Encyclopedia Construction Client

Custom only

A Client Server Encyclopedia client that interacts with an Encyclopedia Construction Server and transforms a model stored in an encyclopedia into a complete set of source code for an application. The source code is collected in remote files, that are later transported to the target system where the source code is compiled, linked, and tested using the Build Tool.

Encyclopedia Version Control Kit

Custom only

A Client Server Encyclopedia client that creates versions of objects and supports migrating them across models stored in an Encyclopedia Server.

Encyclopedia Administration Kit

Custom only

Client Server Encyclopedia clients that perform encyclopedia and user access administration and administration tasks, including tuning and diagnostics of an Encyclopedia Server. This option installs the Coordination Client and the Support Client.
