Gen APIs
The Gen encyclopedia has a C API as we know, and it has an automation component which runs (only against locally downloaded models).
I said in this post last year that it would be a great idea if there was a Java API for the encyclopedia.
Of course, I didn’t think about the other obvious candidate – a .NET API
It seems that someone in QAT has had sort of the same ideas, since in their new blog – specifically this post, they talk about generating (presumably for internal use) a .NET wrapper for the C API.
The article is the first of a series (hence the “….Part 1″ in the title) which I’ll be watching out for.

New CA/Jumar webcast: Reduce Time & Cost of Upgrading and Modernising CA Gen with Automated Model Analysis
This webcast takes place on 19th Feb 2009 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EST for approximately 1 hour
“Learn how Jumar’s Project Phoenix tools can help you upgrade and modernise your CA Gen applications with a high degree of automation – starting with the critical first step of any modernisation project, model and portfolio analysis. This upfront automated analysis provides a context for the project, delivers metrics for planning and estimation and highlights key issues and areas of complexity.
This web seminar will introduce the Model Analyser tool for CA Gen model and portfolio analysis and demonstrates its value in preparing for all your CA Gen projects such as modernisation, upgrades and new enhancements.”
Agenda:
- Model and Portfolio Analysis – Why?
- Understanding the Starting Point
- Using Model Analyser for Planning and Estimation
- Model Analyser Extensions for Different Project Types and Modernisation Styles
- Architecture Analyser
- Examples, Practicalities

Product successes in the Gen ecosystem
I think that it is always good to report successes of the Gen toolset, or the ecosystem products – here‘s a recent one from a customer of xTrace.
It accurately reflects the iterative process behind the “growing” of ecosystem products – customers suggest stuff which fulfils a genuine need and it gets implemented in the product – power to the people !!!

New CA Webcast – CA Gen Multi-User Diagram Trace Utility for C Servers
This webcast will take place on 10th 18th Feb 2009 at 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EST for approximately 1 hour
“This webcast will explore the most efficient methods of using multiple Diagram Trace Utilities running on CA Gen client workstations to trace common CA Gen C Servers. Individual C Clients that communicate with C Servers using TE, TCP direct connect or Websphere MQ as the middleware can take advantage of this capability. This feature benefits CA Gen development shops where multiple users are testing various load modules within the same application.”
Register now for the webcast to gain benefit from CA’s experience.
