Abstract
An Object Procedure Messaging, or OPM, facility in the form of an internal and external Remote Procedure Call, or RPC, facility uses client and server stubs to transfer messages on both local and remote platforms to reduce multiple calls when a local server object is not available when first called by a local client object. A local memory queue is used to store the message calls for local objects so that the client and server stubs shield the client and server objects from the details of communications therebetween for both local and remote message calls.
