Migrating to VisualAge Generator


Appendix E. Migrating to VisualAge Generator with TeamConnection

This section lists considerations that apply when migrating to VisualAge Generator with TeamConnection.


MSLs

When you migrate VisualAge Generator basic and concatenated MSLs to TeamConnection library MSLs, consider the following:


Linkage Table

Linkage tables must be stored in TeamConnection for use by the build process. When a linkage table is modified, all applications that were built with the linkage table are built again by TeamConnection. However, ITF only allows one linkage table to be specified in the Test Facility - General Preferences profile. Therefore, if you are using a single linkage table, you might want to consider keeping the single linkage table for the purposes of ITF testing, but splitting the linkage table into smaller tables for the purposes of doing builds with TeamConnection.


Resource Association File

Resource association files must be stored in TeamConnection for use by the build process. When a resource association file is modified, all applications that were built with the resource association file are built again by TeamConnection. However, ITF only allows one resource association file to be specified in the Test Facility - General Preferences profile. Therefore, if you are using a single resource association file, you might want to consider keeping the single resource association file for the purposes of ITF testing, but splitting the resource association file into smaller files for the purposes of doing builds with TeamConnection.
