2.2.3 Multi-channel Engine (MCE)
The Multi-channel Engine (MCE) in CCF 2009 provides a common engine that allows UI processes to
share common logic and metadata on different delivery channels. The MCE provides two major
functionalities:
1) Separation between channel independent and channel dependent development. The channel
independent components include all the logical aspect of User Interface, the navigational
control logic, the logical information/data views and event handling. The channel dependent UI
provides the actual navigational controls and visual representation of the information.

provides the actual navigational controls and visual representation of the information.
The front-end multi-channel engine improves the consistency of the navigational logic amongst
different delivery channels, increasing the productivity of the cross channels UI design. The
standardization and reuse of the navigational logic will allow the developer of a particular
channel UI to mainly focus on the particular physical layout and specific navigation of the
channel.

2) The ability to persist an UI process state and to move it between channels. This represent a
significant improvement in the user experience because it allows the interrupted acquisition of
data without have the need for the user to start the process again all the times. It also enables
the resuming of sessions across different delivery channel seamlessly!

2.2.4 DCS Service Agent
The DCS Service Agent Application Block is a client component that uses the DCS discovery service to
identify the target services endpoints and performs metadata exchange to determine service policies. It
dynamically builds the send-pipeline as requested by service policies, including the standard DCS ones:
encoding, security, client caching, logging and context transportation.
2.3 CCF Management Solutions
The CCF management solution consists of three components – CCF Admin Console, DCS Admin Console
and CCF Management Pack for System Centre.
The CCF Admin Console allows an administrator to centrally configure all aspects of the Integrated
Desktop running in an enterprise environment. The Console allows management of client configuration
and runtime update to all clients and also allows federation of different components of the integrated
desktop.
The DCS Admin Console allows administrators to control all aspects of service based communication
and DCS business logic. It enables to deploy services and tasks, add and edit Task Factory filters, change
Discovery configured instances and policy on each instance.
The CCF Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager provides monitoring of
business processes and infrastructure services through Microsoft Operations Manager 2007™. This pack
also allows centralized management of CCF infrastructure components through Microsoft’s System
Center suite.
