CA' Application Development System (CA ADS) enables you, as an application developer, to develop and execute online applications that query and update a CA IDMS/DB database or VSAM file.
Development Tools
The CA ADS application development environment features menu-driven development tools that simplify and speed the definition of applications. Components developed by using CA ADS development tools are modular and can be reused in one or more applications.
Process Language
To enable an application to access the database, perform calculations, and perform other customized processing, you use the high-level process language provided by CA ADS. Easily recognizable commands (such as DISPLAY) greatly simplify many frequently performed operations. Modules written in this process language can be added to an application whenever processing is required.
CA ADS is fully integrated with CA' Application Development System/Batch (CA ADS Batch). Developers who use CA ADS Batch to define batch applications can use the same development tools used by CA ADS developers.
For more information on CA ADS Batch, see the CA ADS Batch User Guide.
Additionally, CA ADS applications can accommodate components developed by using the CA IDMS Automatic System Facility (ASF). Execution of CA ADS applications can be traced and debugged by using the CA IDMS online debugger or CA ADS Alive. Runtime performance and resource usage of an application can be tracked by using the CA IDMS Performance Monitor.
