How Access Server Works The PC user establishes a session on the host HP 3000, using a basic serial connection file or entering connection information at the Remote Connection screen in Access PC. (A user operating over a basic serial connection link has the third option of establishing a session before running Access PC.) Details about establishing a session are provided in the Information Access PC Connections and Batch Files manual, as well as in Chapter 12 of this manual. Access PC establishes a link with Access Server and passes along requests from the PC user to Access Server, which passes back the requested information in usable form. Access Server has its own data dictionary, which contains information about what data is available through Access Server, who the users are, and what subset of the data each user can see. Access Server uses the entries in its data dictionary to interpret and validate each request. When the PC user exits from the Access PC application, Access Server terminates the processes that were set up to handle the PC-to-host communications for that user.
