Compiling an RPC Plugin and Putting It in the Correct Directory

You must compile the RPC plugin into a .dll file for windows or a .so file for UNIX-like operating systems.

You must copy the .dll (or .so) files to the server bin directory.

On Microsoft Windows, the directory is typically:

C:\Program Files\SybaseC8\Server\bin

On UNIX-like operating systems, the directory is typically:

/home/<userid>/sybasec8/server/bin

Since the Sybase CEP Server loads these files at startup, if the server is running when the files are copied, the server must be restarted to load these files.

You should thoroughly debug UDFs in a context other than the Sybase CEP environment since the Sybase CEP software contains no debugging information.

You must also update the c8-services.xml file to specify the library and function names. See the Sybase CEP Installation Guide for details about updating the c8-services.xml file.
