• GEODE_HOME/bin in the execution path.

Running

1. Set the current directory to the pdxserializer directory in your example workspace.

$ cd workspace/examples/cpp/pdxserializer

1. Run the startserver.sh script to start the Geode server, create a region, and populate the region with sample data.

$ sh ./startserver.sh
/Users/user/geode/bin/gfsh

(1) Executing - start locator --name=locator
...
(2) Executing - start server --name=server
...
(3) Executing - create region --name=custom_orders --type=PARTITION
