A session is an instance of the class <xref href="GUID-1CDD0B97-8B00-3373-9908-512C9BC1CF51.dita"><apiname>CMDBSession</apiname></xref>. An instance of <codeph>CMDBSession</codeph> acts as a handle to the database. The functions provided by <xref href="GUID-1CDD0B97-8B00-3373-9908-512C9BC1CF51.dita"><apiname>MMetaDatabase</apiname></xref> to access the Comms Database require an instance of <codeph>CMDBSession</codeph>. </p> <fig id="GUID-4B909AEF-6C15-52C4-9C5B-41E55B65A365"><image href="GUID-FFBB390B-0A5D-5ABC-A111-95B3C84818DE_d0e79925_href.png" placement="inline"/></fig> <p>You must create a session before you get data from the Comms Database and before you update the Comms Database. To create a session, you create an instance of the <xref href="GUID-1CDD0B97-8B00-3373-9908-512C9BC1CF51.dita"><apiname>CMDBSession</apiname></xref> class. </p> <p>You delete the session after you finish your use of the Comms Database. To delete a session, you delete the instance of the <xref href="GUID-1CDD0B97-8B00-3373-9908-512C9BC1CF51.dita"><apiname>CMDBSession</apiname></xref> class. </p> </conbody></concept>
