How to pass a container to a remote sequence (TS 3.5)

Question

I found out yesterday that you cannot pass a container by value to a sequence running on a remote TS server. Containers are only passed by reference. I am trying to pass a copy of a station globals container to the sequence on the remote computer so that that container doesn't have to be deployed to each remote server in the system everytime it gets changed. That's a maintenance nightmare. If I try to pass a reference to the station globals container I get an error when executing the remote sequence when it tries to access subproperties within the container. A variable scope issue I'm guessing.
1) How can I achieve what I explained above by passing something to the remote sequence?
2) Any other valid approach to do this?
Thanks

Answer 1

At the moment the system I am working on is still in development so I just copy the station globals file manually to all the remote teststand servers. It looks like the property loader would be a great way to get this done, since all the teststand stations can load these properties from the same file on a network drive, and it eliminates the need to pass around this station global.
Q: What callback(s) get executed on the remote server when a remote sequence call is executed from the client? I need to find the appropriate place to load those properties with the property loader before running the target sequence
Thanks
