(Deprecated) You can use WebSphere® eXtreme Scale with applications that
use the Object Request Broker (ORB) directly in environments that
do not contain WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
Before you begin

Deprecated: The Object Request Broker (ORB) is deprecated. If you
were not using the ORB in a previous release, use IBM eXtremeIO (XIO)
for your transport mechanism. If you are using the ORB, consider migrating
your configuration to use XIO.
If
you use the ORB within the same process as
eXtreme Scale when you are running
applications, or other components and frameworks, that are not included
with
eXtreme Scale, you might
need to complete additional tasks to ensure that
eXtreme Scale runs correctly in
your environment.
About this task
Add the ObjectGridInitializer property
to the orb.properties file to initialize the
use of the ORB in your environment. Use the ORB to enable communication
between eXtreme Scale processes
and other processes that are in your environment.
Procedure
- The stand-alone installation does not include an orb.properties file. You must put an orb.properties file is
in the java/jre/lib directory. For descriptions
of the properties and settings, see ORB properties.
- In the orb.properties file, type
the following line, and save your changes:
org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.ibm.ws.objectgrid.corba.ObjectGridInitializer
Results
eXtreme Scale correctly
initializes the ORB and coexists with other applications for which
the ORB is enabled.
To use a custom version of the ORB with eXtreme Scale, see Configuring a custom Object Request Broker.
What to do next
You can use the xsLogAnalyzer tool
to verify the ORB settings across your environment. See Analyzing log and trace data for more information.
