Tuxedo buildserver : use SQL in cobol applics

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to use SQL through COBOL applications in a Tuxedo (8.0) environment.
I've added the ODBC libpath to the buildserver command. The execution/compilation of the buildserver seems to be ok, but upon execution of the cobol program the SQL CONNECT fails with SQL-error err 10000.
I have no idea how to make SQL work ? Can anyone help ?
I read about RM (resources manager), is this required to make it work ?
thanks !

Our platform is HP/UX and we use SQL/COBOL outside tuxedo without problems.
This is the make file :

The normal way to use Tuxedo with an XA-compliant resource manager is to
1. Have the Tuxedo administrator add a line for the resource manager to the
$TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file including the resource manager name, XA switch
name, and libraries required for linking.
2. Build servers using the resource manager with the "-r rmname" line.
This will include the resource manager lines specified in
$TUXDIR/udataobj/RM in the buildserver line, and the application will not
need to manually provide the libraries to buildserver.
3. If using transactions, have the Tuxedo administrator build a TMS process
for the RM using the buildtms command, or do this yourself. If not using
transactions, this step can be omitted.
When a server is built with the "-r rmname" option, Tuxedo will
automatically call TPOPEN to connect to the resource manager within
TPSVRINIT.
(The only exception to this is if the application programmer replaces the
default verion of TPSVRINIT with their own version and does not include a
call to TPOPEN, so it is good to verify that this is not the case.) Since
Tuxedo opens the resource manager when the server is started, there is no
need to include SQL CONNECT statements within the application logic in such
a server.
If your resource manager is not XA compliant then you will need to manage
connection to the database yourself, but most databases are XA compliant
nowadays.
