Install Third-Party Products

Third-party products such as the JRE, compilers, databases, middleware, and third-party ActiveX or Web Controls must be installed before a build can occur. This includes both the machine where the Build Tool is installed and any target machines where you want to install the application. The only exception is the compiler, which is not required on the target execution machine.

For the complete list of required software, see the CA Gen Technical Requirements document in http://ca.com/support.

You can customize the database, compiler, and middleware settings that are used by the Build Tool by setting tokens in your user profile. For more information about tokens, see “Profile Tokens.”
