    z39_server: Command not found; z39_gate: Command not found

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 19.01

    Description:
    z39_server: Command not found" and "z39_gate: Command not found".

    We had a problem with the rts32 executable being lost. We recreated it with create_rts. (See KB 16384-15458.)

    But after doing that, the www_server, pc_server, etc., were giving the errors:

    www_server: Command not found
    pc_server: Command not found
    <etc.>

    The following commands created these xxx_server executables:

    create pc_server
    create www_server
    create ncip_server
    create oclc_server
    create sip2_server
    create slnp_server
    create vst_server

    But there is no "create_z39_server" or "create_z39_gate" command. And when we try to start those, we get "z39_server: Command not found" and "z39_gate: Command not found".

    Resolution:
    The z39_server and z39_gate executables are created by the following commands:

    > asm z39
    > compile_z39

    (Prior to which, Ex Libris staff would need to do:

    > apm
    > source_decrypt_all <./alephm/source/z39 > <key> )

    Please note, however, that, as described in KB 16384-15458, the above did not work and there were subsequent problems.

    If you find that these create_..._server executables are missing, you should contact Ex Libris Support.
