datasnap issue

[abc]

hello im using borland c++ builder 2006 for creating a multitier datasnap
based application.
the application runs normally but i have encountered an issue which i dont
know if its normal or not.

in order to replicate the issue just follow the steps:
1.create a simple datasnap server -client applications
2. open the scksrv.exe in the server side.
3. run the client without running the server
at that point you will see that the scksrv.exe opens the server program
without asking.
clients can start the servers program this way,is there any way that we can
avoid it?ofc
one way is to close the scksrv.exe,but is there any option that can stop
this from happening?

moreover i have observed an even stranger behaviour...
if the client program and the server program are both open, the client
terminates unenxpected
for some reason(e.g. throw an exception and close) , and then reopen the
client, the scksrv.exe opens a new instance
of the server program...(so in the server maschine there will be 2 instances
of the same server program...)
any ideas on this issue?

i havent included any code because there is no need to, just create a simple
datasnap server-client and observe their
behaviour.
thank you for your time

i managed to solve the problem with opening many instances of the server
application. actually it is
something that happens in order to have a pool of remote datamodules
available for the clients. the instancing
option in tools->options->atl can be set to multi in order to allow one
remote datamodule to serve many clients instead of
opening one remote datamodule instance per client request. to be honest i
dont pretty much understand the reason for having
many remote datams running,i think one can do the job and can save server
resources. but the other problem still remains.

if the server is not open and a client requests ,the server opens
automatically. how can we fix this issue?
thanks
