Choosing a Server Configuration

Integration Technologies provides two types of server configurations:

When to Use a COM/DCOM Server Configuration

You can use a COM/DCOM server configuration if:

If the object server will be accessed by a Java client, you must use an IOM Bridge server configuration instead.

For more information about COM/DCOM distributed clients, refer to Connecting Clients to IOM Servers. For information on using Integration Technologies to set up a COM/DCOM server configuration, see Setting Up a COM/DCOM Server.

When to Use an IOM Bridge Server Configuration

You must use an IOM Bridge server configuration if:

You can also use an IOM Bridge server configuration if the object server will run on a Windows machine and will be accessed by Windows clients. In this situation, clients will connect to the server using the IOM Bridge instead of COM/DCOM.

For more information about the IOM Bridge for COM and the IOM Bridge for Java, refer to Connecting Clients to IOM Servers. For information on using Integration Technologies to set up an IOM Bridge server configuration, see Setting Up an IOM Bridge Server.
