sessions for application programs</h1>
<div><p>System Object Access APIs for <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Access for Windows<sup>®</sup></span> communicate
with the iSeries server
through the use of one or more client/server conversations.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Because it often takes several seconds to establish a conversation,
your application may experience delays when a list first is opened. This topic
explains how to control and manage the initiation of conversations so that
the performance impact on application programs is minimized.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The default behavior of System Object Access may be summarized
as follows: </p>
<ul><li>If no conversation has been established with the iSeries system object that is identified
on the <span class="apiname">CWBSO_CreateListHandleEx</span> API, a conversation automatically
will be started when the list is opened or displayed. If <span class="keyword">iSeries Access for Windows</span> has
not yet established a connection to the specified system, a dialog box will
appear prompting the user for the appropriate UserID and password.</li>
<li>If another instance of the application program starts, the above process
repeats itself. No conversation sharing occurs between application programs
that run in different processes (that is, with different instance handles).</li>
<li>When the application program deletes the last System Object Access list,
the conversation with the iSeries server is automatically ended (Note that <span class="apiname">CWBSO_CloseList</span> does
not end the conversation with the iSeries server).</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>A System Object Access conversation may be started using the <span class="apiname">cwbRC_StartSysEx</span> API.
This API accepts an iSeries system object as a parameter, and returns
a system handle. Save this handle for later use on the <span class="apiname">cwbRC_StopSys</span> API,
when the application is terminating and it is time to end the conversation
with the iSeries server.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When the <span class="apiname">cwbRC_StartSysEx</span> API is called, the
application is blocked until the conversation is established. Therefore, it
is good practice to inform the user that a connection is about to be attempted
immediately before the call. On return, the conversation will have been initiated,
and System Object Access list processing will use this conversation instead
of starting a new one.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When <span class="apiname">cwbRC_StartSysEx</span> is used in this way,
the last list to be deleted will not end the conversation. You must call <span class="apiname">cwbRC_StopSys</span> explicitly
before you exit the application.</p>
