What are the steps to configure DCOM in order to start and run MATLAB as a server on a remote machine?

I am trying to develop an application which requires the use of Matlab on another computer. I want to use DCOM programming for this.

In order to use DCOM, you must have MATLAB installed on both the client and server computers as discussed in:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2018a/matlab/matlab_external/using-matlab-application-as-a-dcom-server.html

To configure DCOM, you will need to use the dcomcnfg.exe tool. You can find specifc information on configuring programs to use DCOM by doing a search for "DCOM" in the index page on MS Windows help. You can also consult information provided in the "Related Topics" section.

MATLAB: How to make a DCOM Server instance of MATLAB visible

DCOM allows programs executing as the Interactive User to display graphics. To make MATLAB visible on the remote Machine 2, you can configure MATLAB to execute as the Interactive User as follows:

1. On Machine 2, start the DCOM Configuration utility by selecting "Start->Control Panels->Administrative Services->Component Services".

2. Select "Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config".

3. Right-click the appropriate "Matlab.Application" line and select "Properties". For MATLAB 7.0 (R14) to MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b), select "Matlab.Application (Version 7.0)".

4. Click the "Identity" tab and select "Interactive User". Click "OK".

Now you can start MATLAB from a local MATLAB session, and make it visible:

h = activexserver('matlab.application','machine2')
h.Visible = 1
h.Execute('plot(1:10)')
