3.8.2 Preparation required for using dynamic loading of service functions

The following describes the preparation required for using dynamic loading of service functions.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Setting procedure
(2) Criteria for relinking a UAP object

(1) Setting procedure

To set up dynamic loading of service functions:

  1. Create a UAP shared library from the service functions.
  2. In the service operand of the user service definition, specify the service names, entry point names, and UAP shared library name.

For details about the service operand, see the manual OpenTP1 System Definition.

(2) Criteria for relinking a UAP object

Table 3-18 describes whether the UAP object needs to be relinked after a service function is added.

Table 3-18 Criteria for relinking UAP objects

No.UAP object in which a service is added or deletedService added byRelink
1UAP object that uses only the RPC interface definitionUsing the RPC interface definitionYes
Using dynamic loading of service functionsNo
2UAP object that uses only dynamic loading of service functionsUsing the RPC interface definitionYes
Using dynamic loading of service functionsNo
3UAP object that uses both the RPC interface definition and dynamic loading of service functionsUsing the RPC interface definitionYes
Using dynamic loading of service functionsNo
Legend:
Yes: The UAP object must be relinked.
No: The UAP object does not need to be relinked.
