This figure illustrates the components of the OracleAS TopLink Remote Command Manager (RCM). Central to the OracleAS TopLink RCM is the Command Manager. It iteracts with the DiscoveryManager, CommandConverter, CommandProcessor, and TransportManager. RCM communicates with OracleAS TopLink by way of the TransPort manager which provides a Name Service. The TransportManager forwards commands received from OracleAS TopLink to the CommandManager and propagates commands received from the CommandManager to OracleAS TopLink. The CommandProcessor is used to propagate and process commands. The DiscoveryManager is used to maintain connection information. The CommandConverter is used to convert commands between OracleAS TopLink format and application specific formats.
