Generate and Compile the BLDRAPPL Application

Takes you through the process of generating the completed BLDRAPPL application in AppMaster Builder, and automatically compiling it in Enterprise Developer.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

You set the generation options for the BLDRAPPL application when you defined the application in AppMaster Builder. BLDRAPPL is configured to put generated code into a specified Enterprise Developer project, where it is compiled automatically.

Generate and compile BLDRAPPL

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click BLDRAPPL, and then select Generate Application from the context menu.
  2. To watch generation processing, from the Eclipse menu, click Window > Show View > Console.

View generated code

  1. In Eclipse, open the COBOL perspective.
  2. In the COBOL Explorer view, expand the COB_BLDRAPPL project.
  3. Expand COBOL Programs, Copybooks, and BMS Source Files.
  4. Double-click an object in any of these folders to see the generated source code.
This completes the AppMaster Builder tutorial. From here, you can:
  • Debug the application from the COBOL perspective. See Debugging in Eclipse for more information.
  • Deploy and run the application on Enterprise Server. See Deploying COBOL Applications for more information.
  • Deploy the application to the mainframe.
