ServerMain Class methods

This section has information on some methods accessible by the ServerMain Class pre-built in any new project and how to use them in your projects. This section covers the following ServerMain class methods:

• OnActivate

• OnDeactivate

• GetInitialDataSetParameters

These methods can be adapted to fit various application requirements and ensure smooth transitions between different project states or dynamic configurations. To utilize methods from the ServerMain Class, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Scripts → Classes → ServerMain.

2. Within the ServerMain class, you can create methods to execute code during the server processes.

3. To implement these methods, go to Scripts → CodeEditor.

4. In the CodeEditor, write the necessary code for the methods you've created in the ServerMain Class.

OnActivate

The OnActivate method is invoked when a project transitions from an inactive to an active state, such as during initial startup or when a standby project becomes active in a redundancy scenario. 

public void OnActivate(){
     //Write your code here 
}

This method executes the instructions within its code block whenever the project or server changes from inactive to active.

OnDeactivate

The OnDeactivate method is invoked when a project transitions from an active to an inactive state, either when it is stopped or during a redundancy scenario. 

public void OnDeactivate(){
     //Write your code here 
}

Upon each change from active to inactive, this method executes the instructions specified within its code block.

GetInitialDataSetParameters

The GetInitialDataSetParameters method retrieves initial parameters for a DataSet, which is useful for configuring dynamic data sources with diverse initial settings. This method is called for every Dataset→DB configured in Edit→DataSets→DB, enabling customization of each field (columns) within the Dataset→DB, such as reading from an XML file. If the method returns "true", the configuration in the Manager is replaced with the new values obtained from the output arguments.

public bool GetInitialDataSetParameters(string datasetName, out string provider, out string database, out string connectionString, out string logonName, out string logonPassword, out string serverIP)
{
       //Write your code here
  return true;
}
