Using the Idle-test, Server or Clients and the Manager can mutually 
ascertain whether all preceding OLGA-messages have been processed. For 
this the following OLGA_IDLE message is sent (Manager -> App or App -> 
Manager):

 Parameter  Meaning 
 WORD 0     Message number (0x1249) 
 WORD 1     Manager ID (manID) 
 WORD 2     0 
 WORD 3     1 
 WORD 4     Reserved 
 WORD 5     Reserved 
 WORD 6     Reserved 
 WORD 7     Reserved 

As a reply one receives (or the Client/Server has to send to the 
Manager) the following OLGA_IDLE message:

 Parameter  Meaning 
 WORD 0     Message number (0x1249) 
 WORD 1     AES ID of own program (apID) 
 WORD 2     0 
 WORD 3     0 
 WORD 4     Same value as in the received OLGA_IDLE 
 WORD 5     Same value as in the received OLGA_IDLE 
 WORD 6     Same value as in the received OLGA_IDLE 
 WORD 7     Same value as in the received OLGA_IDLE 

An application supporting the Idle-test must set the corresponding bit 
(OLE-IDLE) when it receives OLE_INIT. Conversely the OLGA-Manager 
displays these abilities with OLGA_INIT and OLE_NEW.

This function was added to OLGA in Rev 1.2 (1996-11-20).
