Build parts control the generation process and set how
an application will function at run time. The kind of build part that
you need depends on the target platform of your application and the
type of application that you have created.
- Build descriptor part
- A build descriptor part controls the generation process and indicates
what other control parts are read during that process. Build descriptor
parts contain build descriptor options, which are described in the EGL
Generation Guide. The information in this part is used at generation
time, test time, and run time.
- Linkage options part
- A linkage options part gives details about how a generated service
calls programs and accesses files on remote CICS® regions. The information in this part is
used at generation time, test time, and run time.
- Resource associations part
- A resource associations part relates an EGL record with the information
that is needed to access a file on a particular target platform. The
information in this part is used at generation time, test time, and
run time.
- Deployment descriptors
- EGL deployment descriptors are not build parts, but they fit into
the category of files involved in generation and deployment. Deployment
descriptors contain information that describes either how a service
part from your application is exposed to other applications or how
an external service will be used in your application.
