3.2.4.4 Multiple-Bitness Capability Negotiation

  • Article

A COMA client MAY<359> attempt to perform capability negotiation for the multiple-bitness capability.

This negotiation MUST be performed before the client attempts to change the configuration of the non-native bitness of any component. Multiple-bitness capability negotiation is described in more detail in section 3.1.4.4.

On successful completion of multiple-partition support capability negotiation, the client SHOULD indicate the results of the negotiation by setting the "server supports multiple bitnesses" value in its per-session state.

If the COMA server does not support the multiple-bitness capability, or if capability negotiation fails because the server does not implement the ICatalog64BitSupport (section 3.1.4.6) interface, the client MUST NOT attempt to change the configuration of the non-native bitness of any component.
