Shared Property Manager

The Shared Property Manager enables multiple users to easily access shared global data without complex programming. It is an MTS resource dispenser that provides synchronized access to application-defined, process-wide properties (variables). A multiuser application may require common access to shared information stored in memory. Components can be designed to create, use, and update global data within the MTS environment. Any component within a package can share information with other components in the same package.

The CML application does not access shared global data. But if the library added volatile information that was not practical to write to disk, the shared property feature can make this information available to all users.
