ob -- OSA builder: create an object service agent (OSA)

Synopsis /usr/bin/ob

Description

ob is a menu-driven interface that automates many of the tasks involved with creating an object service agent (OSA). The OSA itself comprises classes of objects to be managed, their attributes, and the operations that can be performed on those objects and attributes. An OSA is divided into two files:

the class definition file, which contains class definition tables (CDTs) for each class that define how objects of that class behave
the execution procedure file, which contains procedures which carry out object requests.

The OSA builder allows you to edit class definition files. Although it does not provide facilities for editing the execution procedure file, it will generate a file with procedure definitions (function stubs), which can act as a starting point for writing the needed procedures.
