The Sapphire/Web State Server

Many aspects of the Sapphire/Web State Server are very similar to those of the various Sapphire/Web Gateway Servers. For all intents and purposes the State Server is, in fact, a Gateway Server. Consult Chapter 8, "Sapphire/Web Gateways", if you need more information about gateways.

To start the gateway do the following:

1. Set the environment variable STATE_HOST on the machine(s) where the server application(s) that will be accessing the state server will run to the name of the machine where the state server process will be running

2. Run the state server program, SaState, on the machine that you have just defined.
