    6.2. Batch Output File Extensions An internal batch file format called OII (OPEX Interchange Interface) is used to pass batches between OPEX applications (CertainScan, CertainScan Edit, and OPEX Transform). This allows changes to be applied along the way, and then produce the final output (OXI, ODI, Custom) made available to the back- end user.
