One-Way Conversation

In the one-way conversation, the simplest type of conversation, the client transaction program passes some data to the server and the server notes it, as summarized in Table 1.

This minimal sort of conversation is used with data whose delivery is not critical; for example, to periodically update a status display, to record usage levels, or log a condition.
