The location of the called procedure is transparent to the developer. Existing enterprise functions that can be called via RPC can be wrapped with standard interfaces so they appear just like DCOM or Java objects. The wizard included in the EntireX Developers Kit makes the wrapping process a breeze. With EntireX Wrapping existing functionality, for instance a CICS transaction on a mainframe, can be made available to web applications within hours. Manager EntireX Manager provides functionality for monitoring and managing the EntireX environment.
Manager provides a central service for administration.
Since EntireX Manager exposes administration functions via DCOM interfaces, these functions can easily be accessed by desktop applications. Common COM-enabled scripting languages can be used to automate administration tasks. DCOM turns DCOM into a viable choice for component-oriented development of applications throughout the enterprise. With special support for mainframe Cobol and the ATL porting guide in EntireX and its products Bolero and NaturalX, Software AG makes it easy to develop DCOM server components for non-Windows platforms.
