Shared Objects - Objects
Objects in the shared objects memory, that is, the actual shared objects, are instances of shared memory-enabled classes or anonymous data objects that are addressed using references.
A shared-memory-enabled class is declared with the addition
SHARED MEMORY ENABLED of the statement CLASS, or has the property
Shared Memory Enabled activated in Class Builder. Only instances of shared-memory-enabled
classes can be stored in the shared objects memory. The static attributes of a shared memory-enabled class, on the other hand, are not saved in the shared memory but in the
internal session of
a program. If different programs access the same shared objects, the static attributes of the corresponding classes exist multiple times and independently from each other in the programs.
Since area instances are self-contained without existing area locks, a root object of a shared memory-enabled class is required for the initial access.
