Connect and Disconnect procedures encapsulate logic that executes whenever a client application establishes and terminates a session-managed connection with a PAS for OE instance.

Functionality that might go in a Connect or Disconnect procedure includes authenticating client users, connecting or disconnecting client-specific databases, loading or storing the contents of client-specific temp-tables, creating a bound connection between a client and the current PAS for OpenEdge session, or any other common actions required when each individual client connection begins or terminates for the PAS for OE instance.
