Method and system for improving remote function calls

摘要

The present invention relates to improvements for managing remote function calls and other mechanisms for managing the remote invocation and control of programs. A separation of the request-driven communication work from one broad unstructured bulk of work into at least two separate portions of management is proposed: a dispatching portion and one or more connection portions. Connections are not closed but are reused whenever advantageous, which yields better performance. A standardized interface is set up which is able to be used by a plurality of different requester applications. Thus, a way is found to pass a RFC connection from one application to another, and the same RFC connection can be used by totally independent applications.
