RpcServerUseProtseq  8Y2XJ_

The RpcServerUseProtseq function tells the RPC run-time library to use the specified protocol sequence for receiving remote procedure calls.

This function is supported by both 32-bit platforms   Windows NT and Windows 95.

For a list of Microsoft RPC s supported protocol sequences, see the reference topic String Binding1CPK9NH in RPC Data Types and Structures.

#include <rpc.h>

RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY RpcServerUseProtseq(

    unsigned char *  ProtSeq,

 

    unsigned int  MaxCalls,

 

    void *  SecurityDescriptor

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

ProtSeq

Points to a string identifier of the protocol sequence to register with the RPC run-time library.

MaxCalls

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent remote procedure call requests the server wants to handle.

The RPC run-time library guarantees that the server can accept at least this number of concurrent call requests. The actual number can be greater, depending on the selected protocol sequence.

Use RPC_C_PROTSEQ_MAX_REQS_DEFAULT to specify the default value.

SecurityDescriptor

Points to an optional parameter provided for the Microsoft Windows NT security subsystem. Note that this parameter does not appear in the DCE specification for this API.

 

Remarks

A server application calls the RpcServerUseProtseq routine to register one protocol sequence with the RPC run-time library. To receive remote procedure call requests, a server must register at least one protocol sequence with the RPC run-time library. A server application can call RpcServerUseProtseq multiple times to register additional protocol sequences.

For each protocol sequence registered by a server, the RPC run-time library creates one or more binding handles through which the server receives remote procedure call requests. The RPC run-time library creates different binding handles for each protocol sequence. Each binding handle contains an endpoint dynamically generated by the RPC run-time library.

The MaxCalls argument allows the server to specify the maximum number of concurrent remote procedure call requests the server wants to handle.

See Server Application RPC API Calls.7VGRF for a description of the routines that a server will typically call after registering protocol sequences.

To register all protocol sequences, a server calls the RpcServerUseAllProtseqs routine.
