Various data transfer operation modes are possible in communication between PPM front-end and PPM client server:
When you start a PPM client server, the RMI SocketFactory specifies the type of data transfer between the PPM server and client. A line of the form "... The server has been started using SocketFactory <name of the factory>." is displayed in the log after booting the server, which notifies you of the type of RMI data transfer used.
These operation modes are described in the following chapters in more detail.
For data transfer settings please see chapter RMI server.
