Proxy Validation and Generation Rules
Proxy generation takes the proxy definition and performs the following operations to generate the requested proxy:
- Proxy Validation
The proxy definition is reconciled against the actual r-code on the system because the r-code can change independently of the saved proxy definition. This process throws away obsolete information and picks up new information while preserving customizations that are still valid with regard to these changes. This process generates an activity log (
.log
) file that records any significant validation events. This file is created in the proxy directory specified in the generation preferences.- Proxy Generation
Once the proxy definition is validated and updated as appropriate, the proxy can be generated. A separate proxy is created for Java and ActiveX clients. The proxy for the Java client produces a set of
.java
and.class
files. The proxy for the ActiveX client produces a.dll
that defines the specified Automation objects, including the Type Library information for the proxy. In both cases, the activity log records any significant generation events and errors.
