This topic describes how to configure your CORBA application so that you can run the University sample applications.

This topic includes the following sections:

A copy of the Readme.txt file with troubleshooting information and the latest information about setting up the sample applications is included in each sample application directory.

For information about setting up a database so that it can be used with the University sample applications, see Setting Up the Database.

System Prerequisites

For information about the operating system platforms supported by the product, see Installing the BEA Tuxedo System.

To run the client applications in the University sample applications, you need the following development tools:

Visual C++ version 5.0 with Service Pack 3
If you want to run the ActiveX client application, Visual Basic version 5.0 with Service Pack 3
If you want to run the CORBA Java client application, Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.3

Editing the setenv and UBBCONFIG Files

You need to set several parameters in the setenv and UBBCONFIG files in order for the University sample applications to work properly, as follows:

The setenv file sets the system environment variables needed to build and run the sample applications. Each sample application directory contains a unique setenv file. The name of the setenv file designates which sample application the file is to be used with. For example, setenvb is for the Basic sample application. Each sample application directory contains a setenv file for the Windows 2000 and UNIX operating systems. For a list of the specific filenames for the setenv file, see Table 2-1.
The UBBCONFIG file is the configuration file for the sample application. The UBBCONFIG file defines parameters for how the client and server applications in the sample application should work. Each sample application directory contains a unique UBBCONFIG file. The name of the UBBCONFIG file designates which sample application the file is to be used with. For example, ubb_b is for the Basic sample application. Each sample application directory contains a UBBCONFIG file for the Windows 2000 and UNIX operating systems. For a list of the specific filenames for the UBBCONFIG file, see Table 2-1.

The information in the setenv and UBBCONFIG files must match. The following sections explain how to edit the setenv and UBBCONFIG files.

ORACLE_HOME	The directory path where you installed the Oracle software. For example: Windows 2000 ORADIR=c:\Orant UNIX ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle
NETSCAPE	The directory path where you installed the Netscape Enterprise Server software. For example: Windows 2000 NETSCAPE=c:\Netscape\SuiteSpot UNIX NETSCAPE=/usr/local/netscape/suitespot You need to specify this parameter only if you plan to use the CORBA Java client application.
JARTYPE	Specifies the version of the JDK being used. Windows 2000 JARTYPE = JDK or jdk UNIX JARTYPE = JDK or jdk If you do not specify the JARTYPE parameter, it is assumed you are using the JDK version 1.1. You need to specify this parameter only if you plan to use the CORBA Java sample application.
JDKDIR	The directory path where you installed the JDK software. For example: Windows 2000 JDKDIR=c:\JDK1.2 UNIX JDKDIR=/usr/local/jdk1.1.6 You need to specify this parameter only if you plan to use the CORBA Java sample application.
TOBJADDR	If you are using a CORBA C++ client application that does not reside on the same machine as the server application, enter the host and port of the machine where the server application runs. It must be specified exactly (including case) as it appears in the UBBCONFIG file for the machine. For example: //BEANIE:2500
USERID	If you are using a remote instance of the Oracle database, the format is as follows: USERID=username/password@aliasname This is the same information you defined when you set up a remote instance of the Oracle database. If you are using a local instance of the Oracle database, the format is as follows: USERID=username/password
ORACLE_SID	The instance ID of the Oracle database. On Windows 2000, you do not need to specify the ORACLE_SID, the parameter automatically defaults to ORCL.
CCMPL	The directory location of the C compiler. This parameter is set to a typical installation directory. Verify that your installation matches this directory location and change the location if necessary. This parameter applies only to the UNIX operating system.
CPPCMPL	The directory location of the C++ compiler. This parameter is set to a typical installation directory. Verify that your installation matches this directory location and change the location if necessary. This parameter applies only to the UNIX operating system.
CPPINC	The directory location of the C++ include directory. This parameter is set to a typical installation directory. Verify that your installation matches this directory location and change the location if necessary. This parameter applies only to the UNIX operating system.

Setting the UBBCONFIG Parameters

Table 2-3 lists the parameters you need to modify in the UBBCONFIG file.

Table 2-3 Parameters in the UBBCONFIG File

Parameter	Description
MY_SERVER_MACHINE	Delete this parameter and replace it with the name of the server machine. On Windows 2000, you can obtain the server machine name by entering the following command at the MS-DOS prompt: set COMPUTERNAME On UNIX, you can obtain the server machine name by entering the following command at the shell prompt: prompt>uname -n You must enter the server machine name exactly (including case) as it appears in the output of the command. Specify the server machine name as it appears. For example, BEANIE. Full names must be included in quotation marks. For example: "beanie.bea.com".
APPDIR	The full directory path where you copied the sample application files. The directory path needs to be included in quotation marks. For example: Windows 2000 APPDIR="c:\work\university\basic" UNIX APPDIR="/usr/work/university/basic" This parameter needs to match the APPDIR parameter in the setenv file.
TUXCONFIG	The full directory path of the configuration file. This is the subdirectory of the sample application. The directory path needs to be included in quotation marks. For example: Windows 2000 TUXCONFIG="c:\work\university\basic\tuxconfig" UNIX TUXCONFIG="usr/work/university/basic/tuxconfig" This parameter needs to match the TUXCONFIG parameter in the setenv file.
TUXDIR	The full directory path where you installed the BEA Tuxedo software. The directory path needs to be included in quotation marks. For example: Windows 2000 TUXDIR="c:\Tux8" UNIX TUXDIR="/usr/local/Tux8" This parameter needs to match the TUXDIR parameter in the setenv file.
CLOPT for the ISL process	Enter the host name and port number of the machine on which the server application is installed. For example: ISL SRVGRP = SYS_GRP SRVID = CLOPT = "-A --n //BEANIE:2500"
OPENINFO	If you are using the Transactions, Wrapper, or Production sample applications, you need to specify this parameter for the Oracle database. If you are using a remote instance of the Oracle database, the OPENINFO parameter is specified as follows: OPENINFO = "Oracle_XA:Oracle_XA+SqlNet=aliasname+Acc=P/account /password+SesTM=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5" For example, on Windows 2000: OPENINFO = "Oracle_XA:Oracle_XA+SqlNet=ORCL+Acc=P/scott/ tiger+SesTM=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5" If you are using a local instance of the Oracle database, the OPENINFO parameter is specified as follows: OPENINFO = "Oracle_XA:Oracle_XA+Acc=P /account/password+SesTM=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5" For example, on Windows 2000: OPENINFO = "Oracle_XA:Oracle_XA+Acc=P /scott/tiger+SesTM=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5"

Running the setenv Command

Before you can use the University sample applications, you need to run the setenv script to ensure your system environment variables reflect all the changes made in the process of setting up the Oracle database and your configuration. Instructions for running the setenv command are included in the descriptions of building the individual sample applications.

Note: The makefiles for the University sample applications assume Microsoft Visual C++ is installed in the following location on Windows 2000:

c:\Progra~1\Devstu~1\VC

If your copy of Microsoft Visual C++ is not installed in that directory, run the following command procedure to set the appropriate system environment variables.

c:\Progra~1\Devstu~1\VC\Bin\VCVARS32.bat

The Oracle Pro*C/C++ compiler uses short names so you need to use ~ in the directory path to ensure the system variable is set correctly.
