Quick Start Guide
|
Ultra Messaging software consists of the documentation package and one or more binary packages. These instructions help get you started evaluating Ultra Messaging quickly. You can run pre-compiled commands from an Ultra Messaging binary distribution to get some quick performance numbers in your environment. A subsequent section guides you through creation of simple programs for local compilation.
A binary package consists of:
Binary versions of source code examples, in the bin directory.
Header files, in the include directory.
Link libraries, in the lib directory.
The Ultra Messaging code and documentation are copyrighted and confidential information owned by Informatica and are covered under the terms of our Software License Agreement or Non-Disclosure Agreement as appropriate. Use of this code and documentation without a valid Non-Disclosure Agreement or Software License Agreement with Informatica Corporation is strictly prohibited. If this code and documentation is being supplied under the terms of a Non Disclosure Agreement, all copies, in any form, must be returned or destroyed at the end of the evaluation period or as requested by Informatica.
The following steps assume that the windows package is installed on all test machines in the standard place:
C:\Program Files\Informatica\rel-id\platform-id
where rel-id is the release identifier and platform-id describes the ABI (Application Binary Interface). For example:
C:\Program Files\Informatica\UMQ_6.17\Win2k-x86_64
It is also assumed that the \bin directory is included in the windows PATH environment variable. This is needed so that the .EXE and .DLL files can be found.
Open a command prompt window on the machine you want to use for receiving messages and enter the command lbmrcv topic to start a receiver. Note that topic can be any string. You should see output that looks something like this:
A new line will be printed about once per second showing the elapsed time, messages received, and data received. As long as there are no sources yet running on topic, the number of messages received will continue to be zero.
Open a command prompt window on the machine you want to use for sending messages and enter the command lbmsrc topic to start sending messages. The receiver will automatically discover the source, at which time its output will change to something like this:
With no options given, the source will send 10,000,000 small (25 byte) messages. If you would like to test different size packets or number of packets sent, you can set options. Enter lbmsrc -h at the command line, you will get a list of options you can control.
Ctrl-C to kill the source or receiver.
The following steps assume that the Unix package is installed on all test machines under a normal user account:
/home/user-id/lbmeval/rel-id/platform-id
where rel-id is the release identifier and platform-id describes the ABI (Application Binary Interface). For example:
/home/jsmith/UMQ_6.17/Linux-glibc-2.17-x86_64
It is also assumed that the /bin directory is included in the PATH environment variable and the /lib directory is in the appropriate loader library search path environment variable (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Linux; see http://bhami.com/rosetta.html for equivalences in other flavors of Unix).
Open a command prompt window on the machine you want to use for receiving messages and enter the command lbmrcv topic to start a receiver. Note that topic can be any string. You should see output that looks something like this:
A new line will be printed about once per second showing the elapsed time, messages received, and data received. As long as there are no sources yet running on topic, the number of messages received will continue to be zero.
Open a command prompt window on the machine you want to use for sending messages and enter the command lbmsrc topic to start sending messages. The receiver will automatically discover the source, at which time its output will change to something like this:
With no options given, the source will send 10,000,000 small (25 byte) messages. If you would like to test different size packets or number of packets sent, you can set options. Enter lbmsrc -h at the command line, you will get a list of options you can control.
