What You Will Learn In This Session

What is jBASE?
The T24 architecture – An overview
Logging on to jBASE
jBASE directory structure
jBASE daemons
jBASE environmental variables
jBASE .profile file

 jBASE Database
Post Relational Database Management System
Supports multi value and sub value (Non fixed length
fields)
Development environment
Create ,compile and execute programs
Extension of the operating system
jsh (jshell – Can execute most of the operating system
commands)
Open database – Can communicate to other databases
jEDI Driver
Uses the ‘C’ compiler to compile code
T24 uses jBASE Database to store data
www.jethroltd.com
 jBASE Runtime
Run time environment of j4 (Like JRE)
T24 resides on the jBASE Run Time Environment
Enables T24 to communicate with j4 (database)
Embedded as part of j4

 Logging Onto jBASE
Log on to Unix
User name and password are verified (/usr/etc)
.profile file is executed from the home directory of the user
.profile has the jBASE environment set
www.jethroltd.com
 jBASE Directory Structure
/jbase<release number>
bin config lib tmp dev
jspooler
Does not get installed automatically
www.jethroltd.com
jBASE Directory Structure
Below JBCRELEASEDIR (/usr/jbc, c:\jbase30)

 config - Configuration information
 dev - Device control files
 src - Example source code files
 include - Include header files for compilation
 bin - Binary executables. jBASE commands
 lib - Shared libraries
 man - Man pages for Unix, html help for Windows
 tmp - Work file directory for runtime
 misc - terminal definitions for Windows
 samples - OBjEX examples for Windows
/usr/jspooler (Unix), c:\jspooler (Windows)

Logging on to jBASE
 All users are assigned a port when they log on to the

server
 jBASE assigns port when user logs in
 Port numbers are picked up from a file called “port0-499”

found under the “$JBCRELEASEDIR/proc” directory
 Set the environment variable JBCPORTNO in the .profile

to a certain value if you always to use a particular port
number
 JBCPORTNO = 1000-1005
 JBCPORTNO = 1000,1001,1002,1003,1004,

jBASE Environmental Variables
Used to help jBASE

Locate files
Locate c compiler
Identify user name and port if necessary
Define emulation
Establish paths
Determine restart programs
Set universally and/or by individual user

at logon
www.jethroltd.com

 JBCRELEASEDIR
 Holds the directory where jBASE has been installed.
 JBCRELEASEDIR = /usr/jbc
 Link is usually created to point to the directory where

jBASE has been installed to facilitate configuration of
profiles and upgrading jBASE
 ln –s /jbase415 /usr/jbc
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCGLOBALDIR
 Contains the path to the config directory of jBASE
 JBCGLOBALDIR = /usr/jbc
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCDEV_BIN
 Path where jBASE places your cataloged programs
 Default HOME/bin
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCDEV_LIB
 Path where jBASE places your cataloged subroutines and

functions
 Default HOME/lib
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCOBJECTLIST
 Search path locating user subroutines

 This is used during program execution
 Typically the same as JBCDEV_LIB
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 PATH
 Unix variables
 Holds the path of the executable files of Unix and jBASE
 PATH = $PATH:/usr/jbc/bin
 Always APPEND values to the PATH variable
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 LIBPATH
 Holds the path of the jBASE library files
 Operating system specific
 Temenos convention
 All the 3 variables are set in the .profile file or the
remote.cmd file. J4 picks up the appropriate variable
depending on the operating system
 LIBPATH = /usr/jbc/lib (AIX)

 SHLIB_PATH = /usr/jbc/lib (HP)
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/jbc/lib (Others)
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCSPOOLERDIR
 Holds the path to the spooler directory of jBASE
Option 1 : JBCSPOOLERDIR = /usr/jspooler

(or)
Option 2 : JBCSPOOLERDIR = /usr/jbc/jspooler
Depending on the spool requests, make the jspooler directory T24

environment specific or jBASE release specific or in any desired
directory.
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCBASETMP
 Holds the path of the ‘tmp’ directory of jBASE
 Is hardcoded to point to $JBCRELEASEDIR/tmp/jBASEWork
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JEDIFILENAME_MD
 Holds the path of the VOC file
 JEDIFILENAME_MD = $HOME/VOC
 ($HOME – Home directory of the T24 user)
 VOC – Vocabulary
 Know as Master Dictionary
 Contains various types of entries
jsh…>LIST VOC
jsh…>LIST VOC WITH TYPE = ‘F’
jsh…>LIST VOC WITH TYPE = ‘PA’
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 PA – Paragraph
 A paragraph is a series of sentences stored together
under 1 name
jsh >JED VOC TR01

PA Paragraph Entry
EX Sentence 1
DATA TRAINEE01 Sentence 2
DATA 123456 Sentence 3
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 F – File Pointers
 Point to a file
JED VOC FBNK.CUSTOMER

F
../mbdemo.data/st/FBNK.CUST000
../mbdemo.dict/F.CUSTOMER]D
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com
 JBCLISTFILE
 Contains the path of the &SAVEDLISTS& directory that is used
to store select lists
 JBCLISTFILE = $HOME/&SAVEDLISTS&
The value of this variable can be changed only in the .profile and not
at the jshell prompt
www.jethroltd.com
www.jethroltd.com

There are other environment variables that are used
for specific jBASE functionality
jRFS
Spooler
Large files
Distributed files
Etc
Some of these will be discussed with the appropriate
