Chapter 12 439
Platform Specifics and Web Monitoring
Overview
Overview
In this chapter, you will learn about the key differences between operating
systems, and how VEE has designed objects to handle them. Then you will
learn about one of the most important techniques for incorporating VEE
functions into other applications or programs using the Callable VEE
ActiveX Automation Server. Finally, you will learn key concepts in web
monitoring.
VEE programs transfer between the supported platforms, but there are some
objects that are unique to particular operating systems. For example, on a
PC, VEE uses Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) as compiled functions, and
on HP-UX, VEE uses shared libraries. VEE uses ActiveX Automation on a
PC for interprocess communication, and named pipes on HP-UX.
