Web Services on IBM AIX

Requirements for IBM® AIX®.

  • The "IBM C++ Runtime Environment Components for AIX" must be installed in order to use Genero Web Services. See the IBM support center for more information about downloading the component.

    Note: If not installed, you will get the following error message:

    Could not load C extension library 'com'. Reason: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

  • Due to an IBM issue on 64-bit platforms, the OpenSSL library is unable to open the system /dev/urandom device to generate a PRNG number.

    If you want to use security APIs in your GWS application (especially if you access a server in HTTPS), install Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD).
