Web Enabling Your HP 3000

Enterprise Solutions

Data interoperability in a web-centric enterprise-computing environment is not only between

the HP e3000 and other HP e3000s or NT and the HP e3000, but also with other platforms such

as UNIX, IBM, and Solaris. In addition to the technologies and tools that are mentioned in the

previous sections, many new emerging protocols, standards, and middleware are also used to

pull these heterogeneous data repositories together in a seamless fashion without burdening the

user with knowledge of the access methods for each platform. The HP e3000 continues to

embrace new technologies to provide interoperability and Web enablement in the evolving

enterprise computing environment.

DCE Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

DCE RPC is the software to implement the communication between the client and server of an

application through the Remote Procedure call (RPC). RPC gives the users the ability to express

an interaction between client and server of a distributed application as if it were a procedure

call. RPC provides a high level programming model to the distributed applications and hides

networking communication details from the users.

DCE RPC has begun bundled with MPE/iX since release 6.0. A new version of DCE RPC1.2.1 in

is beta testing and will be soon released.
