Rational® Programming
Patterns cannot be installed on AIX®.
However, a package is standardly supplied with the Rational Programming Patterns client part
to run some commands on this operating system.
About this task
The package contains the following Rational Programming Patterns commands:
- --refresh to refresh the workspace,
- --daemon to start and stop the daemon,
- --commands to run a list of commands,
- --help to display the help on a specific command.
Procedure
- Decompress the file that contains the .sh commands.
This file is available from the installation directory of your Rational Software Delivery
Platform, under rpp/resources.
Choose
the file that is adapted to your environment:
- rpp-batch-product-aix.gtk.ppc.zip for a 32-bit
environment
- rpp-batch-product-aix.gtk.ppc64.zip for a
64-bit environment
- Verify that you have the authorization to run the rpp.sh and lrpp.sh commands
by entering the following command on the AIX machine:
chmod +x *.sh
- Run the .sh commands on the AIX machine.
Results
In the same way as with the rpp.bat command
for Windows, you can create
your own commands by using the API and extension points that are provided.
For explanations, see User command lines.
You
can also use the MAF API. For explanations, see Navigation in the models: MAF.
Create your plug-in in the Rational Programming Patterns
graphical environment on Windows.
Then, you simply put your packaged plug-in in the plugins directory
where you decompressed the package for AIX.
