This section focuses on building AB Suite applications, AB Suite Client Framework applications, and AB Suite XML Framework applications.

Building is the process of producing the database definition language, the program source code and other files necessary to deploy your system from the business model that you have developed. This process is a one button operation that initiates a number of steps that Builder automatically completes without any further user intervention.

Builder is invoked from a Developer workstation and executes on that workstation. Note that the ‘Developer workstation’ could be an instance of Developer installed on a single-CPU or multi-CPU server. It is also possible that the platform hosting Developer could be the server upon which the application is deployed (Applicable only to Windows runtime).
