Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Advanced Development

Making customizations to the ADM

If the class being customized is an ADM class (not all Progress Dynamics classes are ADM classes) then the customization should be applied to the static ADM classes. This is particularly necessary when there are static, non-Repositor-based objects in the application.

Customized data logic that runs on the AppServer, for example, business logic for SmartDataObjects (SDOs) and SmartBusinessObjects (SBOs), must always be defined in the static ADM files.
