Accessing Automation Servers
The CREATE Automation Object statement
provides four basic connection options to access an Automation Server. (For
more information, see the entry for the CREATE Automation
Object Statement in ABL Reference.)
Each option handles different connection requirements, depending
on the Automation object implementation and the execution status of
the Automation Server. Any Automation object flagged in the registry
with REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE launches only a single
instance of the Server that handles all subsequent object instantiation
requests. Any Automation object flagged in the registry with REGCLS_SINGLEUSE launches
a Server dedicated to that object instance. Any subsequent Automation
object instantiated for the same Server launches a new instance
of the Server dedicated to that object.
