DESCRIPTION
VisualAge Generator enables developers to be more productive, offers
improved quality of application solutions, and simplifies the
development of complex application interfaces for GUI, transactional
systems, Distributed Relational Database Architecture (TM) (DRDA
(R)), and client/server communications.
VisualAge Generator provides support for Java clients and JavaBean
creation offering best-of-breed development for clients and
enterprise exploitation. VisualAge Generator enterprise exploitation
gives you tactical ways today to extend Web enablement to existing
legacy systems and gives you strategic ways to build enterprise
scalable solutions. VisualAge Generator facilitates creation of new
host transactions with Java client access. Visual development lets
you ease into object technology by using the VisualAge "construction
from parts" paradigm.
Java and Web Exploitation
VisualAge Generator provides electronic business content management
by supporting Java clients, Web browsers, and access to data such as
DB2, IMS, VSAM, and non-IBM relational databases. Java support
allows VisualAge Generator server programs to be accessed from the
Internet. Using the server interface definition as input, Java
support automatically generates JavaBean classes that wraps calls to
server transactions. The developer can then use applet authoring
tools like Lotus (R) BeanMachine, VA for Smalltalk AppletAuthor,
VisualAge for Java or any vendor's Java builder (supporting JDK 1.1)
to build applets that invoke the server transactions via the wrapper
classes.
The wrapper classes handle all aspects of communicating with the
enterprise server, including marshalling data from objects to server
record and database structures, converting data between Java and host
formats, and controlling commit/rollback for extended units of work
for multiple server calls within a transaction. As an example, the
client could be VisualAge for Java, and the servers could be in an
N-Tier environment using Windows NT, OS/2, AIX (R), OS/400 (R),
HP-UX, VM, VSE, or MVS (R). VisualAge Generator supports middleware
for CICS, IMS/TM, TCP/IP, DCE, APPC (LU6.2), LU2, Client Access
(TM)/400, named pipes, and support for MQSeries (TM), which
simplifies the delivery of complex network solutions.
VisualAge Generator offers versatile solutions with scalable,
multiplatform exploitation across networked systems. Programmers use
VisualAge Generator to build N-Tier, networked solutions supporting
mainframe, mid-size, UNIX (R), and LAN servers. Complex
client/server solutions are built using Intelligent Dynamic
Application Partitioning to improve the performance of the final
multitier solution.
With the CICS Internet Gateway, you can access VisualAge Generator
CICS Text User Interface (TUI -- 3270) applications on the Internet
or intranet with no application changes. CIG converts the TUI to
HTML format, which allows your host systems to be transformed and
accessible via any Web browser.
VisualAge Generator Version 3 allows for complete interoperability
with VisualAge Smalltalk, which enables the use of GUI Web parts to
build Web pages using a visual construction from parts paradigm.
Visual and non-visual parts that are available with VisualAge for
Smalltalk can be used in VisualAge Generator GUI clients, including
Web access parts (separately priced feature), Lotus Notes (R) parts,
report parts, and a catalog of third-party parts, available through
the Object Connection (TM) program.
VisualAge Generator provides collaboration support through its
extensive support of data systems and communications middleware.
Through its ability to use MQSeries and interoperate with Lotus Notes
applications using workflow scenarios tied to application development
solutions, business solutions involving workflow and N-tier
client/server solutions are easily deployed.
Intelligent Dynamic Application Partitioning
Intelligent Dynamic Application Partitioning is a feature of the
already powerful VisualAge Generator Interactive Test Facility, which
allows developers to visualize, during a simulated execution, the
optimal distribution of the programs on the different machines to
minimize the network traffic and the number of calls between clients
and servers in the system. This should result in improved
performance of the generated multitier, enterprise client/server
solution.
Interactive Testing and Iterative Development
The interactive test facility enables full testing of one-, two-, and
N-tier client/server systems. Without having the final system
deployed, the multitier solution can be entirely tested on the
workstation.
VisualAge Generator features a truly integrated application
definition and interactive test facility. The two facilities
complement each other by sharing information. The VisualAge
Generator fourth-generation language (4GL) definition facility
contains a context-sensitive editor for validating 4GL statements,
which immediately improves the quality of code. As a 4GL, VisualAge
Generator significantly reduces the number of statements required for
coding line-of-business applications using GUI and client/server
communications across environments. VisualAge Generator's 4GL allows
for structured programming with reusable building blocks.
With VisualAge Generator, developers can test an application
interactively without having to generate, compile, and link-edit the
application for verification. In addition, feedback received during
definition and test for error correction enables problems to be
resolved faster.
By providing single-system definition and test for stand-alone and
client/server applications, VisualAge Generator provides significant
productivity gains over other client/server development tools.
Developers can define an application system where the business logic
is divided between multitier client and server programs.
VisualAge Generator Developer uses the ENVY library system to manage
source parts. ENVY provides a rich development environment to
facilitate team development, including version control and
configuration management. Program source can also be moved between
ENVY and VisualAge TeamConnection, which provides such functions as
versioning all enterprise software assets and smart builds.
Platform and Middleware Support
By giving you access to both legacy and new databases, VisualAge
Generator is both a bridge to the past and an easy way to take
advantage of new database technologies. VisualAge Generator provides
a simple middleware interface to hide the complexities of database
access and speed development. VisualAge Generator offers database
middleware that seamlessly supports IMS, DL/1, VSAM, non-IBM
relational databases, and the DB2 family. VisualAge Generator
supports telecommunications middleware for CICS, IMS/TM, TCP/IP,
APPC(LU6.2), CA/400, LU2, named pipes, DCE, and MQSeries. This
support lets you change the topology without changing the actual
coding while supporting high transaction volumes.
Because of the extensive middleware and platform support,
environmental changes are minimized. Applications can be developed
once and then deployed on different platforms, using different
databases and different communications protocols with a minimum of
disruption. This flexibility allows programmers to focus on the
business problems of the organization and not on low-level technical
interfaces.
Server environments including Windows NT, OS/2, OS/400, AIX, HP-UX,
VM, VSE, and MVS giving VisualAge Generator enterprise scalability,
and ease of generation to multiple target platforms. Moving your
development work to workstations provides offloading of testing and
development to either Windows NT or OS/2, thus saving money on host
resources.
What was formerly VisualAge Generator V2.2 Workgroup Services for
Single-user has been incorporated into the VisualAge Generator
Developer V3.0.
