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.
Developer productivity can be boosted even more by exploiting the standard functions of VisualAge Generator Templates.
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 or intranets. Using the server interface definition as input, Java support automatically generates JavaBean classes that wrap calls to server transactions. The developer can then use tools like VisualAge Java, Lotus (R) BeanMachine, or any vendors' 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 NT, OS/2, AIX, OS/400 (R), HP-UX, VM, VSE, or MVS (TM). VisualAge Generator supports middleware for CICS, IMS/TM, TCP/IP, DCE, APPC (LU6.2), LU2, Client Access/400 (TM), named pipes, and support for MQSeries (R), 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 allows for complete interoperability with VisualAge Smalltalk, including enabling the use of GUI webparts 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, 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.
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.
The Interactive Test Facility includes a test coverage tool, which monitors which code paths of the application have been executed. This helps developers to evaluate the completeness of their testing.
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. The Interactive Test Facility can be called from non-VisualAge Generator clients such as Java or VisualBasic, providing a single-system test environment across development tools.
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.
Library Management
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 (TM), which provides such functions as smart builds versioning of all enterprise software assets.
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 supports 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, give customers enterprise scalability, and ease of generation to multiple target platforms.
Enabling New Applications
VisualAge Generator offers significant benefits for the development of mission-critical software solutions.
- Competitive advantage
With VisualAge Generator, application solutions can be developed quickly, allowing faster response to business needs in a dynamic business environment.
Using VisualAge Generator Templates, standard functions, significantly enhances developer productivity by relying on a model-driven approach that industrializes the development process. High-performing and fully-operational, n-tier client/server application systems based on a business information model are generated without time-consuming coding tasks. Standard functions such as error handling, database access, and navigation management are automatically generated, letting developers concentrate on business related issues rather than technical implementation details that require hand-crafted code. Maintenance of applications can be performed at the model level, significantly facilitating maintenance and component management tasks. Modifications that have been hand-coded in the VisualAge Generator environment are not lost or over-written if an application needs to be re-generated from VisualAge Generator Templates. The model-driven development approach elevates programming and maintenance tasks to a high abstraction level. The result is application solutions that are delivered faster, are of higher quality and that are easier to maintain.
VisualAge Generator Templates standard functions are delivered with VisualAge Generator Developer. For organizations who want to customize the template generators, they should also purchase VisualAge Generator Templates V3.1 (Customization), part number 04L9035. The customization capability allows for extension of the information model to ensure the implementation of your company's standards and guarantee full reusability in the regeneration process. This enables you to maintain your applications at the model level. The customization capability also allows you to quickly and easily create generators from existing VisualAge Generator applications. Customers can generalize their corporate standards by reverse engineering existing applications or new prototypes.
VisualAge Generator application solutions can be ported to a variety of platforms or reconfigured into client/server applications with consistent GUI and client/server communications support, based on special business needs and opportunities.
- New applications
New VisualAge Generator application solutions can build on existing application components to deliver new solutions faster.
- Integration of business solutions
VisualAge Generator applications and existing third-generation language (3GL) code can be reconfigured into various client/server business solutions as business needs and strategies change.
