Building the server environment for AIX (64-bit)

How to build the server environment for IBM MQ for AIX (64-bit).

Procedure

1. Create a directory (for example, APPDIR) in which the server environment is built and execute all commands in this directory.
2. Export the following environment variables, where TUXDIR represents the root directory for TUXEDO, and MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.:

   $ export CFLAGS="-I MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/inc -I /APPDIR -L MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/lib64"
   $ export LDOPTS="-lmqm"
   $ export FIELDTBLS= MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxvx.flds
   $ export VIEWFILES=/APPDIR/amqstxvx.V
   $ export LIBPATH=$TUXDIR/lib64: MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/lib64:/lib64
   

3. Add the following line to the TUXEDO file udataobj/RM:

   MQSeries_XA_RMI:MQRMIXASwitchDynamic: -lmqmxa64 -lmqm
   

4. Run the commands:

   $ mkfldhdr    MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxvx.flds
   $ viewc       MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxvx.v
   $ buildtms    -o MQXA -r MQSeries_XA_RMI
   $ buildserver -o MQSERV1 -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxsx.c \
          -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/lib64/libmqm.a \
          -r MQSeries_XA_RMI -s MPUT1:MPUT \
          -s MGET1:MGET \
          -v -bshm
   $ buildserver -o MQSERV2 -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxsx.c \
          -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/lib64/libmqm.a \
          -r MQSeries_XA_RMI -s MPUT2:MPUT
          -s MGET2:MGET \
          -v -bshm
   $ buildclient -o doputs -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxpx.c \
          -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/lib64/libmqm.a
   $ buildclient -o dogets -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/amqstxgx.c \
          -f MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/lib64/libmqm.a
   

5. Edit ubbstxcx.cfg and add details of the machine name, working directories, and queue manager as necessary:

   $ tmloadcf  -y MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/ubbstxcx.cfg
   

6. Create the TLOGDEVICE:

   $tmadmin -c
   

   A prompt is displayed. At this prompt, enter:

   > crdl -z /APPDIR/TLOG1
   

7. Start the queue manager:

   $ strmqm
   

8. Start Tuxedo:

   $ tmboot -y
   

What to do next

We can now use the doputs and dogets programs to put messages to a queue and retrieve them from a queue.
