(AppServer only; PAS for OE only)

Returns the operating mode of the current Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge or AppServer session.

Data type: CHARACTER

Access: Read-only

Applies to: SESSION system handle

This attribute is valid only if the REMOTE attribute is TRUE.

The possible values for this attribute when used with the AppServer include:

  • "State-reset"
  • "State-aware"
  • "Stateless"
  • "State-free"

This is the value of the operatingMode property set for this AppServer in the ubroker.properties file.

The possible values for this attribute when used with PAS for OpenEdge include:

  • "Session-managed"
  • "Session-free"

Because an instance of the Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge can run sessions in both modes simultaneously, the operating mode is not set in a properties file. The operating mode is specified through a parameter on the CONNECT( ) method on the client.
