EsbCreateStorageTypedApplication

Creates a new application with the option of data storage mode: block (multidimensional) or aggregate.

Syntax

EsbCreateStorageTypedApplication (hCtx, AppName, StorageType)
ByVal hCtx    As Long
ByVal AppName As String
ByVal StorageType As Integer

Parameter	Description
hCtx	VB API context handle.
AppName	Name of application to create. See Application Name Limits.
StorageType	The data storage type of the new application. The valid values for StorageType are: ESB_DEFAULT_DATA_STORAGE ESB_MULTIDIM_DATA_STORAGE—Block storage (multidimensional), the default storage type ESB_ASO_DATA_STORAGE—Aggregate storage

Parameter

Description

hCtx

VB API context handle.

AppName

Name of application to create. See Application Name Limits.

StorageType

The data storage type of the new application.

The valid values for StorageType are:

ESB_DEFAULT_DATA_STORAGE
ESB_MULTIDIM_DATA_STORAGE—Block storage (multidimensional), the default storage type
ESB_ASO_DATA_STORAGE—Aggregate storage

Notes

The new application is created in non-Unicode mode.
Creating a client application creates a directory to contain local application files.
A newly created database or application is not automatically set to active. Call EsbSetActive() after calling EsbCreateDatabase(), EsbCreateApplication(), or EsbCreateStorageTypedApplication() to keep subsequent functions, such as EsbRestructure(), from operating on the wrong database or application (the application or database that is already active).

Return Value

None.

Access

For a server application, the caller must have application Create/Delete/Edit privilege (ESB_PRIV_APPCREATE).

Example

Declare Function EsbCreateStorageTypedApplication Lib "ESBAPIN" (ByVal hCtx As Long, ByVal AppName As String, ByVal StorageType As Integer) As Long

Sub ESB_CreateStorageTypedApplication ()
   Dim sts As Long
   Dim AppName As String 
   Dim StorageType as Integer   AppName = "Sample"   '*******************
   ' Create Storage Typed Application
   '*******************
   sts = EsbCreateStorageTypedApplication (hCtx, AppName, StorageType) 
End Sub
