Hi,

We're running MQSI v2.0.1 on Solaris and are investigating the implementation of plug-in nodes. To do this, I did the following:-
- compiled the sample plug-ins;
- copied BipSampPluginNode.lil to /opt/mqsi/lib;
- bounced the brokers (we're running two on each machine);
- bounced them again ('cos they never come up cleanly);
- installed the gifs, properties files, WDR files and XML defs on my PC;
- created a message flow category;
- added the SampleSwitch and SampleTransform nodes to my Control Centre;
- checked them in and locked them within the Message Flow tabs;
- created a test flow;
- failed to deploy the test flow;
- bounced the config mgr;
- still failed to deploy the test flow.

I get the error:-

BIP2241E: Configuration message requests creation of message flow node type 'ComIbmSampleTransformNode' in message flow 'JG.TEST'; broker cannot create nodes of this type.

I was following the instructions in the Programming Guide and in the Business Integration Solutions redbook. I'm fairly certain that I've not missed a step but am now stuck.

How can I be sure that the BipSampPluginNode.lil file was loaded into the broker? Would it fail if there was anything wrong with it?

Can anyone help?

The compilation script I created went something like:-
__________________________
#!/usr/bin/ksh
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc; export CC
MQSI_ROOT=/opt/mqsi; export MQSI_ROOT
__CCI_SOLARIS__=1; export __CCI_SOLARIS__
SOURCE_DIR=/export/home/db2admin/jg
DEST_DIR=/export/home/db2admin/jg

$CC \
-I $MQSI_ROOT/include\
-I $MQSI_ROOT/include/plugin\
-I $SOURCE_DIR\
-c $SOURCE_DIR/BipSampPluginNode.c\
-o $DEST_DIR/BipSampPluginNode.o
$CC \
-I $MQSI_ROOT/include\
-I $MQSI_ROOT/include/plugin\
-I $SOURCE_DIR\
-c $SOURCE_DIR/BipSampPluginUtil.c\
-o $DEST_DIR/BipSampPluginUtil.o
$CC -G\
-o $DEST_DIR/BipSampPluginNode.lil\
$DEST_DIR/BipSampPluginNode.o\
$DEST_DIR/BipSampPluginUtil.o\
-L $MQSI_ROOT/lib\
-limbdfplg
chmod a+r $DEST_DIR/BipSampPluginNode.lil

It's the __CCI_SOLARIS__ thing that worries me. It's used in most of the sample functions but is not contained in any header file. I would not style myself a C programmer in any way, so am unsure how the programs are accessing it (in desparation I added it to the script above). Is this the culprit or is it a compiler-internal value and hence a red herring?

Thanks. Apologies for the length of the above - I'm trying to pre-empt the first level of questions
