Session Manager - Is it here to stay?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of improving some TestStand architecture here. One of the items in particular that I'm working on is the manner by which we pass VISA sessions between parallel / batch sockets.

I understand there are myriad ways of doing this (okay, maybe a dozen or so), each with pros and cons.

I like the idea of the Session Manager because it decouples dependencies between various code modules.  However, the Session Manager's been around for quite some time and there isn't much information on it.

1. Are any of you out there using it?
2. Can anyone from NI comment on what the future is for this application?  Will it be sunsetted or superseded and is it still supported?
3. Is there any reason not to use it in our architecture henceforth?

Thanks as always,

Mr. Jim
