-Dcom.ibm.net.rdma.nativeForkCompatibility (Linux® only)

Specifies whether the Java™ Sockets over RDMA (JSOR) client should connect and synchronize with the native RSockets server before establishing an RDMA connection.

Note: The RDMA implementation is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release of IBM® SDK, Java Technology Edition, Version 8. A possible alternative is the open source Libfabric library.

-Dcom.ibm.net.rdma.nativeForkCompatibility=[true|false]: The -Dcom.ibm.net.rdma.nativeForkCompatibility=true property results in the same behavior as the RDMAV_FORK_SAFE environment variable that is supported by the native RSsocket interface. Use this property when you interact with native applications that export the RDMAV_FORK_SAFE environment variable. The default value is false.

The following examples show the native server and Java client invocations that enable fork compatibility:

Server command-line invocation:

$ export RDMAV_FORK_SAFE=1

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/rsocket/librspreload.so SampleNativeServer <server_args>

where <server_args> are the native application-specific command-line options.

Client command-line invocation:
```
$ java -Dcom.ibm.net.rdma.conf=<client.conf>  
-Dcom.ibm.net.rdma.nativeForkCompatibility=true 
-cp <classpath> SampleClient <client_args>
```
where:
- <client.conf> is your client RDMA configuration file.
- <classpath> specifies your class path.
- <client_args> are the Java application-specific command-line options.
