Integrating CA 2E with Existing Applications

CA 2E Track

Darryl Millington, HawkBridge Pty Ltd (Australia)

This session will provide an under the covers look at how HawkBridge have integrated their Freedom suite of products with the internal data model files. All of the Freedom tools have been developed using a common CA 2E data model where the internal database files of CA 2E have been imported so that new functions can be created over them using CA 2E itself. Catch a sneak preview of the Freedom/Pre-Compiler – which provides the changes to generated CA 2E source to enable the integration to be performed using existing CA 2E physical and logical files.

Introduction Using Keyed Physical Files Using Multi-Format Logical Files Invoking Freedom/Pre-Compiler Freedom/Pre-Compiler Commands Questions

Agenda

How can you use CA 2E to integrate non-CA 2E applications?– Especially where database is not “pure” CA 2E

Freedom tools do just that– CA 2E internal data model files are not “pure” CA 2E

Freedom tools use the existing CA 2E physical and logical files– Including keyed physicals and multi-format logical files– With no need for additional logical files to be created– Although additional CA 2E internal objects are required

Freedom/Pre-Compiler enables this– Automatically fine tunes generated CA 2E source

Introduction

Review and assess file and database relations– Draw a quick diagram of the files and relationships

CA 2E functions will use dummy access paths Determine if a new access path can be easily supported

– Object management may be of concern– Field names may be different if file was assimilated– No additional index is created as it will share the keyed physical index

If yes, generate and compile the new access path– Use the new access path in place of the keyed physical

If no, use pre-compile processing to override file– We will address this in a later section

Y2ABDAP is a keyed physical file in CA 2E

Using Keyed Physical Files

Review the file definitionYDOCF FILE(Y2ABDAP)

Note the keyed access and unique sequence information

Note the key fields

Check database relations for other database filesDSPDBR FILE(Y2ABDAP) and YDOCF FILE(Y2ABDAP0)

Existing PHY will not have key fields– Do not generate or use!

Functions need to be based on default UPD and RTV– Do not generate UPD and RTV– Adjust generated source to use correct

file, format and field names

Need a new RSQ– Select correct key order and sequence– Ignore Select/Omit– Do not generate RSQ– Adjust generated source to use correct

format and field names

Note the assigned DDS names for the fields which differ from the physical file format entries

Setup dummy access pathsZ=Edit File Details

Use the UPD and RTV as dummies for the physical file, and create a new RSQ dummy

for the logical file

Notice that UPD and RTV have new implementation names,

and RSQ uses the logical implementation name

Setup dummy access path key sequenceZ+Z=Edit Access Path Format Entries

Setup the correct key sequence for the logical file

Setup Pre-Compile Processing Directive

Insert call to EXCUSRSRC in any function based on associated

dummy ACP

Call the Pre-Compile Processing Program that will

adjust generated source

Create one EXCUSRSRC function for each dummy ACP that needs to be adapted for use within CA 2E functions

Freedom/Pre-Compiler command details

Review and assess file and database relations– Draw a quick diagram of the files and relationships

A separate access path is created for each format– CA 2E functions cannot process multi-format logical files

Apart from EDTTRN and DSPTRN functions

Determine if a new access path can be easily supported– If yes, generate and compile the RTV or RSQ access path– If no, use pre-compile processing to override file

YMSGACT01L is a multi-format logical file in CA 2E– Based on the same physical file

YOBJDTA01L is a multi-format logical file in CA 2E– Based on different physical files

Using Multi-Format Logical Files

Review the file definitionYDOCF FILE(YOBJDTA01L)

Note the key fields

Note the format name and based on file

Note the next and subsequent formats that will be ignored

Note the keyed access and unique sequence information

Check database relations for other database filesDSPDBR FILE(YOBJDTA01L) and YDOCF FILE(YMSGDTARFP)

Need a new RTV– Could use default RTV– Do not generate RTV

Functions need to be based on RTV– Adjust generated source to use correct

file, format and field names

Existing PHY, UPD and RTV are not required– Do not generate or use!
