TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is available on the VMS platforms listed in Table 7. (For the latest changes, see the README file.)
Table 7 VMS Distribution Directories Installer Package Suffix OpenVMS v.8.2 or later HP Integrity/Itanium, 32-bit Installation on VMS platforms uses the VMSINSTAL utility, which is described in the OpenVMS system management documentation.Task A Log In as SYSTEMLog in to the SYSTEM account.Task B Check TCP/IP Services
Although you can successfully install the EMS files without running TCP/IP services, the EMS installation verification procedure will fail if TCP/IP services have not been started.The product distribution contains the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service software for VMS platforms, as shown in Supported Platforms and Installation Packages. These files are also available for download from the TIBCO website.Installation packages are zipped (compressed) using the VMS free software ZIP utility. To preserve the file attributes, unzip them on a VMS computer (and not on a PC or UNIX computer).Utilities to decompress zip files are available on the HP OpenVMS Freeware distributions, or at the HP web site:http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/freeware/index.html?jumpid=/go/openvms/freewareWhen copying VMS save sets through a Windows PC or UNIX computer, the resulting files do not retain the proper file attributes. As a result, the VMS BACKUP utility cannot read them to install them.To rectify this situation, copy the files to a computer running VMS, and use this command to restore the correct file attributes:Task D Mount the Distribution MediaThe mount command automatically determines that the drive is formatted according to ISO 9660, but you must specify the record format for the backup save sets. For example:The installation procedure requires your input. The most important items you supply are the target location for the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service files, and the environment to install (development or runtime environment).
2. Set default to the root directory of the release drive, or transfer the installation package zip file to a disk directory and set default to that directory.
4. Retrieve and read the release notes for the VMS distribution, which are in the sys$help directory. For example, to retrieve the release notes without installing EMS software, use these commands as a model:The release notes are in the file sys$help:tibems063.release_notes.
5. Install the product software. Specify the product name and directory on the command line to VMSINSTAL. For example:Task F Verify InstallationWe recommend that you verify correct operation of EMS. You can verify installation at any time by invoking the command:The test procedure verifies that the sample program images used are available, and displays the output seen in a successful test. Finally, it accepts input of the host name and port of a server running on another system, starts a listening program, and sends three messages. The output of the sender and receiver are displayed on the console.Visually compare the actual results with the sample above it. If they match in all details except for host and port, then EMS software is installed and operating correctly.On VMS platforms, EMS programmers must define the C-compile command appropriately.EMS API libraries are multi-threaded, so VMS scheduler upcalls can yield significant performance improvements:
When upgrading from EMS 4.3 to 4.4 or later versions, EMS client executables that were linked with the EMS 4.3 dynamic libraries (shareable images) must be relinked to the new libraries after EMS 4.4 has been installed with its associated third party libraries. The third party libraries are part of the full installation of EMS.
