VDAAPI Installation Program Instructions And Notes: Notes

The installation program for each vendor-provided INI/DLLtuple would go through the following steps (taking AAARP32 as an example):

• It is not RP 1210-compliant for a VDA installation program to overwrite an existing RP121032.INI file.
• When a VDA vendor adds an INI/DLL tuple to the APIImplementations  variable, it shall be appended at the end.
• There should be no leading spaces between a "=" and an entry. For example:
  • "ProtocoIDescription = J1708" is incorrect.
  • "ProtocoIDescription=J1708" is correct.
• Because of this situation in the past, RP 1210 applications should trim leading/trailing spaces when reading INI variables.
