Building User-written Applications Targeting Tuxedo Server Environments

The methods and tools used to compile and link user-written applications targeting Tuxedo server environments differ from those used for non-Tuxedo environments. The Tuxedo product provides several tools and processes which should be used when building Tuxedo applications. The steps involved include:

• Generating the Proxy Client include and Tuxedo support .tvf files. This is done using the CA Gen Workstation to generate a C proxy targeting Tuxedo Servers.
• Transferring these files to the target platform
• Compiling the .tvf files using the Tuxedo viewC32 compiler. This has been detailed in the above .tvf file discussion.
• Building the resulting application executable using the Tuxedo supplied buildclient compile/link tool.
• Building and executing the Tuxedo application server on the target environment.

  Note: For more information about CA Gen server support within a Tuxedo environment, see the Tuxedo User Guide.

It is strongly recommended this tool be used rather than calling the native C language compiler and linker directly. buildclient will provide the required compiler flags, include and library paths as well as any extra dependency libraries required to properly build a Tuxedo client application.
