In order for ArcFM to recognize a COM object as an Autoupdater, the COM object must be be registered in one of the following COM component categories:
"M&M Attribute Autoupdate Objects" (for an Attribute Autoupdater)
"M&M Special Autoupdate Objects" (for a Special Autoupdater)
"M&M Relationship Autoupdate Objects" (for a Relationship Autoupdater)
This is accomplished in two steps. First, the IMMRegInCat interface must be implemented in the class module. The code examples in this section depict how to implement the single method of this interface. Second, the RegX.exe program must be run to register each COM object in the appropriate COM component category. Be sure to include the /c or /codebase flag when registering autoupdater objects with RegX.exe.
Once the Autoupdater component has been created and registered, the Autoupdater still needs to be associated with the correct ArcFM attribute, feature, or relationship. This is performed via the ArcFM Properties Manager in ArcCatalog. For an attribute or special autoupdater, right click the appropriate feature or object class and select ArcFM Properties Manager. For relationship autoupdaters, right click a relationship class and select ArcFM Properties Manager.
