    摘要: In response to a component management function call by a remote client application, the component management application programming interface (API) generates a message that identifies the called function and the version of the component management API. The component management API calls a local message transfer RPC command to send the message to a RPC command module. The RPC command module processes the local message transfer RPC command, and packages the message for transfer as a RPC over the heterogenous network. The RPC command module sends the packaged RPC to a network stack which in turn transmits the packaged RPC over the heterogenous network to a network stack in the server computer. The server network stack provides the packaged RPC to a server RPC command module that unpacks the RPC in a conventional manner to obtain the original message. The message is passed to a server component management API. The server component management API parses the message to determine the computer architecture of the client computer. With this information, server component management API reads the version specified in the message. If the specified version is incompatible with the version of the server component management API, a reply indicating the version incompatibility is transmitted to remote client application and otherwise the message is processed further by the server component management API.

    摘要翻译: 响应远程客户端应用程序的组件管理功能调用,组件管理应用程序编程接口(API)生成标识被调用函数和组件管理API版本的消息。 组件管理API调用本地消息传输RPC命令将消息发送到RPC命令模块。 RPC命令模块处理本地消息传输RPC命令,并将消息打包为通过异构网络传输的RPC。 RPC命令模块将打包的RPC发送到网络堆栈,网络堆栈又通过异构网络将打包的RPC传输到服务器计算机中的网络堆栈。 服务器网络堆栈将打包的RPC提供给服务器RPC命令模块,该模块以常规方式解包RPC以获得原始消息。 消息传递到服务器组件管理API。 服务器组件管理API解析消息以确定客户端计算机的计算机体系结构。 使用此信息,服务器组件管理API会读取消息中指定的版本。 如果指定的版本与服务器组件管理API的版本不兼容,则表示版本不兼容的回复将发送到远程客户端应用程序,否则该消息将被服务器组件管理API进一步处理。
