10.2.6.2 Work Phase

Each application-created server thread performs the following tasks:

  • An application-created thread issues a request for a service.
  • An application-created thread gets the reply to service request.
  • An application-created thread initiates and/or participates in a conversation.
  • An application-created thread begins, commits, or rolls back a transaction.

These tasks performed in an application-created server thread share the same characteristics as in a client program. For more information, see How Multithreading and Multicontexting Work in a Client.

Note:

An application-created server thread cannot call either tpreturn() or tpforward().

Application-created server thread may send, but cannot receive unsolicited messages.
