Description

Opens a connection to a remote server. The parameters are similar to those used to connect to a remote server using a telnet session. This information is not used for database login.

This operation automatically detects if you are using the Bourne Shell, C Shell, or Korn Shell. The results of this Shell check are used by RemoteRun and RemoteRunNoWait. It does this by checking the $SHELL environment variable once the connection opens.

While RemoteConnect is connected with the server, it yields the CPU to other applications on the PC. You should not close or start anotherProduction Reporting Remote operation while the current operation is in progress.
