Hi Chris,


Is there an API within IDV somewhere that would allow me to generate bundles

So, there really isn't a spec for that. If you are interested in generating
something that can be loaded into the IDV to load data sources and create
displays you could use ISL. In particular look at the section on data and
displays:
