Client/Server BindingNext

Chapter 1: Introduction

This book describes the communications middleware available with Server Express for creating and running client/server applications.

You connect a client to a server with COBOL Client/Server Binding. Server Express provides the Client/Server Binding as an example of a good, yet simple way to connect a client to a server. The Client/Server Binding uses the Common Communications Interface (CCI) to perform the communications.

CCI is the technology used by MERANT products such as Fileshare to enable communications between applications. On Server Express, CCI can run on TCP/IP and Named Pipes. CCI allows a common approach to configuration and diagnosis of errors for users of MERANT distributed applications.
