Aha - the "which" command. Great tip. So it turns out I do have files called "node" and "npm" in /usr/bin on my development LPAR and that is why it works globally for me (no symlinks though). Other LPARS exhibit the same issue that Kelly has - so I will get my Ops guys to investigate. On other LPARS I am also seeing things like "Dependent module libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6) could not be loaded." when attempting to install other node packages (like Sails).

I think this ptf SI55747 created the sym links for node and npm.
2) Make node and npm as global commands.

I seem to remember a later maybe applying the latest PYF the exit program must not have created them as it should have.
I actually went and called the exit program right from the QOPS library.(test system) That fixed up the links.

If the node command is in your path, use the "which" command to see where it is.

Kelly, I don't think you should be changing the path to the location of the node executable. Setting the path (as Aaron suggests) would be better. In the meantime I will try to find out why that isn't necessary on our LPARs.

I tried removing the CD from my script and it failed. I added it back
into
the script, and it worked.

Early installs of 5733OPS for Node.js didn't add symlinks in /QOpenSys/usr/bin for the node binary. Later versions add it.

An alternative would be to do the following:
export PATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin:$PATH
export LIBPATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin:$LIBPATH

I had to do the CD in my interactive sessions. Without the CD, it
didn't find the "node" command in the NodeJS bin directory.

I assumed that I would have to do it when submitting jobs in batch as
well. Maybe this is a wrong assumption on my part.

Great! Not sure why you do a CD to the QOpenSys folder though. I never
have to do that to run node or git.

Success!

I set the environmental variable in the start.sh script. The script
now looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/sh
export QIBM_MULTI_THREADED=Y
cd /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin
node /dir/sample.js

This worked. Thanks again for all of the help. :-)

Do I need to add the environment variable to the submitted job?


I would think so. Use SBMJOB to submit a CLLE program - set
environment variables there - then call QSH from the CLLE program and
pass the reference to your .sh file.
