Possibility of extending / customizing Business Analyst toolbar commands

[AlagappanAL]

Hi,

      We have ArcObjects 10 SDK for Microsoft .Net framework for extending and customizing ArcGIS Desktop applications. In a similar way, is that possible to customize the commands present in Business Analyst toolbar using BA objects and .Net. If any, could you please share us the link..

      Our actual requirement is: We are creating custom bds layer using Custom BDS data setup wizard in Business Analyst toolbar. Everytime we are creating it manually. We would like to automate the custom bds layer creation process keeping the required fields and calculations in configuration xml files or dbf templates.

      How to automate this custom bds creation process using BA objects / .Net / or through any other API's/approaches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Alagappan,
Have you checked out the new flexibility of BA 10.1's Custom Data Setup tool?  http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Custom_data_setup_tool/000z000000tm000000/. You may find that it precludes the necessity for customization altogether.
