Introduction

Computer programs use various implementation techniques to facilitate the interoperation of the pieces of software that make up their complete application. One such technique is client/server. A client/server application distributes an application's logic between code that operates as a client and code that operates a server. Clients and servers cooperate using a mutually understood application protocol. Clients typically request the services, or application logic, offered by a server.

Clients and servers can exist on the same physical machine or can be distributed across a computer network.This guide serves as an overview to the CA Gen Distributed Processing client/server application.
