Building Executables on the UNIX Host

This section contains instructions for building executables for the broker and the DataServer for a remote DataServer configuration with a UNIX host. You must build these executables on the same type of UNIX machine where you intend to run them.

To run the PROBUILD utility and generate the link script for the broker and DataServer executables, follow these steps on your UNIX host machine. See the "Building Executables on the UNIX Client" section for illustrations of the PROBUILD interface:

  1. Set up the PROBUILD environment as described in the "PROBUILD and the DataServer" section.
  2. Enter $DLC/probuild/eucapp/probuild at the system prompt.
  3. Enter the directory where you want to put the link script (and ultimately, the executable for the broker). The default is your current directory. If you leave the Install Link Script Field empty, the utility places the link script in your current directory.
  4. Choose Continue. A list of products appears.
  5. Browse through the list and select REMOTE DATASERVER BROKER, then choose Continue.
  6. Type names for the link script and the executable.
  7. The default link script name for the broker is ldprobrkr. The default executable name is _probrkr. Progress Software recommends that you do not use the default names for custom executables.

  8. Choose Continue. A list of configurable elements appears.
  9. Select the appropriate network protocol, then choose Continue. The list of products appears again.
  10. Select REMOTE ORACLE DATASERVER from the product list.
  11. Type names for the link script and the executable, or accept the default.
  12. The default link script name for the DataServer is ldorasrv. The default executable name is _orasrv.

  13. Choose Continue. The list of configurable elements appears.
  14. Select the appropriate network protocol, then choose Continue. PROBUILD generates the link scripts or command procedures for the DataServer.
  15. Choose Return, then choose Exit to exit PROBUILD.

PROBUILD builds a link script that you then run to create a customized Progress executable that references the ORACLE libraries for the DataServer.

Next, you must set environment variables before running the link script to create the Progress executables. See the "Setting Environment Variables" and "Linking DataServer Executables" sections.
