DCE(Distributed Computing Environment) Porting Tool 1 (1995)
Abstract:
Abstract: This paper describes the design and implementation of a conversion tool. This tool, called Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Porting Tool, converts an Open Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) application to a DCE RPC application. The manual intervention needed during the conversion process in minimal. The paper briefly describes RPC programming and highlights the difference between ONC RPC and DCE RPC. The design decisions of the Porting Tool is explained. The implementation uses LEX and YACC (language processing tools supported by Unix) for conversion logic and OSF/MOTIF for Graphical User Interface (GUI). The paper concludes with current limitations of the Tool and the possible future work.
