Using XA transactions with WebSphere MQ in standalone Java

Question

For using XA transactions with WebSphere MQ in standalone Java I am doing below step and getting error as xlc not found

step 1- Prepare the XA switch files

For linking object files to their corresponding database libraries. I am executing below command

install path of websphere MQ/java/lib/jdbc>make oracle

I am getting below error

xlc: not found

I am not sure if xlc is installed in my machine. My machine is AIX 6.1. But I can find xlcpp in my machine. how to proceed?Is there any way to create switch file?

If I execute $ /usr/ccs/lib/cpp -help

I am getting

1506-173 (W) Option help is not valid. Enter xlc for list of valid options.

Answer 1

Dwayne has it mostly right but I believe xlc++ also has a version of xlc. I see in your other question that you have xlcpp so perhaps what you need to do is add /usr/vacpp/bin to your PATH.

I also tend to use grep with lslpp:

lslpp -ch | grep vac

should tell you which xlc, xlcpp, etc you have installed.
