Introduction › NonStop Implementation Toolset

NonStop Implementation Toolset

The Implementation Toolset (IT) is a collection of tools that lets you build and run NonStop SQL/MP and SQL/MX applications that CA generates. SQL/MP applications are run under the Guardian operating system environment and SQL/MX applications are run under the OSS (Open System Services) operating system environment. Both types of applications are executed using the Pathway TP monitor.

The CA Gen tools do not call out the different operating systems when setting the target environments but instead differentiate the environments by what database (SQL/MP or SQL/MX) is chosen.

Notes: In this document:

• The term SQL/MP refers to the operating system environment is Guardian.
• The term SQL/MX refers to the operating system environment is OSS

The tools that comprise the IT are:

• Application Execution Facility (AEF)
• Setup Tool (for building SQL/MP applications)
• Build Tool (for building SQL/MX applications)
• CA Gen Runtime for SQL/MP applications
• CA Gen Runtime for SQL/MX applications
• CA Gen User Exits

Each component of the IT is installed on the target system. CA Gen interfaces with the NonStop operating system for information like name of the terminal, names of Pathway environment components, and the location of CA Gen components. The following illustration shows this relationship:

Note: Users must have the knowledge to configure the development platform to implement generated applications. Users must be familiar with Pathway, SQL/MP, SQL/MX, RSC/MP, and other technologies available on NonStop.
