Running Rational Programming Patterns command lines on AIX

Rational® Programming Patterns cannot be installed on AIX®. However, a package is standardly supplied with the Rational Programming Patterns client part to run some commands on this operating system.

About this task

The package contains the following Rational Programming Patterns commands:

--refresh to refresh the workspace,
--daemon to start and stop the daemon,
--commands to run a list of commands,
--help to display the help on a specific command.

Procedure

Decompress the file that contains the .sh commands. This file is available from the installation directory of your Rational Software Delivery Platform, under rpp/resources.
Choose the file that is adapted to your environment:
- rpp-batch-product-aix.gtk.ppc.zip for a 32-bit environment
- rpp-batch-product-aix.gtk.ppc64.zip for a 64-bit environment
Verify that you have the authorization to run the rpp.sh and lrpp.sh commands by entering the following command on the AIX machine:
chmod +x *.sh
Run the .sh commands on the AIX machine.

Results

In the same way as with the rpp.bat command for Windows, you can create your own commands by using the API and extension points that are provided. For explanations, see User command lines.

You can also use the MAF API. For explanations, see Navigation in the models: MAF.

Create your plug-in in the Rational Programming Patterns graphical environment on Windows. Then, you simply put your packaged plug-in in the plugins directory where you decompressed the package for AIX.
