Distributed Processing Application

A CA Gen Distributed Processing (DP) client/server application is software that consists of two or more separate executables, where each executable performs a specific function for the overall application. Communication between the DP application components is accomplished using a mechanism that is known as cooperative flow.

The Server Manager and Window Manager procedure steps are shown in the following illustration:
