Server IMOD Conventions

CA-GSS provides a set of conventions to assist you in maintaining an environment that supports server IMODs. These conventions are not intended to limit the implementation of server IMODs, but rather to minimize errors during implementation.

You can insulate yourself from many of these conventions and most of the coding by using the $SERVER() function. This function is an IMOD called as a subroutine to initialize, terminate, and communicate with server IMODs. The $SERVER() function provides a straightforward means of requesting service from a server IMOD.
