Development Tools Overview
 Introduction
 The development in RMS can occur in several areas, namely:
 Online – Using Oracle Forms Developer to develop the GUI, and
Oracle Reports Developer to develop the Reports;
 Batch – Using AIX scripts, SQL scripts and Pro*C to develop the
batch processes;
 Both of these areas are supported by PL/SQL code in the
database

 The Online processing allows users to create, view and edit

data in RMS on their desktop

 The Batch processing allows to process large volumes of

transactions and/or data, perform interfaces with external
systems and perform internal maintenance.

 RMS Directory Structure

T-PT0108/04 CONFIDENTIAL© Copyright 2005 Wipro Technologies 20

 Pro*C – Retek Program Structure
 Retek provides a framework to simplify development
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA;
#include “retek_2.h”
long SQLCODE;

 Retek programs mostly follow the same structure in main()

 LOGON()
 Connect to the database

 init()
 Initialize all process variables main
 retek_init initializes the retek restart framework

 process() init process final

 Actual program logic

 final()
???
 Clean up function: flush i/o, release memory, etc…
 retek_close cleans up the retek restart framework

 Pro*C - Restart Recovery

 Avoid wasting valuable processing resources repeating work

 Load variables with the previous bookmark

 init_parameters array
 retek_init()

 At every commit, create a bookmark

 retek_commit()
 retek_force_commit()

 On a subsequent run, pick up from the latest bookmark in the

driving cursor

 Pro*C – Multi-threading

 Multi-threading allows for better scalability

 The machines have several CPUs, use them!

 Load variables with the previous bookmark

 init_parameters array
 retek_init()

 On the main cursor filter by thread id

 Views like V_RESTART_XXX
 Or some similar logic
