Distributed Processing Application

A CA Gen Distributed Processing (DP) client/server application is software that is comprised of two or more separate executables: Distributed Processing Clients (DPC) and Distributed Processing Servers (DPS). Each executable performs a specific function for the overall application.

The DPC communicates with the DPS by transmitting request and reply byte streams across a network connection. These byte streams are transmitted over supported transport protocols provided by CA Gen using a mechanism known as a cooperative flow.

For a detailed description of CA Gen Distributed Processing applications, see the Distributed Processing – Overview Guide.
