To generate .tlb and .reg files from components in a package on a remote server, connect EAServer Manager to the remote server. EAServer Manager must be running on Windows.
Type libraries contain proxy interface metadata, which can be used to perform drag-and-drop development of the ActiveX client. Also, the APAS uses a type library to perform type checking prior to invoking methods at runtime.
Registry files contain entries for proxy objects so that they can be instantiated using the standard mechanisms in ActiveX-enabled IDEs for creating an OLE automation object. These registry entries also specify the location of the APAS, which is responsible for processing all operations invoked by an ActiveX client on the proxy object. When generating type libraries and registry files for a package, EAServer Manager can automatically register the type libraries in the local registry.
An ActiveX client can be deployed on many machines. If you deploy an ActiveX client on another machine, make sure that the .tlb and .reg files also deployed on that machine. Because the location of these files and the APAS might be different from their location on the original machine, you must use the jagreg tool to automatically update and register the .reg files. (See “Deploy the ActiveX client” for details on jagreg.)
