Abstract
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
