This appendix contains a list of implementation differences between DCOM for OpenVMS and Microsoft DCOM as well as a list of APIs and interfaces provided in this field test release of DCOM for OpenVMS.

C.1 Differences between DCOM for OpenVMS and Microsoft DCOM

There is no Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) on OpenVMS
.

OpenVMS does not provide a Service Control Manager like Windows NT. As a result, applications that depend on Server services (such as Stop, Start, Pause, and Resume) rely on the OpenVMS features that provide similar functionality (if the features are available).

For example, you would use the OpenVMS site-specific startup and shutdown command procedures to implement automatic starting of services at system startup and automatic shutdown of services at system shutdown. Service APIs such as RegisterServiceCtrlHandler, ChangeServiceConfig, and so on are not provided on OpenVMS.

C.2 APIs

APIs that require security support are not supported in FT2.

The APIs supported in this release are as follows:
