Abstract
An interprocess data transfer facility provides transfer of data between two processes. Work requests are represented by notes that are placed on a queue of a server process for performing the work. The requestor process which created a work request does not transfer the work request from storage it controls until requested by the server. The actual transfer of the work request occurs without interaction of the requestor. The use of notes which represent the work requests permits complex queueing of notes and hence handling of the requests in the order desired by the server.
