Open Client and Open Server do not inherit SQL Server/Adaptive Server restrictions. This means that communication between Open Client applications and Open Server applications is not constrained by rules that govern Sybase server behavior.
Communication is constrained, however, by the implementation of the Open Server application. For example, an Open Server application developer may decide not to support remote procedure calls (RPCs) by not installing a SRV_RPC event handler. This is a constraint of which an Open Client application developer must be aware.
Open Client and Open Server are mirror images of each other. Open Server can receive anything that Open Client sends, and vice versa. Restrictions arise not only when implementation-specific limitations are imposed on an Open Server application, but when functionality available in Open Server is not enabled.
