Ready to Implement? Follow these key implementation steps:

From the LSO API Catalog, choose the LSO API you would like to implement. Use the catalog filter to narrow down your search based on the Interface Reference Point and Release.
On your chosen API Description, review the respective MEF LSO API Developer Guide.
Reference the respective MEF Business Requirements & Use Cases standard.
Reference the MEF LSO API Test Requirements standard.
From the LSO Payload Catalog, choose the payload schema with which the LSO API will be used.
Review the respective MEF Service Model (MSM) and MEF Product Model (MPM) standard or MEF-endorsed LSO payload documentation.

Blend

Ready to create your unique LSO API?

LSO APIs result from blending LSO Payloads into LSO Envelopes. There are a huge number of potential combinations of LSO APIs and LSO Payloads, based on the range of LSO Business and Operational APIs in addition to the LSO Product Payloads.

Rather than pre-blend a fixed set of combinations with each LSO release, MEF has created an LSO API Blending Tool that enables anyone to choose and create exactly those combinations of LSO APIs and LSO Payloads into a single zip file for download.
