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 !

Happy New Year 2011
Welcome to 2011 !
What do you
want CA Gen to do
for you in 2011 ?
I want CA Gen to continue to save me more development costs, let my developers be more productive, and finally, let me not worry about my platforms !
Just like it always has, but more of the same !

2010 looking back
I’m NOT going to do one of those “review of the year” posts this year, but I will be highlighting specific posts of particular interest to how CA Gen has moved forward in 2010.
First in the line to be highlighted is this one : “So now I’m home!” which was a look back at CA World 2010 and the tooling announcements by IET, APG and other partners. The fact that APG has invested in tooling to bring people TO CA Gen from other technologies is encouraging shows that there’s a market for that out there and it IS being successfully done.
More next time….
