The above RFC object hierarchy represents the objects for OLE client programs available through the
Automation server.
When accessing these objects, programmers must observe the following sequence of steps:
Create the server object and set up the connection (connection object).
Create at least one function object for the server object.
Assign a value to the export parameter object.
Call the method function of the server object.
Use the import parameter objects to call the result of executing the function module.
Close the connection and release all objects.
The properties and methods for the individual objects are described in the online help. There now follow
some examples of programming with these objects, properties and methods.
