  • Automated development system for developing applications that interface with both distributed component object model (DCOM) and enterprise server environments
    Patent number: 6324681
    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.
