PASOE Enhanced Connected behavior for Open Client

How to use the PASOE Enhanced Connected feature when using the .NET or Java Open Client.
How to check if a .NET Open Client or Java Open Client application is still connected to a PASOE Agent.

 

The Enhanced Connected behavior for PASOE is described in the following KB article:
Connected( ) Behavior in PAS for OpenEdge

Use the isConnected() method of the AppObject or OpenAppObject to check the PASOE connection status via Open Client.
This isConnected() method was initially implemented in OpenEdge 12.3, but it was then back-ported to OpenEdge 12.2.5. It is highly recommended to upgrade to OpenEdge 12.2.7 though since it fixes an issue where the method was still returning 'true' when the PASOE instance was not running.

.NET Open Client sample code snippet:

public Connection conn;
public WSTest appObj;

string connectionStr = "";
connectionStr += "http://localhost:8810/apsv";
conn = new Connection(connectionStr, "", "", "");
conn.SessionModel = 1;
appObj = new WSTest(conn);

MessageBox.Show("Connected? : " + appObj.isConnected().ToString(););
