Procedure Pluralities

Posted by GregHiggins on 02-Mar-2018 15:38

I've been reading the openedge.properties.README file. Entries like this puzzle me:

sessionActivateProc=
Specify activate procedures for sessions. The procedures must be valid
PROGRESS procedures on the application service PROPATH.


I was under the impression that an appserver could have only one Activate, Connect, Disconnect procedure. Can there be many?

Sessions in PAS are like Agents in Classic AS. Each user request will be handled by a session (thread) of the Multi-Session AppServer Agent (again for likeness purposes, this is like the Broker process). The rules still stand that you can have a SINGLE connect, SINGLE disconnect, SINGLE active, and SINGLE deactivate procedure to be executed on each of those events. The plural "procedures" in the README is likely a reference to those 4 types, not to multiple procedures for each. Or more simply, it's a typo ;)
