Migrating NonStop Tuxedo Applications

In most respects, the H-series NonStop Tuxedo application environment is similar to

the G-series NonStop Tuxedo environment. Most of the differences are in the

application development environment, which apply to all applications.

General Considerations

•

All TNS/R native applications must be recompiled using an H-series TNS/E native

compiler. TNS/R native object files cannot be executed on a TNS/E system.

•

All libraries on H-series systems are dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). Shared run-time

libraries (SRLs) are not supported on H-series systems. You must rebuild SRLs as

DLLs.

See the sections in the main body of this manual for details about these and other

G-series and H-series differences and migration tasks that must be performed for all

types of applications.

Product-Specific Considerations

Installing NonStop Tuxedo DLLs

All HP-supplied executables are built using DLLs. When NonStop Tuxedo is installed in

the default location /tuxedo8.0, the directory /tuxedo8.0/lib is searched for the required

DLLs. However, if NonStop Tuxedo is installed in a nonstandard location, that is, a

location other than /tuxedo8.0, you need to indicate the location of the directory to be

searched for DLLs. You indicate the directory to be searched by exporting the

environment variable _RLD_LIB_PATH. For example:

export TUXDIR=/tux_nonstd

export_RLD_LIB_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib

For more information on installation changes for the H-series RVUs, see the NonStop

Tuxedo 8.0 Supplement for H-Series RVUs.

Using buildclient and buildserver

By default, the buildclient and buildserver utilities search the default install directory

/tuxedo/lib for DLLs they require. If those procedures use DLLs in any other location,

you must indicate the location by exporting the _RLD_LIB_PATH environment variable

buildclient and buildserver. That variable specifies the directory path to be searched for

DLLs.

NonStop Tuxedo 8.0 Supplement for H-Series RVUs.
