Orbix 3.3

All Supported Operating Systems

The psit command line utility is used to display information about all of the running servers that a particular Orbix 3.3 daemon knows about.

In Orbix 3.3 if the servers (C or Java) are launched through the Orbix daemon  (orbixd) then the PID of the server process can be figured out, so the PIDs will be properly shown in the psit output.

If the Java servers are launched persistently (i.e. manually) the Orbix Java ORB runtime cannot figure out in a platform independent way how to get its own process’s PID as it needs this to register with the orbixd process, so it generates a large or negative (random) PID.

The following configuration parameters need to be added to orbixweb3.cfg from Orbix Java Edition 3.3.1 and onwards:

IT_USE_TRUE_PROCESS_PID
Type Boolean

This flag should be set to true, so as to get the real process pid of the Persistent Java Server via a custom library. When the value is false, a pseudo pid is generated by
Orbix Java Runtime. The Custom library is available in $IONA_ROOT/lib directory. The default value is false.

1.  This Config variable is to be set to "true" to enable the fix for Bug 52799, 57514 and 55681.

2.  If the Persistent Java Server is launched using -Xbootclasspath switch then:

On Solaris 2.7/ Solaris 2.8 libact.so should be copied to $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/sparc
On Tru64 libact.so should be copied to $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/alpha
On AIX 4.3.3 libact.so should be copied to $JAVAHOME/jre/bin
On HPUX 11 libact.sl should be copied to $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0
On NT 4.0 SP6 act.dll should be copied to $JAVAHOME/jre/bin

As an alternative, use java -Dsun.boot.library.path=$JAVAHOME/jre/lib<platform>:$IONA_ROOT/lib...
