Remarks
These functions create a single DDR that is sent to the Data Discovery Manager (DDM). The order in which you call the functions is important; you must call DDRNew before calling any of the functions that add properties. However, the order in which you add properties to your class is arbitrary. The last function you call must be DDRWrite to create the DDR. The DDR must then be manually copied to the SMS\Inboxes\Auth\Ddm.box directory.
DDRs that fail to load are moved to the SMS\Inboxes\Ddm.box\Bad_ddrs directory. If you have logging turned on, you can view the DDM.log file for an explanation of the failure. After you fix the errors, you can rerun your program to load the DDR.
The IID for ISMSResGen is ECB65D0E-B16B-4817-92B0-BF2D9CEFB3AC.
