Workstation Construction Process

During the workstation construction process, your CA Gen model is transformed into the components of an executable application (code and database definitions). These components are then prepared for execution on the workstation, or they are gathered into groups for transfer to the system where it will execute.

During the Construction process, you build and install a database from your transformed data model. You also translate the logic in your action diagrams, screen or window definitions, and dialog flow diagram into the executable code for an application.

Your CA Gen model is complete and consistent at the beginning of construction. During Construction, ensure that the application you generate will work properly in your selected environment. To do this, specify:

Then select the portion of your application to generate. A complete application includes a database, referential integrity trigger modules, load modules (groupings of procedure steps), operations libraries (if the generated application will be a component), and, optionally, external action blocks. The application components can then be:
