- It creates executable files from files you loaded onto
the system in Step
2.
To run odxmake, follow these steps.
1. If you have not already done so, log in as the user you
created in Step
1:
$ login omnidex
Password: omnidex
2. Run odxmake, which resides in the /omnidex root subdirectory:
$ odxmake
3. odxmake checks to see which data drivers have been provided
in your product account and asks which drivers to link into
the Omnidex utilities. You may select any or all of the available
drivers. However, make sure that if the selected driver is
for a third party file management system (not POSIX flat files),
the corresponding vendor software (like Oracle) is present
on your system. The following sections describe the prompts
and the responses required to select each of the available
drivers.
If the message “Unable to locate the library file
libtermcap.a in the standard location /usr/ccs/lib/ “
is received, the following steps will need to be followed
before odxmake is able to properly create the Omnidex utilities.
1. Logon as root.
2. Copy the file $OMNIDEX_HOME/lib/termcap.src
to the directory /usr/lib/libtermcap/
3. Copy the file $OMNIDEX_HOME/lib/libtermcap.a
to the directory /usr/ccs/lib/
4. Create a soft link in /usr/lib/ pointing to
/usr/ccs/lib
example:
ln –s /usr/ccs/lib/libtermcap.a
/usr/lib/libtermcap.a
5. Create a soft link in /etc/ pointing to /usr/lib/libtermcap/
example:
ln –s /usr/lib/libtermcap/termcap.src
/etc/termcap
Installing the Oracle Driver
To select the Oracle driver, enter Y
for “yes” at this prompt.
Would you like the Oracle Driver (Y/[N])? y
odxmake asks you for the following information. Note that
default responses are enclosed in square brackets [ ]:
1. Oracle’s home directory
Enter the Oracle home directory [/u/oracle]:
2. The Oracle SID (system identifier)
Enter the Oracle SID [oracle]:
3. The version of Oracle you are running.
Enter the Oracle version 8.0 or [8.1]:
Depending on the version and home directory you specified,
a message similar to the following appears:
Link using Oracle 8.1 libraries in /u/oracle/lib

Installing the DB2 Driver
To select the DB2 driver, enter Y for “yes” at
this prompt:
Would you like the DB2 driver (Y/[N])? Y
odxmake asks the following questions. The default responses
are enclosed in square brackets [ ]:
1. The DB2 home directory:
Enter the DB2 home directory [/usr/db2]:
2. The name of the DB2 instance:
Enter the DB2 instance name [db2]:

Installing the POSIX
Flat File Driver
To select the POSIX or “flat” file driver, enter
Y for “yes” at this prompt:
Would you like the POSIX flat file driver Y/[N])?
Y
Omnidex uses POSIX routines that are part of the IBM AIX
operating system, so you do not need to provide any additional
information for the POSIX driver.

Finish the Driver Installation
When you are finished installing drivers, odxmake lists all
of the libraries and files that it is linking. Lastly, it
tells you that it is updating .profile to initialize Omnidex.
If you failed to install a driver, and would like another
chance, you can run odxmake again. Note, however, that at
that time you must also install all the previously requested
drivers as well.
