With the “exchange shared objects” function you can exchange individual parts of the application program during operation. These application parts must be created as shared objects and linked dynamically to the application. In this case, you must carry out certain steps when compiling, linking and generating.
Shared objects are implemented using DLLs on Windows systems. More details can be found in the section "Creating application programs as DLLs (Windows systems)".
You can exchange shared objects with the administration command KDCPROG or with a separate administration program that calls KDCADMI with the operation code KC_MODIFY_OBJECT and object type KC_LOAD_MODULE. Both possibilities are described in the openUTM manual “Administering Applications”. You can also exchange shared objects with the administration tools WinAdmin/WebAdmin. If a reference is made in the following to an actions that can be carried out with the KDCPROG command, then this is also true for administration programs that issue KDCADMI calls with the operation code KC_MODIFY_OBJECT and object type KC_LOAD_MODULE. |
An application with shared objects can also be exchanged as a whole.
