Programming Information for Servers and Clients in a Distributed Computing Environment

摘要

A method and system for generating event information in a distributed computing environment. An event information packet is passed between the client system and the server system in a remote procedure call. Event information, such as trace data, is gathered in the event packet during execution of the remote procedure, and the event packet is passed back to the calling system when the procedure returns. The information in the event packet is made available for use by a program, such as a debugging utility or other application, running in the address space of the client system.
