6.6 Generated files
The configuration generator config analyzes a description file and generates from it
resource files and configuration scripts for the runtime environment of the distributed sys-
tem. Some of the generated files are host-specific and some are application-specific.
config creates a directory tree in the current directory. The basic structure of this tree is
illustrated in Figure 2 below.
There is a subdirectory for each host under the root system. Each of these host subdirec-
tories bears as its name the descriptive name from the HOST statement. All of these sub-
directories also have their own subdirectories bearing the names of the applications which
are to run on the respective hosts. No directory will be created for a host marked with the
RESERVE flag. In the same way no directory will be created for a TA_APPLICATION labeled
with the RESERVE flag.
Figure 2 Model of the directory structure as created by config
Most of the files created by config are incorporated directly into the runtime environment
of the distributed application. In addition, config generates a script for each T-ORB appli-
cation which calls the configuration tools of the underlying transaction monitor and in the
process creates files which are needed to develop or run the distributed system.
The script is generated in accordance with the operating system of the host on which the
relevant T-ORB application is to run and must be executed under this operating system.
– A C shell script with the file name kdcdf is generated for a UNIX host, i.e. the shell
/bin/csh must exist on the relevant host.
– A batch processing file kdcdf.bat is generated for the WindowsNT operating system.
– An SDF command procedure KDCDF is generated for BS2000/OSD.
