### MODULE

eva_server

### MODULE SUMMARY

The Main Global Server in EVA

### DESCRIPTION

This module implements the main global server in EVA. The client API towards this server is defined in the module `eva`. The functions in this module are used to start the service.

### EXPORTS

`create_tables(Nodes) -> void()`

Types:

`Nodes = [node()]`

This function creates the Mnesia tables required for the `eva_server`. `Nodes` is a list of nodes where the tables should be replicated. This list of nodes should specify the same nodes where the application EVA can be run distributed, so that EVA always can have local access to the tables.

This function should be called once when installing the EVA application in the system.

`start_link() -> {ok, Pid} | {error, Reason}`

Starts the eva server. This function can be used to include the server in a supervisor. Normally, functions in the supervisor `eva_sup` can be used instead.

The function `create_tables/1` must have been called before the server is started.
