When OpenEdge sends a client application's connection request to an AppServer that is running in state-aware operating mode, the AppServer broker connects the client application directly to one of the agents in its AppServer agent pool. The connected AppServer agent remains dedicated to the client application for the life of the connection.
Unlike state-reset, OpenEdge does not reset the AppServer session context between connections. Whatever context remains when one connection finishes is available to the next connection.
