SERVER Attribute

The server handle to the Progress AppServer where a specified asynchronous request is submitted or remote persistent procedure runs.

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 Progress AppServer to use for accessing application files.

To check the validity of a handle, use the VALID-HANDLE Function. For more information on the Progress AppServer, see Building Distributed Applications Using the Progress AppServer .
