You can use the function isc_service_start() to request that the Services Manager perform specified tasks. These tasks execute on the server host as a thread in the ibserver process. This section describes the types of tasks you can request.
You can execute only one task at a time in a given attachment to a Services Manager. While the task is running, you can retrieve any output of the task using isc_service_query(). You can maintain multiple attachments to a Services Manager and execute a task in each attachment.
