Introduction of Shared Objects in Release 6.40

Shared objects are data objects (not yet in Release 6.40) and instances of classes in area instances in the shared memory, to which all programs in an application server have access.

For the following statements, additions can be used when working with shared objects:

CLASS ... SHARED MEMORY ENABLED ...

CREATE OBJECT ... AREA HANDLE

Addition AREA HANDLE for CREATE DATA is not yet available in the first delivery of Release 6.40.

Transaction SHMA manages the areas for shared objects.
