The DAS server component is an OS/2 program that runs within the AMU controller personal computer (PC). It converts DAS client requests into AMU AMS requests and sends them to the AMS for action. Fifty heterogeneous networked clients can be configured within the DAS server environment.

Clients requiring access to ADIC AML systems may use the DAS ACI software component to communicate library requests to the DAS server component. DAS clients make the necessary calls to the DAS server with remote procedure calls (RPC). The DAS ACI library component hides this interface from the client application and provides function calls to the library to request library operations. Clients may be granted complete or restricted access to the AML resources. DAS administrators control client access and privileges through client registration.

The DAS client ACI component provides a set of C function calls, available as static and/or dynamic libraries (depending on the operating system platform) for a range of operating system platforms. The libraries may be linked to application software, or be used with the command line administration command interface.

ACI Services

Since the DAS server is a network server, all communication with the server component use a network application level protocol. The ACI hides the network support, and enables the user to treat the functions as ‘stand-alone’, without the need for a supporting structure. The ACI operates synchronously. Once a request is made to the AML, the request process does not regain control until the operation has completed or has otherwise terminated. (An exception is the inventory call, which starts a physical inventory, and returns.)

The ACI uses RPCs to request DAS services and to receive replies over the network. The RPC port mapper assures that port numbers are routed correctly.

Client Services

The ACI provides two types of user services:

•Basic Services

Server specifications

ADIC Server, short for Advanced Data Interoperability and Communication Server, is a modern server platform designed to facilitate seamless data exchanges, interoperability, and communication among various applications and systems. Tailored for organizations that require robust data management solutions, ADIC Server stands out due to its unique features and flexibility.

One of the main features of ADIC Server is its comprehensive data integration capabilities. It supports a wide array of data formats, including JSON, XML, and CSV, allowing organizations to connect diverse data sources effortlessly. This flexibility is critical in a data-driven world, ensuring that businesses can leverage their data regardless of where it resides.

ADIC Server also boasts a rich set of APIs, enabling developers to create custom applications and integrations without extensive overhead. This feature allows businesses to extend their existing systems and ensure that they can adapt their operations quickly to meet ever-changing market demands.

In terms of technology, ADIC Server is built on a microservices architecture, which ensures scalability and reliability. Each microservice can operate independently, allowing organizations to scale specific components of the system according to their needs. This modular approach also promotes resilience, as failure in one service does not directly impact the entire server functionality.

Security is another hallmark of ADIC Server. The platform incorporates advanced encryption protocols and authentication mechanisms to safeguard sensitive data transactions. Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that data is only accessible to authorized personnel, thus significantly reducing the risk of data breaches.

Another characteristic deserving mention is the server's exceptional performance. ADIC Server is optimized for high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for real-time data processing. Organizations can rely on the server to handle large volumes of data from various sources without compromising speed or efficiency.

Moreover, its user-friendly interface and robust monitoring tools facilitate effective management and troubleshooting. Administrators can easily track performance metrics, identify bottlenecks, and ensure optimal operation of the server.

In conclusion, ADIC Server represents a cutting-edge solution for organizations striving to enhance data interoperability and communication. With its integration capabilities, scalable architecture, security features, and performance optimization, it stands as a dependable choice for businesses looking to leverage their data assets more effectively.
