 SRA      Service Requesting Application. This means the application 
          that sends SSP_SRASR to the Server to request use of a 
          service.

 SPA      Service Providing Application. This means the application 
          that receives SSP_SSIR from the Server to indicate that an 
          SRA has requested a service. All SPAs have to register with 
          the SSP-Server.

 Service  is a certain part of an applications functionality or 
          capability that can be provided to, and used by, other 
          applications using SSP. Generalized types of services are 
          hardwired into the SSP-Server. See SSP services.

 IRS      Immediate Response Service. This means a service that 
          requires virtually immediate response to SSP_SSUR from the 
          Server, with SSP_SPASA.

 DRS      Delayed Response Service. This means a service that requires 
          response to SSP_SSUR from the Server with SSP_SPASA not 
          after performing the service has started, but after 
          performing the service has been completed (e.g. compressing 
          files).

 Invisible Service This means a service that is usually triggered 
          automatically by the SRA without requiring user interaction. 
          See Status Display Service.

 Interactive Service This means a service that is usually triggered by 
          the SRA from a user action. See Send File Service.

 Server Registration All SPAs have to register with the SSP-Server 
          before they can provide and perform any services. 
          Registration should be done once on program installation and 
          every time the SPA starts up. See SSP Server registration.

 Server   or SSP-Server Application running in the background that 
          receives and sends messages from and to SPAs and SRAs. All 
          communication between SPAs and SRAs has the SSP-Server as 
          mediator.
          See What is the SSP-Server?

 Message  in these documents refers to an AES message received by 
          evnt_mesag (or evnt_multi, respectively). The communication 
          in SSP is based on AES messages.
          See SSP messages.

 Server debug mode If the environment variable SSP_SERVERDEBUG is 
          defined (!) the Server will log all activity (service 
          requests, message-buffers, shared memory addresses and 
          -files, etc.) to sspdebug.log in the Server application 
          directory, and output the same information in a window, 
          including suggestions on how to fix possible bugs.
