EMSRV is the program that manages concurrent access to shared repositories on the server. It uses native locking calls to manage file input/output requests against the library files on the server. The administrator must start the library server, using the emsrv command, before clients can connect to the shared library. The administrator then uses the EMADMIN utility to manage the library server.

Note:VisualAge Smalltalk supports EMSRV 6.23 or later. These releases require that library files reside on a local file system.
