RE: Cross(-eyed) Platform RPC

CM -

I *think* this is functionally identical but linguistically different than "client/server" RPC calls. The rsh is supported ( i ::think::, Unix goo-roo's help me, here) by udp/ip as is rpc calling, but...is strictly remote execution without the richness the RPC connection offers.

Of course, I am probably just smoking WAY to much Oracle cRAC.

thanks for your thoughts...it keeps the juice going (but then again, you probably didn't need that level of detail. )

I'm supporting Siebel; where the database is Oracle running on Solaris while the Siebel "application server" software runs on an NT box. As part of the DB shutdown script an "rsh" is issued to the NT box to stop the application server s/w prior to bringing down the DB. In the DB startup script the application server is started after the DB comes up.

I've successfully tested starting from NT & invoking a script on Solaris, but don't have anything just yet in production that uses this capability.

HTH & YMMV!
