Overview and Getting Started With ProxyGen

ProxyGen comes installed in two versions, a GUI tool that runs on Windows platforms and a batch version that runs on either Windows or UNIX. You must use the GUI version to define a proxy that accesses AppServer 4GL procedures. You can use either the GUI or batch version of ProxyGen to generate the actual proxy.

Thus, the basic tasks that you can complete with GUI ProxyGen include:

  1. Defining and editing a proxy
  2. Specifying proxy generation options
  3. Saving the proxy definition in a project file
  4. Validating and generating the proxy

You can only use Batch ProxyGen to complete the fourth task, validating and generating the proxy.

NOTE: While this chapter provides basic guidance on how to use the ProxyGen tool, see the online help for complete information on each ProxyGen window. Also, for information on additional options for starting ProxyGen, see the "Using GUI and Batch ProxyGen Execution Options" section.
