ABL client connections

Administration

AppServer and Internet Adapter Administration : Configuring and Managing the AppServer : Checking for failed client connections : Configuring clients : ABL client connections

To request the use of the ServerASK protocol on a connection, the ABL client must include the following new property in the connection string parameter of the CONNECT() method on the AppServer server handle:

AppServerKeepalive capacitystring

Indicates that the client would like to employ the AppServer Keepalive protocol on this connection, if supported and enabled by the AppServer. The absence of this property indicates that the (default) value for the ServerASK protocol will be used on this connection. The value capacitystring is either:

allowServerASK (default)

denyServerASK

The following is an example of an ABL Connect() method where the client requests the use of ServerASK:

bool = hSrv:Connect("-URL AppServer://myhost:myport/myservice
-AppServerKeepalive allowServerASK").
