Developing a custom server

This section describes the tasks you need to perform to create, build, debug, and install your custom server. It describes everything from writing the main() and user functions to putting your custom server into production on your Blueworx Voice Response system.

The tasks are:

• How to create a custom server (see How to create a custom server).
• How to create the main() function by writing it yourself, or by having Blueworx Voice Response generate it (see Creating the main() function).
• How to create user functions (see Creating user functions).
• How to use the supplied custom server subroutines (see Importing files into the custom server directory).
• How to import files into your custom server directory (see Importing files into the custom server directory).
• How to build your custom server (see Building a custom server).
• How to view the files generated by the build process (see Viewing the generated files).
• How to use the custom server debug utility to debug your custom server (see Debugging a custom server).
• How to trace your custom server (see Tracing custom servers), and how to interpret the trace (see How to interpret a custom server trace).
• How to edit a custom server definition (see Editing a custom server definition).
• How to install a custom server, and how to deinstall it (see Installing and deinstalling a custom server).
• How to put your custom server into production (see Putting a custom server into production).
• How to shut down custom server processes (see Shutting down custom server processes).
• How to use custom servers on a single system image (see Using custom servers on a single system image).
• How to change the AIX environment in which your custom server runs (see Changing the AIX environment of a custom server).
