Dce rpc pdf

I am doing the B.Tech in Computer Engineering. There is subject of Distributed Computing in final year. I got a topic DCE RPC in this subject. I am curious to know about it. Can you please tell me about the DCE Remote Procedure Call API in Distributed Computing?

Can anyone provide notes on DCE: Remote Procedure Call? My elder brother wants notes on this topic. So please give link to download notes on DCE: Remote Procedure Call in pdf file?

As you are looking to download notes on DCE: Remote Procedure Call, so here I am providing complete notes:

Notes on DCE: Remote Procedure Call

Preface:
The Open Group
The Open Group is the leading vendor-neutral, international consortium for buyers and suppliers of technology. Its mission is to cause the development of a viable global information infrastructure that is ubiquitous, trusted, reliable, and as easy-to-use as the telephone. The essential functionality embedded in this infrastructure is what we term the IT DialTone. The
Open Group creates an environment where all elements involved in technology development can cooperate to deliver less costly and more flexible IT solutions.

Formed in 1996 by the merger of the X/Open Company Ltd. (founded in 1984) and the Open
Software Foundation (founded in 1988), The Open Group is supported by most of the worlds largest user organizations, information systems vendors, and software suppliers. By combining the strengths of open systems specifications and a proven branding scheme with collaborative technology development and advanced research, The Open Group is well positioned to meet its new mission, as well as to assist user organizations, vendors, and suppliers in the development and implementation of products supporting the adoption and proliferation of systems which conform to standard specifications.

With more than 200 member companies, The Open Group helps the IT industry to advance technologically while managing the change caused by innovation. It does this by:

Consolidating, prioritizing, and communicating customer requirements to vendors

Conducting research and development with industry, academia, and government agencies to deliver innovation and economy through projects associated with its Research Institute

Managing cost-effective development efforts that accelerate consistent multi-vendor deployment of technology in response to customer requirements

Adopting, integrating, and publishing industry standard specifications that provide an essential set of blueprints for building open information systems and integrating new technology as it becomes available

Licensing and promoting the Open Brand, represented by the ‘‘X mark, that designates vendor products which conform to Open Group Product Standards

Promoting the benefits of the IT DialTone to customers, vendors, and the public

The Development of Product Standards
This process includes the identification of requirements for open systems and, now, the IT
Dial Tone, development of CAE and Preliminary Specifications through an industry consensus# review and adoption procedure (in parallel with formal standards work), and the development of tests and conformance criteria.

This leads to the preparation of a Product Standard which is the name used for the documentation that records the conformance requirements (and other information) to which a vendor may register a product. There are currently two forms of Product Standard, namely the Profile Definition and the Component Definition, although these will eventually be merged into one.

The ‘‘X mark is used by vendors to demonstrate that their products conform to the relevant Product Standard. By use of the Open Brand they guarantee, through the X/Open Trade Mark Licence Agreement (TMLA), to maintain their products in conformance with the Product
Standard so that the product works, will continue to work, and that any problems will be fixed by the vendor.

Versions and Issues of Specifications
As with all live documents, CAE Specifications require revision to align with new developments and associated international standards. To distinguish between revised specifications which are fully backwards compatible and those which are not:

A new Version indicates there is no change to the definitive information contained in the previous publication of that title, but additions/extensions are included. As such, it replaces the previous publication.

A new Issue indicates there is substantive change to the definitive information contained in the previous publication of that title, and there may also be additions/extensions. As such, both previous and new documents are maintained as current publications.

Structure
This document is organised into four parts.
Part 1, Remote Procedure Call Introduction describes this document in detail, covering application portability, services and protocols, and conformance requirements. It contains material relevant to both application programmers and implementors.

Part 2, RPC Application Programmers Interface specifies a portable RPC Application
Programmers Interface (API). It contains material relevant both to application programmers and implementors.

Part 3, Interface Definition Language and Stubs specifies the IDL and stubs. It contains material relevant both to application programmers and implementors.

Part 4, RPC Services and Protocols specifies RPC services and protocols. It contains material mainly relevant to implementors.

This document also includes a series of appendixes containing material that supplements the main text. These contain material relevant both to application programmers and implementors.
