538 dave.sudlik 1.1 <p style="margin-left: 40px;">Registration 539 is performed by creating instances of the 540 registration classes that represent the provider module, providers, 541 capabilities, etc. to be 542 registered.  The easiest way to create a new 543 registration today is to copy from one of the existing registration
544 karl 1.6.8.1 MOFs.  See the <big><span 545 style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">pegasus/src/Providers/sample/Load</span></big>

547 dave.sudlik 1.1 several registration instance implementations that do work with 548 OpenPegasus 549 today.</p>
550 karl 1.6.8.1 <p style="margin-left: 40px;">Registration may be performed by creating 551 compiling the registration mof with either the on-line or off-line 552 Pegasus mof compiler.  It is recommended that providers be 553 registered with the on-line compiler because this allows pegasus to 554 validate the registration information.</p>
555 dave.sudlik 1.1 <h2><a name="note_bld_peg_lnx">Notes about 556 Building on Linux </a></h2> 557 <p style="margin-left: 40px;"> 558 To build OpenPegasus on Linux, ensure that you you have the necessary 559 environment
560 karl 1.6 variables set (eg. PEGASUS_HOME, PEGASUS_ROOT, 561 PEGASUS_PLATFORM).
562 dave.sudlik 1.1 For
563 karl 1.3 32 bit Linux, the definition of PEGASUS_PLATFORM is normally
564 karl 1.6 LINUX_IX86_GNU.   For 64 bit IX86  Linux the 565 definition 566 of
567 karl 1.3 PEGASUS_PLATFORM is normally LINUX_IX86_64_GNU.  Use the g++
568 karl 1.6 compiler to compile and link the executables. All of the supported 569 platform

816 dave.sudlik 1.1 <h2><a name="test_icu">Testing with ICU enabled</a></h2>
817 karl 1.6 <p style="margin-left: 40px;">ICU (International 818 Components for
819 dave.sudlik 1.1 Unicode) refers to the set of 820 libraries that OpenPegasus uses to run with globalization support. For 821 example, these 822 libraries are used 823 to 824 load messages in different languages, format currency and numbers 825 according to 826 a specific locale etc. In order to enable globalization, OpenPegasus 827 must be built with ICU enabled, ie. the right environment variables 828 must be 829 set prior to running "make". Refer to the GlobalizationHOWTO.htm in the 830 pegasus/docs 831 directory for details.<br> 832 </p>
833 karl 1.6 <p style="margin-left: 40px;">When users run "make 834 servertests"
835 dave.sudlik 1.1 to verify the integrity of an OpenPegasus download, a series of tests 836 are 837 run that 838 require the CIM Server to be running. These tests currently depend on 839 specific 840 messages returned from the CIM Server. When ICU is enabled, all 841 messages 842 come from the resource bundles and these usually do not match the 843 hardcoded default messages within OpenPegasus. These hardcoded default 844 messages are what the various test programs expect in order to complete 845 successfully. If the ICU-enabled CIM Server is started without 846 disabling message loading from the bundles, "make servertests" 847 will 848 fail. 849 In order to run "make servertests" 850 successfully with ICU enabled, an 851 environment variable called PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES must be 852 defined 853 prior to 854 starting OpenPegasus. Once 855 this is defined, when OpenPegasus starts, 856 dave.sudlik 1.1 all 857 messages generated will be the default hardcoded messages. This will 858 enable 859 "make servertests" 860 to complete successfully. Once "make 861 servertests" 862 is 863 complete, you should stop OpenPegasus and 864 then undefine 865 PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES. If this variable is left defined, 866 OpenPegasus 867 will not be able to load messages 868 using ICU resource bundles.<br> 869 </p> 870 <p style="margin-left: 40px;">When 871 running the "make unittests" 872 command with ICU enabled, the PEGASUS_MSG_HOME 873 environment variable must be set to the home directory where the ICU 874 resource bundles are built. By default the resource bundles are built 875 into directories below PEGASUS_HOME/msg, so that should be the setting 876 for PEGASUS_MSG_HOME.<font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br> 877 dave.sudlik 1.1 </font></p> 878 <hr>
