VisualAge Generator to Enterprise Generation Language Migration Guide

Migration tool terminology

To achieve a good cross-part migration, when you migrate a part, you must provide not only the part itself but all parts that it references. For example, when you migrate a program, you should provide not only the program, but also all the parts that the program references. For a program, the set of parts that you need when you migrate the program is the same set of parts that you need when you generate the program in VisualAge Generator. This set of parts is the program's associates list.

In VisualAge Generator, the common techniques for providing all the parts for generation are as follows:
