Construction

Building CA Gen .NET Servers is very similar to building any other generated application. However, the construction of the generated application can only be performed with the CA Gen Build Tool running on a Windows system.

If the application was generated on the Windows workstation, the CA Gen Build Tool is invoked to build all generated cascade and load modules.

If the application was generated by a CSE, copy the remote files to a Windows system with the CA Gen Build Tool. Then start the Build Tool, select the directory where the remote files are located, and click Add Module. This will cause all remote files to be loaded into the CA Gen Build Tool's module panel. Next, select all cascade and load modules to be built and then click Build.

The results of the construction process are placed in the <model-directory>\c#\build directory. The following files can be found in the build directory:
