Programmer’s Checklist

Developers of Rendezvous programs can use this checklist during the four phases of the development cycle: installing Rendezvous software, coding your program, compiling your program, and running your program.

Install

Before installing Rendezvous software, we recommend that you first install the .NET framework. If the .NET framework is present, then Rendezvous installation automatically registers the TIBCO.Rendezvous DLL in Microsoft’s general assembly cache (GAC).
Install the Rendezvous software release, which automatically includes the TIBCO.Rendezvous assembly DLL in the bin subdirectory.

Code

Import the Rendezvous assembly TIBCO.Rendezvous.

Compile

Compile with any .NET compiler.

Run

A copy of the TIBCO.Rendezvous assembly must be in the GAC.

(If the .NET framework was not present when you installed the Rendezvous software, you can manually add the TIBCO.Rendezvous DLL to the GAC now.)

The TIBCO Rendezvous C libraries must be accessible in the system path; see Shared Library Files.
You must arrange appropriate .NET security for your applications. The TIBCO Rendezvous library calls unmanaged code, and requires full trust.
The application must be able to connect to a Rendezvous daemon process (rvd).

IPM

Ensure that the IPM C library is in the PATH variable; see IPM Library.
