Steps in using a global object

To use an object within a node, an INtime process needs to find the owning process, then looks up the object and uses it. For global objects, you first need to locate the node that owns the object.

A global object can be created on another node. In this case, again you first need to locate the node where the object will reside. The types of global objects you can create are restricted to semaphores, mailboxes and memory objects.

To allow global use of an object, you only must publish the objects RTHANDLE, for example by cataloging in an object directory.
