Connects an EDMclient application process to a local EDMdatabase. This feature has implemented to provide all EDMInterface functionality through the remote EDMInterface calls. The EDMclient will be connected to the EDMserver with an EDMuser account and an optional EDMgroup account. This function is applicable for the LOCAL_CONTEXT communication type.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
SdaiServerContext	serverContextId	Context identification, from edmiDefineServerContext
SdaiString	edmUserName	Name of an EDMuser account in the _EDMdatabase. EDMuser account names are case insensitive.
SdaiString	edmUserGroup	Name of an EDMgroup account in the _EDMdatabase This argument is optional. If it is not used, no check on "group access rights" will be performed within the connect session. Any protected database object that is being created when connected without an EDMgroup account will not be assigned a "group owner". The EDMuser specified by the <edmUserName> argument must be a member of the EDMgroup defined by the <edmUserGroup> argument.
SdaiString	password	The password for the EDMuser specified by the <edmUserName> argument.
SdaiString	unavailableMessage	A variable that will receive an optional message from the system administrator if the connect operation fails due to the EDMdatabase having been set unavailable for maintenance reasons. The text string is located in a temporary internal buffer and will be overwritten by the next EDMinterface call. Do not free this memory with edmiFree
SdaiInvocationId	edmiInvocationId	Currently not used.
