A description of the RPC Plugin and its functionality.
An RPC plugin is a compiled .dll file (on Microsoft Windows) or .so file (on UNIX-like operating systems). This type of library can be called by Sybase CEP Server, and is able to communicate with an RPC server. The plugin receives information (such as the body of an email message, a stock symbol, or an employee ID number) from a CCL statement and passes the information to the remote procedure, as well as receives information from the remote procedure (when appropriate) and makes it available to the CCL statement.
Sybase CEP Engine includes example HTTP and SOAP RPC plugins. You can also create your own plugins. For more information about RPC plugins, see the Sybase CEP Integration Guide .
