Difference between Session Scope and Global Scope

Nellysas — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 11:04:33 GMT

Hello,

I am new to programming and I have doubts that maybe it could be insignificant but are important for me to understand. I would like to ask what is the difference between a scope session and a global session, it will be fine if someone can give an example.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hello,

It's not the CAS session itself that is session-scope or global scope, it's about the CAS tables created in that session.

Remember session-scope tables can only be seen by a single CAS session and are dropped from CAS when that session is terminated, while global-scope tables can be seen publicly and will not be dropped when the CAS session is terminated.
