This checklist will help you make certain that the DSOM environment is set up correctly.

• Use the somdchk tool to verify the settings of various DSOM environment variables. Note that if the SOMIR environment variable contains relative pathnames, the client programs, server programs, and somdd daemon must be started from the same directory. (Instead, it is recommended that SOMIR contain full pathnames.)

• For all application classes, IDL must be compiled into the Interface Repository. You can verify that a class exists in the Interface Repository by executing "irdump<class>" on AIX or OS/2, or, on Windows, click on the IRDUMP icon and browse for the appropriate class. See "Registering class interfaces" for more information.

• An implementation (a server program and class libraries) must be registered with DSOM by running the regimpl utility. See "Registering servers and classes" for more information.

• Verify that all class libraries and networking libraries are in directories specified in LIBPATH.
