This is an example of a solution definition file (oir.config) for an external system of type SQL Server database. It contains context definitions for the Order external content type from the AdventureWorks 2005 SQL Server sample database. It demonstrates how to use a set of ContextDefinition and OfficeItemCustomizations to customize a Microsoft Business Connectivity Services (BCS) solution that will run on Microsoft Outlook 2010.
