With the WSRM Protocol, it is possible for one WSRM server, acting as an accounting client, to log accounting data on another WSRM server, acting as the accounting server. The accounting client dumps the accounting data to the database by calling the WSRM management service on the accounting server.

Methods in the IWRMAccounting Interface can be called by the WSRM management service to manage remote accounting as follows:

  • RegisterAccountingClient can register the remote server as an accounting client when accounting is enabled for the first time.

  • DumpAccountingData can pass accounting data from a remote server acting as an accounting client to the current accounting server.

  • CheckAccountingConnection can check the connection to the accounting server.

  • SetClientPermissions can add or remove an accounting client from the DCOM users group on the accounting server.

Note Remote accounting is not supported in a workgroup environment.
