OpenAPI Enhancements
Environment handles were added to OpenAPI. Environment handles allow greater application control over configuration of the OpenAPI runtime environment. OpenAPI version 2 was added to indicate support for environment handles.
Extensions were made to the following OpenAPI functions to support environment handles:
IIapi_initialize() to allocate environment handles
IIapi_connect() to open connections using environment settings
Three new environment handle associated functions were added:
IIapi_setEnvParam() for setting environment configuration parameters
IIapi_formatData() for converting data values relative to environment settings
IIapi_releaseEnv() to release environment handle resources
Also added is the function IIapi_abort() to forcefully shut down connections under error conditions.
