Release notes for BMX 2.21 - released December 10th 2010

*** IMPORTANT ***
DO NOT INSTALL ON RPMS. THIS RELEASE IS FOR VISTA SYSTEMS!
*****************

BMX.net is a broker and a software library that allows programs in .net to communicate with Vista. BMX.net support regular RPC's, SQL statements, and ADO.net updatable datasets. The user is referred to Indian Health Service's documentation for BMX:

        - Programming manual: http://www.ihs.gov/Cio/RPMS/PackageDocs/bmx/bmx_020u.pdf
        - Technical manual: http://www.ihs.gov/Cio/RPMS/PackageDocs/bmx/bmx_020t.pdf

Release 2.1 adds support for GT.M.
Release 2.2 fixes several bugs:
 - Selection of division works properly now with BMXNet22.dll
 - Timeouts are better now so it won't leave processes hanging
 - Process name is now set upon connection
Release 2.21 screens errors to log in the trap. It also makes a small fix that broke compatibility with Cache.

*** IMPORTANT ***
BMX support for GT.M uses xinetd listeners; not listeners managed by the Mumps environment. As such, the installation instructions provided by IHS won't work for GT.M.
*****************

Pre-requisites:
        Fileman v22
        Kernel v8
        XB/ZIB v3 or above

2. Install Xinetd
=================
User is referred to their OS's documentation

3. Configure listener in Xinetd
===============================
Create a file in /etc/xinetd.d, with whatever name you like. I called mine BMX10502, because that's the port I am going to use. Here are the contents (don't include my comments)

service BMX10502
{
    socket_type     = stream
    type            = UNLISTED
    port            = 10502 (that can be whatever you want it to be)
    protocol        = tcp
    user            = xxxxxxxx (that's a unix user who has access to run GT.M)
    wait            = no
    disable         = no
    server          = /bin/sh
    server_args     = /opt/wv2/BMX10502 (that's the location of the script that this listener will launch when it gets a TCP call on 10502)
}

4. Configure shell script that that is called by Xinetd
=======================================================
Create a script that looks like this.
The essential lines are the ones defining gtm_dist, gtmgbldir, gtmroutines, and $gtm_dist/mumps - run XINETD^BMXMON. XINETD^BMXMON is the entry point responsible for receiving TCP calls from XINETD.

#!/bin/bash
# BMX Broker started by Xinet.d
cd /opt/wv2
date >> /opt/wv2/bmx.log

# Get GT.M profile
export vista_home="/opt/wv2"
export gtm_dist="/opt/gtm"
export gtmgbldir="$vista_home/g/mumps.gld"
export gtmroutines="$vista_home/o($vista_home/p) $vista_home/o($vista_home/r) $gtm_dist"

# Run
$gtm_dist/mumps -run XINETD^BMXMON 2>>/opt/wv2/bmx.log
exit 

Note: If you install XWB 1.1 patch 100001, you can use the CPRS listener. XWBTCPM will decide which protocol it is and route it accordingly.

5. Add BMXRPC to the user's menu
================================

TESTING BMX.net
===============
In the package, there is a C# file called bmxTesterForVista_0200.cs and a .Net dll called BMXNet20.dll.
To compile the file on Mono, use the generics Mono C# compiler (gmcs), referencing BMXNet20.dll and System.Data.dll. To compile on Windows, use csc with the same arguments.

        gmcs /r:BMXNet20.dll,System.Data.dll bmxTesterForVista_0200.cs

Then you can execute it:

mono bmxTesterForVista_0200.exe
Enter IP Address of Server: 127.0.0.1
Enter the listener port: 9260
Enter your Access Code: vistais#1
Enter your Verify Code: catdog.22
