The RPC environment is managed on the RPC environment preference page. The RPC environments can be created, edited and removed. There are several types of RPC environment: Natural, PL/I and XML/SOAP. The RPC environment type will be used to prepare the selection lists of the following wizards:
Natural RPC Server
IDL Extractor for PL/I
XML/SOAP RPC Server
Use the RPC Environment Monitor to check the availablity of each RPC environment.
Using these wizards, you can add new RPC environments of the respective type. To manage these RPC environments, open the Preferences page.
To edit an existing RPC environment, select the table row and press . If multiple entries are selected, the first entry is used.

Choose the Type and enter the required fields: Broker ID, Server Address and a unique Environment Name, which will have the default format brokerID@serverAddress. The given Timeout value must be in the range from 1 to 9999 seconds (default: 60).
EntireX Authentication describes the settings for the broker, and RPC Server Authentication describes the settings for the RPC server.

The Wrapper Settings are used for Natural Wrapper only, and you can specify the operation type and target library name (not available for Save locally).
