OI Gateway is a collection of components that work in concert to provide communications access with a variety of data sources and clients. These components include:
-
OI Server Manager: This is the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, that is part of the ArchestrA System Management Console suite of utilities, supplied with OI Gateway. It provides the necessary user-interface for diagnostics, configuration, and activation.
-
Client Plug-ins: These are the components that are added to OI Gateway to enable communications with clients.
Examples are: OPC, DDE/Suitelink, and so on. -
OI Server Engine: This is the library that contains all the common logic to drive data access.
-
Device Protocol: This is the custom code provided by OI Gateway to define the communications between particular data sources and clients.
Note: The NetDDE protocol is not supported.
