Before you can test a complete application, you must use the Installation Tool to install the application database, RI trigger logic, and all load modules that are part of the application. The Application Test Facility, in conjunction with the Application Execution Facility (IEFAE), is used to test a CA Gen generated application before the application is moved to the production environment.
If you want to make changes to the application, you must change the CA Gen model used to generate the application, not the generated code. This applies whether the change is made to correct a problem or enhance the application.
After changing the model, regenerate the changed portion of your application on your code generation platform.
If your changes do not update the load module definition, you can elect to regenerate only the necessary load module components instead of the complete load module. Then move the regenerated components to your target system, overlay the old versions of the components with the new ones, and reinstall the load module using the Install Load Module menu option in the Installation Tool. This saves the time and resources required to register and split a remote file whose definition has not changed.
If you changed the Load Module definition or changed most of the components in a Load Module, you can elect to generate an entirely new remote file. Move the resulting remote file to your target system. You can then register the new remote file, build, and implement the application again.
Making changes to the code on your target system is not recommended under any circumstances. This practice results in a model different from the generated code, and the process of making further changes becomes unmanageable. If you change the generated code, many of the benefits of the Information Engineering process are lost.
