Activities to Perform

To build an executable prototype, the developer needs to provide load modules for the runtime system by performing the following activities:

  1. Compiling the application — The application and its components (the functions and responses) are defined and compiled with ADSA.
  2. Compiling the maps — Each map is formatted, defined, and compiled with the online mapping facility.
  3. Compiling the dialogs — Each dialog is identified, associated with the appropriate map, and compiled with ADSC.

The prototype can be executed when the application, map, and dialog load modules are available for use by the CA ADS runtime system. At this point, the developer has a meaningful version of the prototype that can be presented for user review and modification.

Each of the activities for building the basic prototype is discussed separately below, followed by user review considerations.
