Refer to Using the Oracle Tuxedo Workstation Component for more information on the Workstation platform.To compile and link-edit Workstation client programs, use the buildclient(1) command. If you are building a UNIX Workstation client on the native node, use the -w option to have the client built using the Workstation libraries.If you are building a client on a native node, and both native and Workstation libraries are present, the native libraries are used by default. In this case, specifying the -w option ensures that the correct libraries for a Workstation client are used.On a workstation, where only the Workstation libraries are present, it is not necessary to specify -w.Listing 12‑3 shows how to use the buildclient command on a native node.Listing 12‑1 Example of Running buildclient on a UNIX PlatformThe -o option enables you to specify a name for your output file. Input files specified with the -f option are linkedited before system libraries.As illustrated, the TUXDIR environment variable must be used to ensure that the buildclient command can locate system libraries. Be sure that you have defined TUXDIR. The CC environment variable defaults to cc, but can be set to another compiler through ALTCC.Table 12‑1 lists the environment variables that are checked by TPINITIALIZE when a Workstation client attempts to join an application.
Network address of the Workstation listener process through which the client gains access to the application. Use the value specified in the application configuration file for the Workstation listener to be called. If the value begins with the characters 0x, the system interprets it as a string of hexadecimal digits; otherwise, the system interprets it as ASCII characters. Workstation type. Used by TPINITIALIZE when that call is invoked by a Workstation client to negotiate encode/decode responsibilities with the native site. If you do not specify WSTYPE, the system performs encoding, even if WSTYPE is not specified on the native site, either. You must explicitly specify the same WSTYPE value for both the native and Workstation client sites to ensure that the encode/decode feature is turned off. Maximum amount of core memory that the ATMI uses for buffering application replies before dumping them to disk. Used by TPINITIALIZE. The default system limit is 256,000 bytes. Whether you should use WSRPLYMAX to set a lower limit depends on the amount of memory available on your machine. Writing replies to disk causes a substantial reduction in performance. The network address used by the Workstation client when connecting to the Workstation listener or Workstation handler. This variable, along with the WSFRANGE variable, determines the range of TCP/IP ports to which a Workstation client will attempt to bind before making an outbound connection. This address must be a TCP/IP address. The range of TCP/IP ports to which a Workstation client process attempts to bind before making an outbound connection. The WSFADDR parameter specifies the base address of the range. The default is 1.
Note: MicroFocus delivers LIBNSL.a as a shared object, which is required by buildclient when linking a Workstation client. Because MicroFocus COBOL does not support shared objects on UNIX 3.2, Workstation for UNIX 3.2 is not supported.To compile the COBOL source files that call the ATMI, you must use the COBOL compiler with the LITLINK option. To linkedit the Workstation client object files, use the buildclient(1) command. While the syntax of the command is straightforward, the usage varies according to the compilation system used.Listing 12‑2 shows how to use the buildclient command.Listing 12‑2 Example of Running buildclient on a Windows PlatformTable 12‑2 describes the buildclient command options used in the preceding example.
One or more object files to be included before the Oracle Tuxedo libraries. You can use the -f option to pass options to the compiler or linker. To specify more than one filename, enter a list of files after -f, using white space to separate filenames and double quotation marks around the list. You can also specify multiple filenames using multiple occurrences of the -f option on the command line. The following example shows how to build an executable client for an ACCEPT/DISPLAY application, such as CSIMPAPP.Listing 12‑3 Building ACCEPT/DISPLAY clients
