Using External Action Blocks › Importance of EAB

Importance of EAB

You will need to generate, complete, and install external action blocks (EABs) if the CA Gen generated application you are going to install will access any information or processes not generated by CA Gen. External action blocks must be completed and installed before the load modules that invoke them are installed.

For remote installation, external action block interface routines need to be generated on your workstation. The action block interface routines then need to be moved to your target system for completion and installation. For more information, see the Implementation Toolset Guide that applies to your specific target system such as the Windows Implementation Toolset User Guide, the UNIX and Linux Implementation Toolset User Guide and the NonStop Implementation Toolset User Guide.

Note: If there are no external action blocks in your application, bypass this chapter.
