IsClient

(RPC Manager Library)

Description: Is Client of a Service. This subroutine returns an indication of whether or not a particular workstation is a client connected to a service. Returns 1 for the specified service if the specified machine is currently a client to the machine on which the IsClient() call is made.

Returns: Boolean

Usage: Script

Format: \RPCManager\IsClient(ServiceName, Workstation [, OptGUID])

Parameters: ServiceName { text } { required } { no default }

Any text expression giving the name by which the service is known.

Workstation { text } { required } { no default }

Any text expression giving the name or IP address by which the workstation is known to the RPC Manager.

OptGUID { text } { optional } { default: (see note) }

Any optional parameter that provides the GUID for the application in which the service instance is located. The default is the application to which the caller belongs.

Comments: This subroutine is a member of the RPC Manager's Library, and must therefore be prefaced by \RPCManager\, as shown in the "Format" section. If the application you are developing is a script application, the subroutine call must be prefaced by System\RPCManager\, and the System variable must be declared in AppMod.src.

The return value from this subroutine is a logical value, if true (1) the workstation is a client connected to the service, if false (0) it is not.

If the 16-byte binary format of the GUID is not known, the GetGUID function may be used to obtain it.

Example:

If 1 Main;

[

IfThen(\RPCManager\IsClient("EditLockoutManager",

"TestMachine"),

...

);
