But the DCE application programming interface (API) is complex and a barrier to its adoption. This book provides guidelines and tools to lessen the complexity of using the DCE, and to permit it to be used from other programming languages, such as COBOL. Covers the new facilities in the OSF DCE 1.1 Release that eases the development and management of application servers, the management of network communications, the location of resources, and the enforcement of security.
