The AppMaster Builder Tool Set

The basic AppMaster Builder tool set is:

AppMaster Builder Perspective

This Eclipse perspective provides access to:

Project Explorer

Add and create projects and project objects, which are the components of a working application such as programs, screens or report mock-ups, and data structures, and define the relationships from one object to another. Other tools in the AppMaster Builder tool set are available from here.

Data View Explorer

Add, edit, import, and generate IMS, SQL, and VSAM data views.

Team Developer Perspective (Technology Preview)

Provides access to the same functionality as the Project Explorer in the AppMaster Builder perspective plus access to the AMB Endevor Interface.

Screen Painter

Paint character-based screens to access from your application programs.

Online Express

Define logic for your programs by assigning predefined actions to your screen components, mapping data between your screens and databases, defining and qualifying database calls, and adding your own program actions to support specialized requirements.

Program Painter

The Program Painter is a specialized editor in which you can create batch programs, online programs, user rules, and program stubs, using COBOL, S-COBOL, and high-level AMB constructs such as database calls, user interface calls, and Report Writer constructs.

Report Painter

A specialized editor that enables you to create report mock-ups.

Data Structure Editor

Define data structures that you can reuse in your applications.

Customizer/Micro Focus Generator (MFG)

The Customizer enables you to define User Rules that are generated into COBOL code using the Micro Focus Generator (MFG) preprocessor.

Report Generators

Produces a variety of application reports to help you understand how the application works.

Analysis Option

Analyze your code for better understanding of how each project object interrelates with others.

AMB Endevor Interface (Technology Preview)

Enables you to share and synchronize resources between an AMB project and mainframe Endevor datasets.
