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. These output files simplify the creation of DCOM Client and Server modules which enable a DCOM application to communicate directly with an enterprise OLTP service

Automated development system for developing applications that interface with both distributed component object model (DCOM) and enterprise server environments

Apparatus and method for the automatic generation of code which will enable a user-developed client application to initiate and participate in a transaction across multiple hardware platforms. In a preferred embodiment, one of the platforms is an enterprise OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing) system, and another one of the platforms executes within the Microsoft &reg; Transaction Server (MTS).

Development system for automatically enabling a server application to execute with an XATMI-compliant transaction manager managing transactions within multiple environments
