Creating DLLs to Archive Check Images from Policies

This topic provides instructions for creating a dynamic-link library (DLL) that lets you archive check images from a policy.

There are no restrictions for the name of the DLL. The Administering Mobius provides a procedure for archiving check images in a configuration file that contains the name and path of the DLL. When you specify the configuration file as the archive creation input file, archive creation invokes the DLL.

The DLL must contain these procedures:

•

A procedure to initialize. See Initialize Procedure.

•

A procedure to read the next index record and its associated images. See Read the Next Record Procedure.

You can code multiple procedures for the same function in your DLL, perhaps one for each different type of check image. Each procedure must have a unique name. When you create the archive, you can specify the name of the procedure that you want to use for this session. For information on creating the archive, see Administering Mobius.

The functions in the DLL use standard DLL linkage and parameters with pointers to information. Therefore, Mobius can invoke a DLL written in any programming language that supports DLLs with pointer manipulation.
