You build the dapismp sample API application
by using a compiler for your operating system.
About this task
You must install the following compilers to build the UNIX or Linux® API
sample application:
- IBM®
AIX® - IBM Visual Age
compiler version 6 or later
- HP-IA64 - aCC compiler A.05.50 or later
- Linux - GCC
compiler version 3.3.3 or later
- Mac OS X - GCC compiler version 4.0 or later
- Oracle Solaris - Oracle Studio C++ compiler version 11 or later
Procedure
- To build the API samples, run the following command:
gmake -f makesmp[64].xxx
Where
xxx indicates
the operating system.
-
After you build the samples, set up your environment variables, including the
DSMI_DIR,
and your options files. For more information, see Understanding configuration and options files.
- The first time you log on, log on as the root user to
register your password.
Tip: Setting the
compressalways option to
no might not
resend an object uncompressed. This behavior depends on the application
functionality.
To specify the
Shared Memory communications method on AIX, the
IBM Storage Protect API client user must comply with one of the following conditions:
- Must be logged in as the root user.
- Must have the same UID as the process that is running the IBM Storage Protect server.
For
more information, see the application program documentation.
- Run the dapismp command to start the
application.
- Choose from the list of options that is displayed. Ensure
that you run the sign-on action before you run any other actions.
Requirement: Always prefix the file space, high-level, and low-level
names with the correct path delimiter (/) when you enter the name, for example:
/myfilespace. You must use this prefix even when you specify the asterisk (*)
wildcard character.
