Mike,
The Global.ASA file is used in Microsoft's Internet Information Server to
controll session information, and global application variables. For
example, you might put a connection string in the Global.ASA instead of
embedding it into the application so that application can be ported to more
than one server and SQL environment. As each connection string will vary,
depending on the make, model, and manufacture of the SQL server, database,
and table's being accessed, and password being used.
Another feature of the Global.ASA is to manage the starting and stopping of
sessions. In the Global.ASA you would define sections of code that would be
run when a new session started, and when a session terminated, either by
timing out or by the user signing off. This allows the program to maintain
an active connection to an SQL server, instead of recreating it every time
the page is requested.
These are the basic reasons why the Global.ASA file was created, and is
used.
