Environmental Dependencies
Environmental Dependencies
NonStop DCE has these dependencies on the development and run-time environment:
•
NonStop DCE supports only applications written using the ANSI-standard
C programming language or a combination of C and COBOL, as described in
Using a Fault-Tolerant Backing Store on page 2-9.
•
The OSS c89 utility must be used to compile and bind C programs; for COBOL
programs, use these utilities:
°
The OSS cobol utility for TNS COBOL programs
°
The OSS nmcobol utility for TNS/R native COBOL programs
°
The OSS ecobol utility for TNS/E native COBOL programs
•
Programs that use NonStop DCE must execute as OSS processes.
A Sample DCE Application
The NonStop DCE product includes a sample application named Information Please.
The sample application was developed by Harold Lockhart, Jr. and Fred Oldfield and is
described in OSF DCE: Guide to Developing Distributed Applications.
The server for this application is provided as a standard server. The application and the
changes required to port it to NonStop DCE are described in Section 5, Porting
Applications. Appendix A, Sample Application Listings, gives the complete program
listings.
