Load Module Packaging

In our model, we have documented the requirements and the detailed design for an application. So far all we have is the model. However, from this model, we are going to generate a lot of source code. And from this source code we are going to compile and link it into some form of an executable (dll, lib, exe) program. We need to specify to the Toolset how we want all this done. This is called Load Module Packaging.

The kinds of things we need to specify are:

For testing our application, we are going to initially generate everything and compile it into one load module (executable), and test it all locally in a Windows environment. However, for deploying to the web, we will need to repackage the application into a client load module and a server load module. Client and Server packaging is known as Cooperative packaging. Other types of packaging include Online, Batch, and Component packaging.
