Building a Database › Results of Database Build

Results of Database Build

Because of the database build or installation process, CA Gen creates a sub-directory named DDL subordinate to the directory that contains the model. For example, a model named ORDRENT is contained in the ORDRENT.IEF directory. The associated database components generated by CA Gen are therefore stored in the DDL sub-directory under ORDRENT.IEF.

The list of various files that result when a database is built is as follows:

Note: Each file uses the database name as the filename.

• CTL

  Contain information used by CA Gen when creating a remote file. Occurs for remote installation only

• DDL

  Contains SQL statements without the installation information (such as the BIND statements).

• ERR

  Contains messages resulting from a failed generation.

• GEN

  Contains data used by the DDL generator.

• ICM

  Contains install deck information. The install deck is a set of instructions on how to install all procedure steps, screens, and action blocks for the load module. The install deck is in Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) format. This format lets you write your own installation procedure from the file should you have a particular installation requirement.

• INS

  ContainsSQL statements including the installation information (such as the BIND statements and CREATE TABLE RPROFX statement).

• OUT

  Contains a log of the activities that occurred during installation. This log, called a review file, can be viewed with a text editor or from the Build Tool with the Review option.

• RMT

  Occurs for remote installation only. If you selected generation for remote installation, the .RMT file is the remote file.

• TXT

  Contains information used by CA Gen when creating a remote file. Occurs for remote installation only.

• TGT

  Builds tool set-up file per module.

• CMD, BAT

  Installs batch command files.
