Server libraries provide clients with access to data objects in either of two ways:
-
By exporting procedures that read or update data objects in the server library program. These exported procedures provide indirect access to either local objects or global objects. Local objects are those declared within the exported procedures. Global objects are those declared globally to the exported procedures.
-
By exporting the data objects themselves.
The following pages describe the use of local objects, global objects, and exported data objects.
