Automated development system for developing applications that interface with both distributed component object model (DCOM) and enterprise server environments

摘要

An automated development system which allows developers to more easily incorporate functionality from enterprise-based On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) services within an application running on a DCOM-based platform. View files (which describe how parameters will be provided to and received from an OLTP service) are transferred from the enterprise OLTP system to a DCOM environment. These view files and an associated set of interactively supplied user parameters are provided as input to a function builder utility (DGateAce) which generates function files and Interface Definition Language files as output. These output files simplify the creation of DCOM Client and Server modules which enable a DCOM application to communicate directly with an enterprise OLTP service
