public class ServerConnection
extends Object
implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IServerConnection, IServerConnection2, ITxConnectionMessages

Manages connection to Tracking Server.

Description

The Server Connection object serves as a direct interface or connection to the Tracking Server. This connection object uses DCOM to communicate with the Tracking Server. The Tracking Server Manager and Simulator applications use this object as thier communications interface to the Tracking Server system.

Remarks

The Server Connector uses the connection properties to manage all user modifiable features of the connector. Below summarizes the properties, their defaults and descriptions.

Property Name	Required	Default Value	Description
SERVERNAME	Y	localhost	Name of Server or IP
AMS_CONNECTION_NAME	Y	Tracking Connector	The Name or label of the connection.
