COM Adapter overview
You can use the Component Object Model (COM) Automation adapter to create a custom solution, integration, or service and access that solution from within IBM Transformation Extender.
The COM Automation adapter is targeted to those who would consider using the Software Development Kit (SDK) but would rather create the solution in a more natural and object-based model. Unlike the SDK, using the COM Automation adapter allows you to create your solution in any language that supports COM Automation (for example, C, C++, VB, Java™, COBOL and so on), and then provides method-based access to that solution.
