Description
This Generic Function belongs to Working Area Server. The Presentation Engine function processes input to and output from another infrastructure function. It is used to provide a user interface and/or to format messages and/or other data that are exchanged with/from that function.
An instance of a Presentation Engine function can be deployed to enhance user interaction in situations where data transport capabilities are limited. Application of this facility in this way can significantly reduce the bandwidth that is required between the user and the application, e.g. when consulting a large database.
Examples that implement Presentation Engine functionality are:
- a web server;
- a facility serving "thin clients".
