Compatibility between RLM and DCE

ITEM: RTA000077737



My customer is looking for using DFS (included in OSF/DCE) on RS6K              
that use CATIA to share CATIA models on the network.                            
Licenses of CATIA are managed by RLM that use NCS. When reading                 
the AIX DCE Overview, it seems that it is not possible to run                   
the llbd daemon (location broker of NCS) and DCE on the same machine.           
                                                                                
So I wonder if RLM can run properly on a DFS client.                            
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
                                                                                
The rpcd daemon of DCE will run in place of the NCS llbd daemon.  It will       
perform all of the operations that the llbd normally did.  It can be            
administered by lb_admin from NCS for any NCS applications.  The NCS            
registrations will not be seen by the DCE rpccp command, and the                
NCS lb_admin command cannot see the DCE registrations.  It basically           
maintains 2 separate databases.
