Prepare programs to run in i5/OS PASE

The steps you need to take to prepare AIX^® programs that run effectively on i5/OS™ vary with the nature of your program and your actual needs for i5/OS system-unique interfaces and functions.

If you are attempting to port an application to i5/OS PASE, you must first ensure that the application will compile using an AIX compiler. In some cases, you need to modify your program to achieve this requirement.

• Analyze your program's compatibility with i5/OS PASE
  The first step in an assessment of the portability of a C application to the iSeries™ server involves the analysis of the interfaces that are used in your application.
• Compile your AIX source
  You can install one of the AIX compiler products that support installation in i5/OS PASE to compile your programs in the i5/OS PASE environment.
• Copy the i5/OS PASE program to your iSeries server
  Copy AIX binaries that you want to run in i5/OS PASE into the integrated file system.
• Customize i5/OS PASE programs to use i5/OS functions
  If you want your AIX application to take advantage of i5/OS functions that are not directly supported by system-supplied i5/OS PASE shared libraries, you need to perform some additional steps to prepare your application.
