You can define a server buffer in a Server Dialog or a
Business Component.
About this task
It is sometimes necessary that Business Components, whether
they are called by the same Services Manager or called by other Business
Components (through secondary level calls), share some data.
With
the server buffer, you define a memory area shared between the Business
Components which run a request.
The following rules apply to
a server buffer:
- All the Business Components of a Folder – whatever the node type
– must use the same Data Structure to define a server buffer.
- This rule applies also to a Business Component called by another
Business Component which uses a server buffer. The called Business
Component must also use the same server buffer.
- A Services Manager does not need any particular option to call
a Business Component which uses a server buffer. However, when the
server buffer structure is modified, its maximum length is changed.
In this case, you must regenerate the Folder (Services Manager) attached
to the Business Components.
- To call a Business Component which uses a server buffer, a TUI
client must use a server monitor.
