Deployment Description


The purpose of the deployment description is to define the physical distribution of the application and also define the practical details on how to build the different parts.

The specific objectives for a deployment description might vary during different activities: during design we are more concerned on describing on how to verify or validate the design, i.e. how to simulate the design in different ways, while in later activities it is desired to specify the final application build process for the application structure. It is therefor possible to have several deployment descriptions for one system.

There is a textual format for defining a deployment description - for more information, see "Build Scripts" on page 2644 in chapter 56, The Cadvanced/Cbasic SDL to C Compiler, in the User´s Manual.

Example of a textual deployment description, i.e. build script:

set-kernel SCTAAPPLCLENV
set-env-header on
program UserPart
component system AccessControl / block LocalStation
make-template-file UserMake.tpm
generate-micro-c
program CentralPart
component system AccessControl / block CentralUnit
make-template-file CentralMake.tpm
generate-advanced-c
