The SDLC and X.25 lines can connect through an X.21 interface.RJE supports communication with host systems running MVS/SP JES2, MVS/SP JES3, VMRSCS Networking, and VSE/AF POWER.IBM Distributed Computing Environment Base Srvcs for AS/400 (5769-DC1)Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Base Services for OS/400 increases distributedcomputing in the open systems environment for the iSeries server. It includes these basicDCE services:• Remote Procedure Call• Cell Directory Client function• Security Client function• Time ServicesDCE is an integrated set of distributed computing technologies provided by the OpenSoftware Foundation (OSF) Specification Version 1.2.2. The components of DCE form a layerthat lies between the operating system and network and the distributed application. DCEenables application programmers to implement an open distributed computing environment,to allow interoperability among distributed applications within a network of multi-vendorsystems.Support of these functions on the iSeries server enables OS/400 to participate in aheterogeneous distributed environment by interoperating with other systems that alsosupport the OSF/DCE standard. OSF/DCE has its origins in UNIX. It is enhanced by the DCEBase Services for OS/400 product to provide the familiar look and feel of the iSeries serverwith support for system messages, menus, prompts, and help text. iSeries customers cancomfortably proceed along a familiar path that leads ultimately into the world of opensystems.IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Base Services for AS/400Product number 5769-DC1Replaces product NoneMinimum OS/400 level V4R3Installation prerequisites NoneRelated products None
