Seeking information on PCO

[Former Member]

We are about to start using PCO because we hear it can do a lot of things that MII and the UDS cannot do. I have a few questions and I appreciate any feedback I can get on the subject.

Most of the information I can find on PCO is on the installation or on the SDK. Is there any documentation on its general use and how we integrate it with the BLS?

What datatypes are accepted and allowed to trigger PCO event handlers?

Is PCO used similarly to the UDS where you set up your event handlers and in the BLS you simply call the event handler session by using an action block or do we use PCO in a sense that we create one or many instances of PCO where we can start and stop each session?

any nformation or documentation would be extremely helpful and I apprecia

Hi Chip,

PCo can be used like a UDS but not until version 12.2. Version 12.2 will have a new PCo query type. So at this point, you can use PC for notifications, and these notifications can trigger a transaction.

In addition to what was already recommended, I would recommend the Online Knowledge Products (OKP), which are very good to learn about PCo.

If you are working with a customer, you could inquire about getting into the PCo 2.1 Ramp-up program. Let me know if you require any further information with regard to OKP or Ramp-up.

Kind Regards,
