SIS-Application Programmatic Interface, Reference Manual
Appendix G - Backwards compatibility
In to keep SIS C programmatic interface backward compatible to the previous version
(ver. 2.2) we provide a set of include files and libraries that do not use sessions and
thus will not take advantage of the multi-thread capabilities of the SIS server.
The basic change of version 2.2 and 2.2.1 is the introduction of sessions. These
libraries inforce the use of the functions init_SIS_API_CS(), init_SIS_API_SA()
and close_SIS_API() and all C-API functions should be used without the sessionID
as first argument.
On WIN32 systems the include files that should be used to compile this code are:
sis_kernel/time.h,
cpp_api/cs_defs.h,
cpp_api/identifier.h,
cpp_api/sis_classes.h,
cpp_api/c_wrapper.h.
On WIN32 systems the libraries that should be used to link this code are:
Client – Server:
• lib_c_api_cs_2b.lib (The C interface SIS API)
• cpp_api_cs_2b.lib (The C++ interface SIS API )
• lib_sis_kernel_2b.lib (The SIS Kernel)
• lib_time_2b.lib (Time functions library)
• ccomms_2b.lib (Client Communications)
• connection_2b.lib (Used to open a connection to the server)
• libl.lib
Direct Access:
• lib_c_api_sa_2b.lib (The C interface SIS API)
• cpp_api_sa_2b.lib (The C++ interface SIS API )
• lib_sis_kernel_big_2b_cs.lib (The SIS Kernel)
• lib_time_2b.lib (Time functions library)
• ccomms_2b.lib (Client Communications)
• connection_2b.lib (Used to open a connection to the server)
• libl.lib
Notice that before running an application that access directly an SIS base the
environment variable DB_DIR have to be set (DB_DIR: locates the directory
where the SIS database exists).
