Preparing a Windows NT C++ client environment for OLT

Use System Manager to enable remote tracing and debugging and change the request timeout values on your client image. You must have completed a Component Broker client installation on this workstation.

To enable remote tracing and debugging on the client image:

  1. Ensure the DCE is installed and running.
  2. Ensure that CBConnector is running.
  3. Add your OS/390 Component Broker server host to your Hosts file.
  4. In System Manager, select View > View Level > Control.
  5. Open the Host Images folder, then expand the host image that corresponds to your machine name.
  6. Expand Client Style Images and select the host name that corresponds to the machine where your client application resides.
  7. From the client style image's pop-up menu, select Properties. A notebook opens.
  8. On the Main tab, check the Enable debug box.
  9. Select the ORB tab.
  10. Change the request timeout value to 0 (or a value that cannot be easily reached when using the debugger, such as 1800 seconds).
  11. Change the name server to the OS/390 Component Broker server host.
  12. Select the Transaction tab.
  13. Change deferred transaction begin to never.
  14. Click OK to close the client image notebook.

Note: If your client-side code includes transaction timeout values, you must set these values to 0 (or a value that cannot be easily reached when using the debugger) and recompile before continuing.

You should now start your Component Broker name and application servers.
