Where Centos is a VMWare virtual machine (guest) with Windows XP as the host operating system.

Install Centos

I had trouble installing Centos in a VMWare guest (Windows XP being the host operating system). Solution was to download a ‘CentOS 5.0, server install’ from thoughtpolice to get Centos up and running as a VMWare virtual machine. Read about this here.

Download and install Java (JDK)

see /nix/download-and-install-of-java-jdk.html for instructions as to the installation of JDK on Centos.

Run the installer.

The installation process is pretty straight forward. I choose to install in /pro/product/101b (like Oracle’s Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) Convention) 

[root@localhost remivisser]# tar -xvf oe101b_linux.tar
./101dbuti
./3party/
./3party/sonicesb/
./3party/sonicesb/esb_docportal.htm
./3party/sonicesb/esb_readme.htm
./3party/sonicesb/setup.bat
./3party/sonicesb/setup.ini
./3party/sonicesb/setup.jar
.

Test the executables

After the install I want to test the executables, the ‘prostrct‘ command goes fine (complaining about too few arguments which is in fact right but then came the ‘pro‘ command …

prostrct runs fine
[root@localhost remivisser]# prostrct
Too few arguments. (1370)
[root@localhost remivisser]#
 
pro command results in an error …
[root@localhost bin]# pro
/pro/product/101b/bin/_progres: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@localhost bin]#

Next section contains the solution, to get ‘pro’ executable working fine.

libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, Se Habla Español, Linux Para Todos, Gracias!

It took me quit a few hours to figure this one out, until google returned only ONE entry, in Spanish … Thanks to the directions on this forum thread I managed to get ‘pro’ working.

See complete logging below which contains the following three steps:

  1. Run pro command with missing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 shared object error
  2. Install compat-libstdc++-296 using yum
  3. Run pro command succesfull without any errors!

Create a structure file

First create a structure file with a text editor.

Rules for creating storage areas and extents
When you are defining storage areas and extents in order to create a new database:

  • The minimum information required in a .st file is one schema area extent definition
    statement and one primary recovery (BI) area extent definition statement.
  • The minimum information needed to specify any extent is the storage area type and extent
    pathname. For example:
    If you do not define a primary recovery extent path in the .st file, the PROSTRCT
    CREATE utility generates an error.
  • You cannot use any of the reserved storage area names as application data storage area
    names.

So I created a structure file db01.st.

db01.st structure file
# bi file, location, variable size, size
b /m001/prodata/db01/db01.b1 v 1024
 
# schema area, location, fixed size, size
d "schema Area",32 /m001/prodata/db01/db01.d1 f 1024

Validate the structure file

The structure file can be validated for errors using the prostrct utility: 

$ prostrct create /m001/prodata/db01/db01 db01.st -validate
The structure file format is valid. (12619)
Device: /m001/, KBytes needed: 1088, KBytes available: 4811017 (12616)
There is sufficient free space to initialise the defined extents. (12618)

Create the database

Use prostrct create <fully qualified database location> <structure file> to create a progress database. 

$ prostrct create /m001/prodata/db01/db01 db01.st
 
Formatting extents:
   size                area name   path name
      8    Primary Recovery Area /m001/prodata/db01/db01.b1 00:00:00
    256              Schema Area /m001/prodata/db01/db01.d1 00:00:00
$ ls -la /m001/prodata/db01/
total 1128

Display database structure

Use prostrct list to display the structure of a progress database.

‘prostrct list’ listing
$ prostrct list /m001/prodata/db01/db01
Area Name: Control Area, Type 6, Block Size 4096, Extents 1, Records/Block 32, Cluster Size 1
   Ext # 1, Type VARIABLE, Size 32 KByte, Name: /m001/prodata/db01/db01.db
 
Area Name: Primary Recovery Area, Type 3, Block Size 8192, Extents 1
   Ext # 1, Type VARIABLE, Size 8 KByte, Name: /m001/prodata/db01/db01.b1
 
Area Name: Schema Area, Type 6, Block Size 4096, Extents 1, Records/Block 32, Cluster Size 1
   Ext # 1, Type FIXED   , Size 1024 KByte, Name: /m001/prodata/db01/db01.d1
