Build Tool

The Build Tool is a Java-based application that allows you to build applications generated by a CA Gen development environment targeted for Nonstop OSS.

CA Gen Runtime

The CA Gen Runtime is a set of libraries called by the generated application to provide all the supporting functionality needed by the generated code. Support includes, but is not limited to, date and time functions, string manipulation, dialog manager functions, screen I/O, screen formatting, field validation, 3270 data stream support, and so on.

Separate libraries are included to support block mode and distributed processing. Additionally, the runtime provides an interface between the generated code and the AEF. There is a set of libraries delivered to run on NonStop SQL/MP applications, and another set delivered to run on NonStop SQL/MX applications.

CA Gen User Exits

CA Gen user exits are separate, reusable code modules that are used to perform functions such as screen formatting and message switching. These user exits are part of the CA Gen runtime.

Audience

This guide is intended for CA Gen developers who use the Implementation Toolset on NonStop to build and install CA Gen generated applications.

Users should 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.
