Title Tutorial 

AdminClient
AstaIO servers can log client requests. Servers should not really have any User Interface so any server log events can be read in real time by AstaIOAdmin clients. The TAstaIOServerWire has a LogEvents property that allows control of the events written to the log. The AdminClient uses a TAstaIOClientLeanWire which is a light messaging version that doesn't link in db.pas.This client shows activity from remote AstaIO Servers.

AllMetaData
Shows the ability for AstaIO clients to fetch all MetaData information in one call from a remote server

AstaIO supports the IProvider Interface. This tutorial shows how AstaIO can use AstaIOIProviders in a manner very similar to MIDAS/DataSnap.
