Target Environment and Construction Paths › How to Set Construction Paths › Path Types

Path Types

When setting paths, you provide locations for objects created during generation. These locations are directories on the server and must reflect the naming conventions and restrictions in use for that platform. For example, path names on UNIX servers are case-sensitive.

When you specify paths, you must do so for each of these types of objects:

• Source code
• Installation control files
• Remote files (one remote file for each component, operations library, z/OS library, or proxy)
• Bitmaps (optional, for GUI applications only)

The generation procedure appends certain information to the path names depending on what is being generated. This helps to differentiate between different versions of the same application generated for more than one platform.

For load module, RI trigger source, and the installation control file, generation appends the name of the operating system and source code language. For DDL, generation appends the operating system and DBMS names (in that order).
