fastbind not working properly

[Umesh chandra]

We are using Tuxedo on HPUX 11.0 Env.
We compiled the Tuxedo Server as per normal practice[i.e w/o fastbind directive]. After this we executed the foll. command :
fastbind
and also set the fastbind env variable to verbose mode.
The fastbind command did not show any output/error. Then on executing the tuxedo server, no message w.r.t fastbind was shown. This resulted in confusion - thus we decide to invoke the fastbind directive at compilation time using +fb directive. This compilation stopped with the foll. error :

/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: no fastbind data.

Are we correct in our approach??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Before running ld with +fb option , Have you killed the running executable in your previous
attempt i.e tuxedo server.
TO check.
#ps -ef | grep executable

Follow this steps.

#fastbind -n executable ( Remove previous FB info)

Now try linking with +fb directive now. any errors ?.

Actually , if the executable runs without any errors after this step
#fastbind executable

means that fastbind is sucessful.

Other way to find out the fastbind change is
note down the executable file size before giving fastbind command and after . It should Increase.

We tried the way you had mentioned .
there is no increase in the size .
Pls. suggest , some other way by which we can verify whether "fastbind" is happening or not !!

Hi,

Another method

1)Before fastbind :-

#timex executable

Note down the time for execution


2)After fastbind:-

#timex executable

Note down the time for execution


Results of step 2) should be lesser than the results of step 1) if fastbind is working.
