Using DCOM


The adapter replaces the RPC Proxy Stub (DCOM)-based access of remote COM servers with TIBCO Rendezvous-based access. Although it is recommended that the service component of the adapter and the COM object run on the same machine, the service component provides the ability to launch components on a remote machine using DCOM.

To use DCOM to launch components on a remote machine using the adapter:

  1. Configure and register the DCOM server on a different machine to support remote invocation.
  2. Test the server using a COM client from the machine where the service component of the adapter instance will be running.
  3. Import the server type library to the repository that the service component instance will be using.
    For more information on DCOM configuration, consult MSDN or any introductory text on COM/DCOM.
