What is the Dynamic Link Library?
The Availability Workbench Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) enables users to seamlessly link their databases or external applications to Availability Workbench projects. For example, the DLL may be used to create a custom link between a CMMS database for importing RCM data into an Availability Workbench project. The custom link may then be used to transfer data from the project back to the CMMS database after the RCM analysis has been completed using Availability Workbench.

In summary, the DLL allows programmers to directly access project data without using the Availability Workbench application interface.

The Availability Workbench DLL is a .NET assembly that runs under the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0. No separate installation is necessary to access the DLL. The DLL is part of the AvailabilityWorkbench.exe file. You will, however, require a DLL license to access the main functionality of the DLL.

In addition to the Availability Workbench DLL you will also require a .NET assembly development tool such as Microsoft's Visual Studio.
