The CA Plex r6.0 and r6.1 .NET runtime uses TCP-IP as their only communication protocol with other platforms. While the TCP-IP is suitable for intranet applications, it does not scale for the web or for cloud-based server application deployments. With CA Plex r6.1, it was not possible to call Plex generated client functions and server functions running within IIS.
With CA Plex r7.0, a new WCF call interface has been added to the CA Plex .NET runtime. By deploying the CA Plex .NET Server runtime in a suitable host, you can now deploy your server applications to environments which were previously impossible, such as IIS. WCF call interface also allows you to use any communication protocol which WCF supports, such as HTTP, TCPIP, or Named Pipes.
A new Protocol has been created, named CSHARPWCF, which allows you to specify that remote calls must use WCF. After you select this protocol, the additional parameters required to configure the remote server are available for you to set.
Note: Only C# Client to C# Server are supported operating environments for the WCF Runtime Proxy.
For more information about the WCF Proxy feature, see the WCF Runtime Proxy section in the online help.
