Abstract

A distributed applications architecture performs an information distribution service between multiple transaction processing systems by working with a transaction processor via communication channels to other hosts within the network and a dialog manager which uses a transaction processor interface to communicate with the transaction processor. The architecture employs a map service which provides an editor to create the maps for the application panels, a compiler to generate the maps into a linkable form, and a linkable interpreter which translates the linkable form into the screen presentation format for that platform. To distribute an application, the source codes for the procedures, view and panels are moved as a block to the new system. Once the application source code is complete, all application logic, user interface control tables, view definitions, and other application-specific tables for one transaction are packaged in a single load module on the system where the application will reside. The load module is then compiled using the target system's compiler, link editor, and bind process.
