6.20 Running simpapp to Verify Your Installation

One of the ways to verify that your Oracle Tuxedo software is installed correctly is to run one or more of the sample applications included with the installation. The sample applications demonstrate the capabilities of the ATMI and CORBA clients, and the ATMI and CORBA C++ servers.

The following sections provide procedures for verifying both the ATMI and CORBA C++ parts of your Oracle Tuxedo installation:

The simpapp application is a non-distributed application, meaning that it runs on a single machine. It is designed so that it can be up and running within minutes after the Oracle Tuxedo software is installed.

The simpapp application offers a single service called TOUPPER, which converts strings from lowercase to uppercase. The client is invoked with a single argument: a lowercase string to be converted to uppercase. The server returns the converted string to the client, and the client prints the converted string.

For example, the invocation 
simpcl “hello world”
results in the output
 Returned string is: HELLO WORLD

Two versions of simpapp exist: an ATMI version and a CORBA version. The ATMI version consists of an ATMI server, an ATMI client, and a UBBCONFIG file. The CORBA version consists of a CORBA C++ server, a CORBA C++ client.
