Open a Business Component
Source code
'************************************************************************************************************************
'Description:
'
' This example finds the add-ins associated with a specific Business component.
' If some of the necessary add-ins are not yet loaded, it loads them, restarts OpenText Functional Testing, opens the Business component,
' and confirms that the opened document is in fact a business component.
