YIELD
The YIELD program demonstrates use of the RpcWinSetYieldInfo function to
prevent a distributed application from blocking during lengthy remote
procedure calls.
FILES
=====
The directory samples\rpc\yield contains the following files for building
the sample distributed application YIELD:
File Description
README.TXT Readme file for the YIELD sample
YIELD.IDL Interface definition language file
YIELD.ACF Attribute configuration file
YIELDC.C Client main program
YIELDC.RC Client resource file
YIELDC.DLG Client dialog box definitions
YIELDC.DEF Client module definition file
YIELDS.C Server main program
YIELDP.C Remote procedures
MAKEFILE Nmake file for Windows NT or Windows 95
MAKEFILE.win Nmake file for Win 3.x
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BUILDING SERVER APPLICATION FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT OR WINDOWS 95:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The following environment variables should be set for you already.
set CPU=i386
set INCLUDE=%SDKROOT%\h
set LIB=%SDKROOT%\lib
set PATH=%SDKROOT%\system32;%SDKROOT%\bin;
Where %SDKROOT% is the root directory for the 32-bit Windows SDK.
For mips, set CPU=mips
For alpha, set CPU=alpha
Build the sample server application:
nmake cleanall
nmake
These commands build the server executable program YIELDS.EXE.
--------------------------------------------
BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR WIN 3.X
--------------------------------------------
After installing the Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 1.50 development
environment and the 16-bit RPC SDK on a Windows NT or Windows 95
computer, you can build the sample client application from Windows NT
or Windows 95.
nmake -f makefile.win cleanall
nmake -f makefile.win
This builds the client application yieldc.exe.
You may also execute the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler under MS-DOS.
This requires a two step build process.
Step One: Compile the .IDL files under Windows NT or Windows 95.
nmake -a -f makefile.win yield.h
Step Two: Compile the C sources (stub and application) under MS-DOS.
nmake -f makefile.win
------------------------------------------
RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS
------------------------------------------
On the server, enter
yields
On the client, choose the Run command from the File menu in the
Microsoft Windows 3.x Program Manager and enter YIELDC.EXE.
Several command line switches are available to change settings for
the server application. For a listing of available switches, enter
yields -?
Bug: If you cancel in the middle of a custom yield, you must wait
for the number of seconds you originally set before making another
remote procedure call.
