5.2 Linking with external programs
Linking with external programs is the process of making a value in Operational Content available to an external program in a system other than Navigation Platform. This concept includes using values from external programs in Operational Content.
By using a JP1 Link Plugin, you can exchange data with JP1 products such as JP1/IM and JP1/AO, achieving integration between Operational Content and external JP1 products.
The plugins required to link with external programs other than JP1 are developed by developers using the API provided by the Navigation Platform. Note that although the Data Store Plugin provided as a default System Plugin can link Guide Parts with each other, it cannot link Operational Content with external programs.
If there are multiple user plugins available, you can find out which plugin to use and how to use it by contacting the system administrator.
- Cautionary note:
-
Operational Content that uses a JP1 Link Plugin cannot be suspended or resumed by a Suspend/Resume Plugin.
If you suspend or resume such Operational Content, the JP1 Link Plugin might not work correctly.
