Co>Operating system is nothing like distributed operating system which runs as a back end for GDE.

Co operating system is a server for Abinitio.

Co > Operating System:

It converts the AbInitio specific code into the format, which the UNIX/Windows can understand and feeds it to the native operating system, which carries out the task.

Co-Operating systems, that itself means a lot, it's not merely an engine or interpretor. As it says, it's an operating system which co-exists with another operating system. What does that mean.... in layman's term abinitio, unlike other applications, does not sit as a layer on top of any OS. It itself has quite a lot of operating system level capabilities such as multi files, memory management and so on and this way it completely integrate with any other OS and work jointly on the available hardware resources. This sort of Synergy with OS optimize the utilization of available hardware resources. Unlike other applications (including most other ETL tools) it does not work like a layer and interprete the commands.  That is the major difference with other ETL tools , this is the reason why abinitio is much much faster than any other ETL tool and obviously much much costlier as well.

yeah,

  abinitio is a combination if GDE(graphical development environment),

co^operating system,and EME(enterprise metadata environment)

each have its own importance and are inter-related.

generally co^op system ,and EME exists remotely .GDE has to communicate with these.

GDE communication to co^op and EME are very essential ,coz when we develop a graph it has to be deployed into co^op system(which is called the host,generally unix operating system) as .ksh,or .sh file .

the communication  to co^op system is possible thru ".aih "file,which tells GDE the host locatin,where the graph runs,in which directory ,which machine,and the necesary settings need to connect to co^op  etc.

similarly EME plays a prominent role .Thru GDE we have to store our object(project) by checking in,and if we want any modifications for the existing project checkout from EME to GDE.

the communication EME is possibel thru ".aip" file which tells GDE about the location of EME,the location of project ,the necessary settings need to connect to EME etc.

   hope this satisfies u folks,

Cheers,
