Problem:

We would like to add a new operation to a Enterprise Server service.  How is this done?

Resolution:

In Server Express 5.1 WrapPack4, a new feature can be use to add a new operation. To enable this feature, edit the $COBDIR/deploy/.mfdeploy file in the deployment directory and add the line UPDATE_MODE=add. As $COBDIR/deploy/.mfdeploy is used by imtkmake, cobimtk, mfdepinst commands, the feature is enabled all the times. When this feature is enabled, if the command discovers that a package specifies an existing namespace, it will only add the operations that are not already defined. If the package for the service is not defined, it will add that as wall: otherwise it will use the existing definition.
