Dynamic Private User Exit

Topics:

The Dynamic Private User Exit is an API that enables you to build and integrate a custom 3GL dynamic load library (DLL) routine to access data sources for which no standard adapter is available. This technique provides a mechanism by which companies using proprietary (or obscure) data sources can take advantage of WebFOCUS data access.

The terms GETPRV and SUFFIX=PRIVATE are often used to refer to this exit.

While reference code and build instructions for the exit are supplied as part of the GETPRV exit, users are expected to write and maintain the actual DLL to fit specific application needs, and compile and link the exit in accordance with the standard procedures for designing and building user written exits, as described in the Stored Procedures Reference manual.

To facilitate troubleshooting, customers (or VARs) are responsible for following good practices in coding their applications. If a problem is encountered it should be reproducible through small representative modifications to the sample. Since specific application code may contain proprietary data or methods that slow down the resolution process with unnecessary complexity, this method should be used to provide reproductions of all problems.
