what is emerald framework

February 12, 2008 12:29 PM

Has anybody out there ever worked with software that uses something called emerald framework.

I guess one part of my company had a software developed which I may or may not be working on and they mentioned it is built on emerald framework. Just wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction to read up on this.

In addition I did try google and wikipedia and could not find anything of value, but my company is having some issues with the internet these days as well as the network admind enjoy blocking sites for no reason.

I suspect you mean Emeraude framework.

See:
Transtar Software, Inc.:
Emeraude PCTE (ISO-PCTE compliant, repository framework); Transtar Repository (Repository-based tool integration environment)
300 Concord Road, Billerica, MA 01821, USA; Phone: [phone]; Fax: [phone]; [e-mail] (here)

also:
Implementations of existing standards are scarce. PCTE has only two known environment implementations (TRANSTAR and PORTOS). A previous implementation of PCTE, Emeraude, is now called TRANSTAR. Many tools requiring encapsulation into the PCTE framework already exist and have been integrated into the UNIX environment. Customers using these tools and wanting to migrate into the PCTE world would have to encapsulate something that already has been integrated into a potential environment on the UNIX side. The latter would be an inefficient means of integrating a tool into the PCTE side of the house, despite the need for the existence of such (especially if the user already has these tools resident within his UNIX environment). The increased popularity of the CORBA specification may preclude PCTE usage and obviate the need for such. (here)

I can not find a current reference to TRANSTAR.

In case it wasn't obvious, the contact details for Transtar Software, Inc. may be very aged.
