CMEngine object, which executes the request. Input Methods The COM API supports input from a file, URL, string, buffer, or stream. For example, if you want the Conversion Agent service to parse a source document that is stored in a file, call the FileInput method. If the source document is available from a COM object that exposes the IStream interface, call the IStreamInput method. The return value of the methods is a Unicode string containing an input specification. FileInput Method Function FileInput(fileName As String) As String This method defines a file, where a service should obtain its input. filename String In A Unicode string containing the input file path and name. Return value String Out The input specification. TextInput Method Function TextInput(text As String) As String 6 Chapter 2: Object Model Reference

13 This method defines a Unicode string of up to 2 kb, which is the input of a service. The COM API translates the Unicode to ANSI according to the system code page. If you call TextInput, the input encoding of the Conversion Agent service must be the system code page. For better performance, use the BufferInput method rather than TextInput. text String In The input Unicode string. Return value String Out The input specification. UrlInput Method Function UrlInput(url As String) As String This method defines a URL, where a service should obtain its input. url String In A Unicode string containing the URL. Return value String Out The input specification. BufferInput Method Function BufferInput(size As Long) As String This method specifies that a service should obtain its input from a buffer. size Long In The buffer size, in bytes. Return value String Out The input specification. IStreamInput Method Function IStreamInput() As String This method specifies that a service should obtain its input from a stream, which is any object that exposes the Microsoft IStream interface. Return value String Out The input specification. Output Methods The COM API supports output to a file, string, or stream. For example, if you want the Conversion Agent service to write its output to a file, call the FileOutput method to define the filename. You can include an absolute path in the filename, or you can call one of the OutputLocation... methods to define the path. The return value of the methods is a Unicode string containing an output specification. FileOutput Method Function FileOutput(fileName As String) As String CMRequest Object 7

14 This method defines a file, where a service should write its output. filename String In A Unicode string containing the output filename. Optionally, the name can contain an absolute or relative path. A relative path is resolved relative to a folder that you specify in an OutputLocation... method. Return value String Out The output specification. OutputLocation... Methods If you called the FileOutput method without specifying an absolute path, call one of the following methods to define the folder location of the output. Function OutputLocationCurrrentFolder() As String Function OutputLocationResultFolder() As String Function OutputLocationSpecifyPath(Path as String) As String Function OutputLocationGUIDFolder(Path as String) As String The methods have the following explanations: Method OutputLocationCurrrentFolder OutputLocationResultFolder OutputLocationSpecifyPath OutputLocationGUIDFolder Description Specifies that Conversion Agent should store the output in the current folder. Specifies that Conversion Agent should store the output in the project Results folder. Specifies that Conversion Agent should store the output at a given absolute path. This method is the same as OutputLocationSpecifyPath, except that the output is stored in a system-generated subfolder of the path. The name of the subfolder is the service name followed by a GUID. The output of each request is stored in a separate subfolder. For example, if you call OutputLocationSpecifyPath("c:\temp"), Conversion Agent stores the output file in c:\temp. The methods have the following parameters: Path String In In the methods OutputLocationSpecifyPath and OutputLocationGUIDFolder, the output path. Return value String Out The output location specification. TextOutput Method Function TextOutput() As String This method specifies that a service should write its output to a string. Return value String Out The output specification. IStreamOutput Method Function IStreamOutput() As String 8 Chapter 2: Object Model Reference

15 This method specifies that a service should write its output to a stream, which is any object that exposes the Microsoft IStream interface. Return value String Out The output specification. Request Generation Method After you call the input and output methods, call the Generate method, which generates a request for processing in Conversion Agent Engine. Generate Method Function Generate( _ service As String, _ input As String, _ output As String, _ outputlocation As String, _ username As String, _ password As String) _ As String This method combines the results of the input and output methods with other parameters. It returns a Unicode request string, in the format required by the Exec method of the CMEngine object. The service and output parameters are required for all requests. The input parameter is recommended for all requests. If you omit it, the service runs on the input that is defined in the example_source property of the service. If the example_source of the service defines a document processor, the service applies it to the input. The username and password parameters are useful if the service accesses a web server that requires HTTP authentication. If they are non-empty, they override the user name and password that are defined in the project properties. service String In A Unicode string, containing the name of a service that Conversion Agent Engine should run. input String In The input specification, which is the return value of an input method. output String In The output specification, which is the return value of an output method. outputlocation String In For file output, the path specification, which is the return value of an OutputLocation... method. username String In A Unicode string, which contains a user name that the service should use for HTTP authentication. password String In A Unicode string, which contains a password that the service should use for HTTP authentication. Return value String Out The request string. CMEngine Object The CMEngine object executes a request in Conversion Agent Engine. The object exposes the ICMEngine interface. CMEngine Object 9

16 InitEngine Method Function InitEngine() As String This method initializes an instance of the Conversion Agent Engine. Call InitEngine when you first create a CMEngine object, before you call Exec. The code should confirm that InitEngine returns a success status. Otherwise, the output of Exec is unpredictable. Return value String Out A Unicode string containing a status report. For more information about interpreting the status report, see CMStatus Object on page 10. Exec Method Function Exec( _ request As String, _ input As Variant, _ output As Variant, _ outputstr As String) _ As String This method executes the service request. request String In The request string, which is the return value of the CMRequest.Generate method. For more information, see Request Generation Method on page 9. input Variant In An object containing the source document of the transformation: - For buffer input: the buffer object. In C++, it is a pointer to the buffer. - For stream input: the IStream object. In C++, it is a pointer to the IStream object. - For other input types: ignored. output Variant Out An object where the transformation writes its output: - For stream output: the IStream object. In C++, it is a pointer to the IStream object. - For other output types: ignored. outputstr String Out A string where Conversion Agent Engine writes output: - For text output: the output of the transformation. - For other output types: a status string. Return value String Out A Unicode string containing a status report. For more information about interpreting the status report, see CMStatus Object on page 10. CMStatus Object The CMStatus object retrieves status information about Conversion Agent Engine operations. The input of each CMStatus method is the status report returned by a CMEngine method. For more information about generating the status report, see CMEngine Object on page 9. The output of each CMStatus method is the requested status information. The object exposes the ICMStatus interface. IsGood Method Function IsGood(statusStr As String) As Long 10 Chapter 2: Object Model Reference

17 This method returns 1 (true) if the Conversion Agent Engine operation was successful, or 0 (false) if it was unsuccessful. statusstr String In A CMEngine status report. Return value Long Out 1 if successful. GetDescription Method Function GetDescription(statusStr As String) As String If the Conversion Agent Engine operation was unsuccessful, this method return an error description. statusstr String In A CMEngine status report. Return value String Out A Unicode string containing the description. GetSeverity Method Function GetSeverity(statusStr As String) As Long This method returns the severity level of an error. statusstr String In A CMEngine status report. Return value Long Out The severity level: - 1 if the execution completed with information events only - 2 if there were warning events - 3 if there were failure events - 4 if there were fatal-error events - 5 if there were internal-error events GetLogFile Method Function GetLogFile(statusStr As String) As String If the Conversion Agent Engine operation was unsuccessful, this method returns the name of the log file. Conversion Agent Engine generates a log file if an error or a failure occurred during the service execution. It does not generate a log if the service ran successfully. statusstr String In A CMEngine status report. Return value String Out The log file name. GetLogDirectory Method Function GetLogDirectory(statusStr As String) As String If the Conversion Agent Engine operation was unsuccessful, this method returns the name of the log directory. statusstr String In A CMEngine status report. Return value String Out The log file directory. CMStatus Object 11

19 C HAPTER 3 Deprecated COM API Versions This chapter includes the following topics: Overview, 13 CM_COM Implementation, 13 CM_COM2 Implementation, 15 Overview The preceding sections of this document describe the current version of the Conversion Agent COM API, CM_COM3 1.0 Type Library, which is implemented in the file CM_COM3.dll. The CM_COM3 implementation offers enhanced capabilities and much better performance than previous COM API implementations. There are two previous versions of the COM API, which continue to be supported for backwards compatibility with existing applications. This chapter briefly describes the earlier COM API versions and provides upgrade recommendations. You cannot mix the COM API implementations. For example, do not attempt to prepare a service request by calling methods of the CM_COM3 implementation, and then run the request by calling the CM_COM implementation. CM_COM Implementation Conversion Agent 3.1 and earlier offered an implementation of the COM API that was called the CM_COM 1.0 Type Library. The implementation was defined in the file CM_COM.dll. Because the implementation was not multithreaded, it did not perform as well as the CM_COM3 implementation. For the best performance, you should upgrade CM_COM applications to CM_COM3. If this is not feasible, you can continue running the CM_COM applications. CMParsingEngine Object The CM_COM implementation has a single object, which is called CMParsingEngine. The object runs services in Conversion Agent Engine. The object exposes the ICMParsingEngine interface. 13

20 To use the object: 1. Assign one of the Input properties, which identifies the input location. 2. Call one of the methods, which runs a Conversion Agent service that processes the input. Properties CMParsingEngine has the following properties. Property Type Description InputFile String The path and name of the input file. InputText String A text string, which contains the input. InputURL String The URL of an input file. AuthUserName String A user name for HTTP authentication. AuthPassword String A password for HTTP authentication. ParseToFile Method Function ParseToFile( _ service_name As String, _ output_file As String, _ error As Long) _ As String This method runs a parser service and writes the XML output to a file. service_name String In The name of the Conversion Agent service. output_file String In Path of the output file. error Long Out The execution status: - 1 if the execution completed with information events only - 2 if there were warning events - 3 if there were failure events - 4 if there were fatal-error events Return value String Out A status string. ParseToText Method Function ParseToText( _ service_name As String, _ error As Long) _ As String This method runs a parser service and writes the XML output to a string. service_name String In The name of the Conversion Agent service. error Long Out The execution status: - 1 if the execution completed with information events only - 2 if there were warning events - 3 if there were failure events - 4 if there were fatal-error events Return value String Out The output string. 14 Chapter 3: Deprecated COM API Versions

21 SerializeToFile Method Function SerializeToFile( _ service_name As String, _ output_file As String, _ error As Long) _ As String This method runs a serializer service and writes the output to a file. The parameters are identical to those of ParseToFile. SerializeToText Method Function SerializeToText( _ service_name As String, _ error As Long) _ As String This method runs a serializer service and writes the output to a string. The parameters are identical to those of ParseToText. CM_COM2 Implementation Conversion Agent 3.1 offered the CM_COM2 1.0 Type Library, which was defined in the file CM_COM2.dll. The implementation was an early version of CM_COM3. The object model is similar to that of CM_COM3, with some minor differences. You should upgrade all existing CM_COM2 applications to CM_COM3.
