Hi Carey,
No, I'm not sure at all.
BMC have created this "black box" of a process that we can't really see
inside and don't have documentation for.
I'm hesitant to comment on exactly how the technology is implemented as I'm
a little out of my depth...all I know is that the CMDB "Plugin" is
effectively executed via this undocumented
Application-Invoke-External-Filter command which is now hard-wired into the
core AR Server technology.
Whether this a true ARF plugin that behaves in the same way as "normal"
Filter API's, I cannot be sure.
Cheers
Chris.

Chris,
Are you sure this is a way to call an ARF Plugin with dynamic
inputs/outputs?
I would be interested in knowing more about how the inputs/outputs are
specified in the $PROCESS$ call if this is the case.
