RE: what is meant by transparency of location servers?...

Distributed Computing Environment provides a comprehensive foundation that allows applications and data to be distributed transparently across networks systems and organizations so that operating in the network omputing environment is almost as simple as working on a single system.

The DCE framework extends several benefits to distributed computing. One of which is :

Transparency
The network is perceived as a single system not a collection of independent
components. This characteristic is referred to as transparency. There are two distinct kinds of transparency

- Application transparency

- Location transparency:

Application transparency : Client/server applications can access local and remote services and data in an identical manner.

Location transparency : Users and client/server applications can access resources by referring to their logical names without knowing their location. DCE directory services provide dynamic server identification and location within the network. Resources can be moved or reconfigured as required without affecting programs or the people who use those resources.
