Client/Server Template

This template is stored as multi_cs.t in the Examples subdirectory of the Silk Test Classic installation directory. This test case invokes the server application and any number of client applications, based on the list of machines passed to it, and runs the same function on all clients concurrently, after which the server will perform end-of-session processing.

You can use this template by doing the following edits:

• Include the files that contain your window declarations for both the client application and the server application.
• Substitute the MainWin name of your server application, which is defined in your MainWin window declaration, with the MainWin name of the template, MyServerApp.
• Substitute the MainWin name of your client application, which is defined in your MainWin window declaration, with the Mainwin name of the template, MyClientApp.
• Replace the call to PerformClientActivity with a function that you have written to perform client operations and tests.
• Replace the call to DoServerAdministration with a function that you have written to perform server administrative processing and/or cleanup.
