I am currently using a system that provides scanning ability to the floor production. Serial scanners are installed all over and connected to multiple computers. I am using distributed architecture: monitoring applications are running on central computers and programs that support scanning are running on remote boxes. The communincations between client and server is based on DCOM. Monitoring application when starts also starts server applications on remote boxes. I am thinking to rewrite that system into Flex. Since Flex application is the Web based how my central program will remotely start programs on other boxes? That is needed because a supervisor cannot walk around the floor every time he need to restart the system. He restart his application and that restarts remote programs as well. Hope that is clear enough.
Thanks for help.
