Testing Host Encyclopedia Construction › Introduction

Introduction

Host Encyclopedia Construction is an optional CA Gen tool that generates the executable components of a block-mode system that targets z/OS. It also generates remote and local server procedures, and includes all programs, job control statements, screen formats, and transaction definitions.

This chapter describes how to use a small test model to verify that the Host Encyclopedia Construction installed correctly, before you make the tool available to users. You can use the CA GEN SAMPLE MODEL to test.

When DB2 is the target DBMS, execute the following tasks to test the Host Encyclopedia Construction:

• Verify the Runtime Profile (RPROF) table for DB2
• Select a test model
• Allocate construction libraries
• Verify target environment parameters
• Specify construction libraries
• Generate DB2 objects
• Set generation options
• Specify collection name and package bind defaults if using DB2 Package Bind
• Generate RI trigger modules
• Review load module packaging
• Generate and install load modules
• Test the DB2 application
