Generating the proxy of a Folder or Folder View

The generation of a Folder or a Folder View produces a Java™ proxy that contains the classes required to manage the Folder or Folder view in a graphic application. The generation of a Folder can also generate COBOL code.

Procedure

You can generate a Folder or Folder View in two ways:
  • Enter an rpp –generate command line from a command prompt.
  • Right-click a Folder or Folder View in the Design Explorer view and select Generate > Proxy generation.

Results

A progress information message box is displayed until the generation is complete.

The generation produces a .txt file under the instance in the Design Explorer view. You must then insert this file into the graphic development tool of the Client.
Note: To know how to generate the COBOL code of a Folder, see Generating a Program, Screen, or Server.

The generation also produces the corresponding .txtpdp metadata file. This file can be viewed in the Package Explorer view. It must not be edited but must be assigned the same version number as the other generated files.
