Ab Initio means “ Starts From the Beginning”. Ab-Initio software works with the client-
server model.
The client is called “Graphical Development Environment” (you can call it GDE).It
resides on user desktop.
The server or back-end is called Co-Operating System”. The Co-Operating System can
reside in a mainframe or unix remote machine.
The Ab-Initio code is called graph ,which has got .mp extension. The graph from GDE is
required to be deployed in corresponding .ksh version. In Co-Operating system the
corresponding .ksh in run to do the required job.
Ab-Intio Environment
The advantage of Ab-Initio code is that it can run in both the serial and multi-file system
environment.
Serial Environment: The normal UNIX file system.
Muti-File System: Multi-File System (mfs) is meant for parallelism. In an mfs a
particular file physically stored across different partition of the machine or even different
machine but pointed by a logical file, which is stored in the co-operating system. The
logical file is the control file which holds the pointer to the physical locations.
