IParameterDef Interface
The IParameterDef interface allows the model creator to define, in detail, each parameter of the method that uses the interface properties listed in this topic. Parameter definitions are stored in a RTblParameterDef table in the repository database.
When the engine receives a call to a method defined through these interfaces, it returns E_NOTIMPL.
