Testing a C/C++ application

This task is part of the larger task of Developing DB2 Everyplace applications using C/C++. When you complete the steps for Testing a C/C++ application, return to Developing DB2 Everyplace C/C++ applications.

Procedure

To test an application:

  1. Copy the DB2 Everyplace libraries to the emulator or device for your operating system. Without these files, a DB2 Everyplace application will fail to load. The following table summarizes the required DB2 Everyplace files for each operating system.

    ǥ 4. Required DB2 Everyplace files for testing

    Operating system Required files on device or emulator
    Palm OS 
    \db2everyplace\clients\palmos\database\DB2eCat.prc
\db2everyplace\clients\palmos\database\DB2eCLI.prc
\db2everyplace\clients\palmos\database\DB2eComp.prc
\db2everyplace\clients\palmos\database\DB2eRunTime.prc
\db2everyplace\clients\palmos\database\DB2eDMS.prc
    Symbian OS Version 6.0 For emulator testing, copy the file \db2everyplace\clients\symbian6\database\wins\DB2e.dll to each of the following emulator directories: 
    \EPOCROOT%EPOC32\Release\wins\udeb\ (for debug emulator)
\EPOCROOT%EPOC32\Release\wins\urel\ (for release emulator)

    For device testing, install the following file using the PsiWin connection software: 

    \db2everyplace\clients\symbian6\database\armi\DB2e.sis
    Windows CE Install the appropriate library for your operating system.

    ARM processor:

    • V3.00 
      db2everyplace\clients\wince\database\wce300\armrel\DB2e.dll

    MIPS processor:

    • V3.00 
      \db2everyplace\clients\wince\database\wce300\mipsrel\DB2e.dll

    SH3 processor:

    • V3.00 
      \db2everyplace\clients\wince\database\wce300\sh3rel\DB2e.dll

    Windows CE emulator:

    • V3.00

      For Pocket PC emulator: 

      db2everyplace\clients\wince\database\wce300\x86emrel\DB2e.dll

      For Pocket PC 2002 emulator: 

      \db2everyplace\clients\wince\database\wce300\x86rel\DB2e.dll
    Win32 Copy \db2everyplace\clients\win32\database\x86\DB2e.dll to either the current directory of the application or the PATH environment variable of the system.
    Neutrino /db2e/database/x86/libdb2e.so (for x86 processor type) and /db2e/database/strongarm/libdb2e.so (for strongarm processor type)
    Linux /db2e/database/x86/libdb2e.so (for x86 processor type) and /db2e/database/strongarm/libdb2e.so (for strongarm processor type)
  2. For Linux and Neutrino: Add libdb2e.so to the library search path, using one of the following methods:
  3. Load the files for the application being tested. For example, to test the Visiting Nurse sample application on Palm OS, load the NurseInit.prc and Nurse.prc files.
  4. Test the application.
