HE vs CSE for queries
It’s surely been noticed by many of us Gen users that the Host Encyclopedia is much more difficult to query than the Client Server Encyclopedia?.
How, for example would you query the HE to find entity types that have not been implemented in the Technical Design?
I’ve looked at this and can’t for the life of me construct a query to do this – does anyone know how to get this information out of the HE ?
One of the things that would make our lives easier would be an easy query interface to the HE and CSE. I know that we have the public interface, but it’s still hard – can anyone help ?????

Web Services and the PSTEP Interface Designer
Now that we have the ability to construct web services from CA Gen (on top of an EJB) one wonders if there is any experience of doing this in an existing CA Gen environment and any successes or failure, or points to note ?
Specifically:
- Producing custom WSDL from the PSTEP I/D
- Doing “contract-first” design
- Performance tuning
- Simple and Complex type definition
- Security
These are the things that modern SOA systems are mindful of and need to do – discussion would be great, since this is a new-ish field of play for CA Gen, and many organisations will be considering this !

Christmas presents
What would I like for Christmas ?
A brand new Jaguar (can’t afford that)
A second-hand Jaguar (can’t afford that either)….
….think….
I’ll settle for no call-outs over the Christmas period due to system failures. OK – It’s one of these Christmas presents that you know you are gonna have, but are happy when you get it !
Gen systems are among the most stable systems I have ever worked with and their stability never ceases to amaze me – which is why on Christmas morning my mobile phone will be off and no call-outs need to be taken!
Christmas – sooooooo predictable !

EDGE APAC 2010 is on NOW in Canberra, Australia – hopefully, someone who’s there will let me know how it went and grab some pictures !
Looks like a great Agenda !

Another effort-saving idea for CA Gen programmers!
In IET’s blog, they often come up with bright ideas for CA Gen developers.
The latest is no exception – here, they talk about an alternative mechanism for passing data through many levels of chained action blocks.
The method they describe works, but also has a number of additional bebefits to those they highlight:
- Improving developer efficiency – not only does it reduce the number of changed action blocks (leading to quicker migrations) but reduces the risks of “getting it wrong”.
- In environments where ALL changed action blocks undergo rigorous testing, reducing the number of changed action blocks will also reduce the level of testing required and hence improve efficiency of the testers.
