Enhancements to DCE on MPE/iX

By Wendy Cheng

Commercial Systems Division

DCE 1.2.1 and RPC 1.2.1 are being released on MPE/iX 7.0 Express 1. DCE 1.2.1 is

targeted for customers using the DCE-Client features, namely the security and naming

service. This version of DCE 1.2.1 also contains the administrative tools for the respective

components.

The DCE 1.2.1 product on MPE/iX provides the enhanced support for the core DCE

components. It does not support the complete functionality of OSF DCE 1.2.1. All

customers using only RPC functionality may continue to do so with the RPC 1.2.1 release.

DCE 1.2.1 is available as a patch for MPE/iX release 6.0 (patch ID DCELX60A) and

MPE/iX release 6.5 (patch ID DCELX60). RPC 1.2.1 is also available as a patch for MPE/iX

release 6.0 (patch ID FRILXHOA and MPE/iX release 6.5 (patch ID FRILXHIA).

Threads Library

The threads library was separated from the DCE libraries and also ported to P1003.1c

APIs. The new threads library was delivered in POSIX environment as

/usr/lib/libpthread.sl.

The DCE library was also ported to P1003.1c APIs. The complete DCE-Client product is

not ported to P1003.1c APIs. The DCE deamons: DCED, CDSADV, DTSD and the

administration tools are not ported to P1003.1c thread APIs. They still use the P1003.4a

APIs. To support these utilities and to maintain the compatibility with the older DCE

applications, the DCE library that supports P1003.4a APIs is also delivered as

DCEXL.HPDCE.SYS. All the deamons and the administration tools are linked to this

library.
