Load orbcmd.nlm (the ORB Command utility) at the server console to enable the Novell® Object Request Broker (ORB) on the server. An ORB is necessary to develop and distribute CORBA*-compliant distributed-object applications.
The ORBCMD automatically loads other NLMTM programs on the server, including the Novell JVM, and enables the use of VisiBroker CORBA commands at the server console.
You must load the orbcmd.nlm before you can use any other ORB-based application clients, servers, or tools.
[LOAD] ORBCMD
To use the Novell ORB, you must also start the Smart Agent, which provides the Novell ORB's directory service and failure detection services. After you load ORBCMD, enter the following at the server console:
[LOAD] OSAGENT
To distribute and run CORBA-compliant applications on the network or to provide a development environment for CORBA applications, you will need the Open Solutions Architecture (OSA) Software Developers Kit (SDK).
The OSA SDK contains the client component of the Novell ORB, development tools, and Visegenic online documentation for developing and administering CORBA-compliant Java*-based applications.
You can download a copy of the OSA SDK free of charge from the Novell DeveloperNet World Wide Web page or contact your Novell Authorized ResellerSM representative.
