Servers
Check boxes
These boxes let you select the generation platforms for each logical server used in the program.
Win
Box checked |
The code for the logical server is generated in the corresponding server module on a Windows platform. |
Java
Box checked |
The code for the logical server is generated in the corresponding server module on a Java platform. |
400
Box checked |
The code for the logical server is generated in the corresponding server module on an AS/400 platform. |
Mob
Box checked |
The code for the logical server is generated in the corresponding server module on a Mobile platform. |
Loc
Box checked |
The code for the logical server is generated locally in the client part. There is therefore no corresponding server module. |
Note: The Win, Java,400 and Mob boxes can be checked simultaneously, but the Loc box is incompatible with the other seven boxes.
Dft
Box checked |
The Win, Java, 400, Mob and Loc box combination is as defined in the corresponding logical server definition box. |
Box unchecked |
It is possible to choose different combinations of the Win, Java, 400, Mob and Loc boxes for each server. |
Note: If the Win, Java, 400, Mob and Loc boxes are all unchecked, the Dft box is automatically checked again.
____
Check boxes
Submit
Box checked |
The Generate button submits the generation job for the program. |
This box is only enabled if the generation job is run from the 4GL Editor.
-
When the box is enabled (as it is by default), the value is shown in the Submit 3GL generation box in the Environment tab in the Editor Options dialog box.
When it is not enabled, it takes the value of the Submit box specified at program management level.
Automatic save and registration
This check box is only visible when the Java code is generated in order to produce a Web service.
Box checked |
The Web service is deployed on the reference Web site and is automatically registered in the Adelia environment. |
Box unchecked |
The Web service's classes are reconstituted in the reference Web site using the newly-generated sources. The Web service is not declared to the application server. The procedure that registers the Web service in the Adelia environment is not performed. This option provides a useful means of updating a Web service quickly, provided none of its interfaces have changed since it was last generated. |

Generate (validation)
Validates any changes and runs the requested generation job.
Cancel
