Summary of Requirements

The procedures and flows on the DLG must meet certain requirements for a distributed process application:

Client procedures must be designated as online.
Client procedures can flow to other client procedures or to server procedures.
Flows from client procedures to server procedures must be links. The flow must return to the client.
The link from a client procedure to a server procedure must be set to Execute First.
Server procedures must be designated as online with no display.
Server procedures can be subdivided into procedure steps, but the flow from a client procedure must go to the first step of the server procedure.
The server procedure must set an exit state to return control to the client procedure at the end of a server procedure execution.
When data is to be sent or returned across a link, you must map the information views on both the client and server procedures to one another with view matching.
