SERVER attribute

The server handle to the AppServer on which the specified remote persistent procedure runs, or the Web service to which the Web service procedure is bound.

Data type: HANDLE

Access: Readable

Applies to: Asynchronous request object handle, CODEBASE-LOCATOR system handle, THIS-PROCEDURE system handle (and all procedure handles)

For a procedure handle, the SERVER attribute is valid only on a proxy persistent procedure handle that references an active persistent procedure running in the context of an AppServer (that is, where the handle PERSISTENT and PROXY attributes are both set to TRUE). Otherwise, the SERVER attribute is set to the Unknown value (?).

For the CODEBASE-LOCATOR system handle, the SERVER attribute returns the server handle to the connected AppServer to use in accessing application files. Valid only if LOCATOR-TYPE is "AppServer".

To check the validity of a handle, use the VALID-HANDLE function. For more information on the AppServer, see OpenEdge Application Server: Developing AppServer Applications .
