Selecting a Development Platform
(ETK). In this guide, the Enterprise Tool Kit is introduced in Section 18, Using the HP
Enterprise Toolkit (ETK) and Native C/C++ Cross Compiler on the PC.
The Guardian CPPINIT* and OSS or PC cppinit* files used to create, replace, or
delete C++ operators for TNS/R programs are not needed for TNS/E programs. The
Guardian LIBCOBEY and OSS libc.obey files are not used for TNS/E program
linking during compilation.
Selecting a Development Platform
A development platform consists of the hardware system and software environment
available to compile, link, and run a program.
You can develop OSS programs regardless of whether the OSS environment is
available on the system. However, you cannot run and test OSS programs on a system
without the OSS environment.
It is easier to develop a program in the environment in which it runs, but you can
develop a program in one environment that runs in another environment, with a few
restrictions. However, compile times are much faster in the PC environment.
Table 17-1, Development Platform Capabilities, describes the capabilities of each
development platform.
