Creating Custom Relink Scripts for Drivers and Agents for Progress/OpenEdge

Custom relink scripts may be needed when our standard scripts are incompatible with your database installation and/or environment. The Progress probuild utility enables you to create such custom scripts.

1. Locate the buildenv script, typically found in the $DLC/probuild/eucapp directory.
   
2. Ensure that the environment variable settings in the buildenv script are accurate for your system.
   
3. Set and export
   
   

   
   PROLOAD=$DLC/probuild
   export PROLOAD
   

   
   
4. Type the following command at your command line:
   
   

   
   $PROLOAD/eucapp/probuild 
   

   
   
5. At the Install Link Script Into prompt, enter the full path to your ~/openlink/bin directory.
   
6. Click Continue.
   
7. Select ESQL/C Large Client Full from the product list.
   
8. Click Continue.
   
9. Give your relink script an appropriate name. For example:
   
   

   
   ldpro7
   ldpro8
   ldpro9
   

   
   
10. Give the executable to be produced an OpenLink-style Database Agent name. For example:
    
    

    
    pro73e_sv
    pro83b_sv
    pro91b_sv 
    

    
    
11. Click Continue.
    
12. Do not specify any special configurable elements.
    
13. Click Continue.
    
14. Locate the database agent object code in the /lib sub-directory of your OpenLink installation. Object code files are named similarly to pro7_sv.o, pro8_sv.o, and pro9_sv.o.
    
15. Enter the full path to the relevant Database Agent object code (proxxx_sv.o) under "Object Files.'
    
16. Click Continue.
    
17. Exit probuild.
    
18. Repeat the relink process with your new relink script.
