CORBA 2.3.7 Programmer's Guide for Java

The -a switch is and optional switch available only if you are running showior from JORB Lite. When used,
-a specifies that the profile data is to be displayed in an ASCII/hexadecimal-formatted table. The default profile
data display is mixed ASCII and hexadecimal where an ASCII character is enclosed within square brackets [ ]
and the hexadecimal digit is enclosed within parentheses ( ).
-o
The -o switch decodes and displays the object key information in a form similar to that displayed by the
Console (see Figure 5.3).
IOR-filename
This option specifies the name of the IOR file to be displayed. The default filename is objref.
Examples of showior Commands
The following command runs showior with the default display and default IOR file objref.
showior
The next command runs showior with the -o switch enabled to show the object key information. The filename
specified is NameService.
showior -o NameService
Using the esadmin Tool
Use the Event Service Administration Tool (esadmin tool) as a development tool for debugging a NonStop
CORBA application. While the esadmin tool can be used to perform Event Service administrative and management
tasks, the Console is the preferred tool for management in production environments. The esadmin tool can only be run
from the JORB Lite environment on a workstation, but it can be used with the Event Service on the NonStop system.
The esadmin tool uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to let you administer one or more NonStop CORBA Event
Service channels. By using this tool, you can:
View the current statistics for an event channel●
Change event channel policies●
Enable or disable tracing in the event channel●
The Event Service Administration Tool is a Java application that makes use of the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit
(AWT) to implement a graphical interface. Therefore, you must run the tool in a Java environment that supports the
AWT; the tool does not run on NonStop systems.
You can locate event channels by using the Naming Service or by using a file-based object reference, as explained later
in this section.
For JORB Lite, the required Java environment is:
CLASSPATH must include the path to the standard Java JVM classes file, the jorblite.jar file, and the
esadmin.jar file.
●
PATH must include the path to the Java implementation.●
When NonStop CORBA is installed, the Naming Service writes the stringified IOR of the root naming context
into the NameService file. This ASCII file must be copied to the computer where JORB Lite is installed and
the full pathname of this file must be specified in the lite.dbm Naming Service setting. The default location is
c:\jorblite\lib\lite.dbm.
