1 Introduction

GINA (General Interface for Network Applications) provides a framework for the implemen- tation and operation of object-oriented, transaction-oriented client/server applications. The GINA-API is an object-oriented solution for the mixed, distributed applications which are en- countered everywhere in modern business life.

GINA is suitable for use in many types of client/server environment– for systems which place high demands on the criteria of data consistency and reliability (business-critical ap- plications) as well as for the rightsizing of mainframe-based systems for decentralized on- line transaction processing (OLTP).

GINA is based on standards and can adapt to individual circumstances. The object-oriented paradigm saves programming time and makes system structures clearer. Modifications and corrections are easier. GINA is a high-performance development environment for distribut- ed and persistent objects.

GINA is an open system and provides connectivity to external OLTP systems in a variety of environments such as the BS2000 or MVS environments.
