Jaguar shared components versus PowerBuilder shared objects

Jaguar shared components offer many of the same benefits as PowerBuilder shared objects. However, they are not the same thing. PowerBuilder components that you deploy to Jaguar can act as clients to Jaguar shared components, as well as to PowerBuilder shared objects. Jaguar shared components can be accessed by components and clients that are not implemented in PowerBuilder.

However, Jaguar does not treat PowerBuilder shared objects as if they were Jaguar shared components. Therefore, the functions used to manipulate PowerBuilder shared objects (SharedObjectRegister(), SharedObjectGet(),SharedObjectDirectory()and SharedObjectUnRegister ()) do not work with Jaguar shared components. If you try to call one of these functions inside a PowerBuilder component running in Jaguar, the request will fail.
