BMS Mask Data (ttadv4188m000)

Use this session to maintain Broadcast Message System (BMS) masks. Masks are used when sending bucket messages (using the 4GL function bms.send). The specified session or object is started if:

  • A process sends a bucket message (to all processes within the same bshell) with the given mask.
  • No process has this mask on.

To make your changes active, convert these data to run time by using the convert command. This information is stored in the $BSE/lib/bms_mask file.

A line in the $BSE/lib/bms_mask file has the following syntax: <mask>:<process>:<y/n>:[boot]
