6.2.3 Defining the Network Transport for the Client Services Interface

TP Desktop Connector software supports the TCP/IP network transport for Windows clients. The product files include the client application’s TCP/IP dynamic link library (DLL). This files is installed, by default, in:

C:\TPware\stdl_rt\bin\acmsdiWS.dll

To set up the TP Desktop Connector software for the TCP/IP transport, copy the TCP/IP DLL from the installation folder to your working directory, and rename it acmsdi.dll. The acmsdiWS.dll provides TCP/IP support through the Windows WINsock facility.

To read the instructions, choose the ACMS Samples item from the TP Desktop Connector for ACMS menu in the TPware Products program group.

If you are developing a TP Desktop Connector client application that uses the Client Services Interface on a Windows system, the client services files are installed on your desktop by the setup program with the rest of the development tools. The instructions for setting up the client services and running the sample programs are in Sections 6.2.5 and 6.2.6.

6.2.5 Running the Windows Sample Client Application

Compaq TP Desktop Connector client services includes the same Visual Basic AVERTZ sample that was provided for ACMS Desktop V2.0; it is a blocking, no exchange I/O client. Table A–3 describes the contents of the Visual Basic sample folder TPware\STDL\Samples\acmsdi\VB.
