Specify Environment Parameters and Paths

Before you generate an application, you must specify its target environment and paths. You can specify the environment parameters and paths by selecting Code, then Environment. You can select from a number of operating systems and DBMSs. You will receive error messages if you select incorrect combinations of environment parameters. The specific selections available on your workstation depend on the generation options purchased.

For all applications, the paths belong to a business system. For online, window, and batch applications, the environment parameters belong to a business system. For cooperative applications, you must set the environment for the window manager (client) and server manager (server) for each load module. For operations library and z/OS library, you must set the environment parameters for each one. Different business systems within the same model can have different environment parameters. RI triggers are model level objects whose environment and paths are stored locally (on the client machine). The environment parameters you set in the Construction Environment window are stored on the model and are saved as properties of the business system. You can override environment information on the Generation Defaults window.

Note: Both RI trigger modules and DDL are model-level objects not associated with any one business system. They share environment settings. If you change the environment for one, you change it for the other as well.

If you select the override options, you are changing the environment parameters for the DDL and RI triggers.
