Starts communication with a server, allowing it to use functions until the Logout method is executed or until the connection with the server is terminated.
Login is actually a "virtual" operation which creates a new Client Session ID. No DBMS login is performed unless Linkar SERVER determines new Database Sessions are required - these operations are not related.

customVars |
string char* |
|
This is a free text field to send in the transaction. If not empty, subroutine SUB.LK.MAIN.CONTROL.CUSTOM will be called. Add custom code to that subroutine to define special behaviours for some or all transactions. |
receiveTimeout |
Numeric
|
-1 |
This is the maximum time in seconds that the client will wait for a response. Use 0 for no timeout. This is a function-specific override : -1 in a Persistent function defaults back to the timeout defined in the LinkarClt constructor. |
