Description

Description:
Typically, TIBCO Adapter(TM) for COM cannot import all schemas if the dll (i.e., Micrsoft Axcepta application) includes unsupported types. (For example, the interface type as a function parameter.) We can see more details of supported data types in the documentation: User's Guide -> Appendix A Data Types.

Resolution

To overcome this limitation, create a wrapper COM library to export methods with only supported data types. A wrapper COM library is also a COM library, but it only exposes interfaces and objects with supported data types as parameters or properties. Inside the wrapper library, you can invoke interfaces/methods in the COM library as usual. Here, the COM library acts as a COM server and the wrapper COM library is a COM client.
