This manual describes how to build Enduro/X on IBM AIX Platform. Document is based on AIX 7.1. Compilers supported are GNU GCC and IBM xlC.
This manual includes basic installation of Enduro/X which does not include building of documentation, does not include platform script (as there is issues with c++ headers), and does not use GPG-ME encryption for bridges.
For AIX there is not management tools for Posix queues (like /dev/mqueue file system for Linux). Thus Enduro/X have implemented wrappers for mq_open() call that makes empty files on file system in NDRX_QPATH environment folder. This is kind of registry of queues opened by Enduro/X. Thus for performance reasons, it is recommended to mount a memory based partition where middle-ware can store these files.
The installation process will install required pen source packages from http://www.perzl.org/aix/. you may install packages with different approach. This is just a sample process for getting build system working on under AIX. For getting Enduro/X to work basically we need following packages:
The following operations will be done from root user. This will download the all open source packages to local machine to /root/rpms folder.
# mkdir /root/rpms
# cd /root/rpms
# ftp -i www.oss4aix.org
# ftp -i www.oss4aix.org

...Once all packages are downloaded. We can start to install required ones. This will include also installation of gcc. However you may skip that if you use xlC. This last step in the package install block.

NOTE the versions of packages for you might change. For some packages we do not need such large dependency list, thus we add --nodeps for some.
For test purposes we will prepare new user for which Enduro/X will built (this adds the in the path the /opt/freeware/bin and xlC version 13 compiler. You may modify that of your needs.
# useradd -m user1 # su - user1 $ bash $ cat << EOF >> .profile PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.:/opt/freeware/bin:/opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.3/bin EOF $ chmod +x .profile $ source .profile $ cd /home/user1 $ GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://github.com/endurox-dev/endurox $ cd endurox $ git config http.sslVerify "false"
This code bellow creates ndrx_home executable file which loads basic environment, so that you can use sample configuration provided by Enduro/X in sampleconfig directory. This also assumes that you are going to install to $HOME/endurox/dist folder. The file bellow will override the sample configuration.
$ cat << EOF > $HOME/ndrx_home #!/bin/bash # Where app domain lives export NDRX_APPHOME=/home/user1/endurox # Where NDRX runtime lives export NDRX_HOME=/home/user1/endurox/dist/bin # Debug config too export NDRX_DEBUG_CONF=/home/user1/endurox/sampleconfig/debug.conf # NDRX config too. export NDRX_CONFIG=/home/user1/endurox/sampleconfig/ndrxconfig.xml # Access for binaries export PATH=$PATH:/$HOME/endurox/dist/bin # LIBPATH for .so export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:$HOME/endurox/dist/lib64 # UBF/FML field tables export FLDTBLDIR=$HOME/endurox/ubftest/ubftab ############################################################### # For AIX we do not have a tools for Posix queue listings, thus # we will use temporary files (pipes) in special folder rm -rf /tmp/mq mkdir /tmp/mq export NDRX_QPATH=/tmp/mq ############################################################### EOF $ chmod +x $HOME/ndrx_home
It is assumed that xlC is default compiler on the system, thus following shall make the building ok:
$ export OBJECT_MODE=64 $ cd /home/user1/endurox $ cmake -DDEFINE_DISABLEPSCRIPT=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEDOC=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEGPGME=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/dist . $ make $ make install
If you previously have installed gcc (C/C++) compiler open source package. Then you can build Enduro/X with GCC compiler. To prepare for GCC build, do following steps:
$ cd /home/user1/endurox $ export OBJECT_MODE=64 $ export CC=gcc $ export CXX=g++ $ export CFLAGS=-maix64 $ export CXXFLAGS=-maix64 $ cmake -DDEFINE_DISABLEPSCRIPT=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEDOC=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEGPGME=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/dist . $ make $ make install
Enduro/X basically consists of two parts: . XATMI runtime; . UBF/FML buffer processing. Each of these two sub-systems have own units tests.

ATMI testing might take some time. Also ensure that you have few Gigabytes of free disk space, as logging requires some space. Also for AIX there are small default limits of max file size. It is recommended to increase it to some 10 GB or so. To run the ATMI tests do following:
$ cd /home/user1/endurox/atmitest $ nohup ./run.sh & $ tail -f /home/user1/endurox/atmitest/test.out ... ************ FINISHED TEST: [test028_tmq/run.sh] with 0 ************ Completed "atmi_test_all": 28 passes, 0 failures, 0 exceptions. Completed "main": 28 passes, 0 failures, 0 exceptions.
You may experience issues with libxml2 version between free-ware and AIX system provided. The error looks like:
$ ./cpmsrv
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./cpmsrv because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a(libxml2.shr_64.o) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libxml2.shr_64.o is not found in archiveIt seems that linker is using /ccs/lib/libxml2.a but at runtime picks up /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a. One way to solve this is to replace freeware version with system provided file. That could be done in following way:
# cd /opt/freeware/lib # mv libxml2.a backup.libxml2.a # ln -s /usr/ccs/lib/libxml2.a .
To switch the compilers, it is recommended to clean up CMake cached files before doing configuration for other compiler, for example (switching from xlC to GCC):
$ rm -rf CMakeCache.txt Makefile CMakeFiles/ $ export OBJECT_MODE=64 $ export CC=gcc $ gcc gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. $ export CXX=g++ $ export CFLAGS=-maix64 $ export CXXFLAGS=-maix64 $ cmake -DDEFINE_DISABLEPSCRIPT=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEDOC=ON -DDEFINE_DISABLEGPGME=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd`/dist . -- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.3 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.3 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/g++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/g++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done ...
On AIX 6.1 there with gcc version 4.8.3 works on with thread flag. However, it looks like On AIX 7.1 with the same gcc version thread local storage is not working. The symptoms are that varous test cases fail, for example test028 (tmqueue). While this happens it is recommended to use xlC compiler.
At finish you have a configured system which is read to process the transactions by Enduro/X runtime. It is possible to copy the binary version (dist) folder to other same architecture machines and run it there with out need of building.
