Error: Cannot load program with PurifyPlus on AIX

 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
This technote explains how to resolve a Cannot load program error that can occur when using IBM Rational PurifyPlus on the IBM AIX platform.
 
Symptom
When running an application instrumented with IBM Rational PurifyPlus on AIX, you receive an error similar to the following:

    Cannot load program myApp.pure because of the following errors:
    0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libxerces.so_pure_p7_c0_109122356_32 could not be loaded.
    0509-026 System error: There is not enough memory available now.
 
Cause
This error typically occurs when the instrumented application is too large, thus exhausting the system's resources.
 
Resolving the problem
To resolve this problem, you should instrument some modules in "exclude" mode. This allows for the least amount of instrumentation possible for a given module. To determine which modules to instrument in "exclude" mode, you should look for third-party libraries or any modules you are not interested in collecting data on.
To specify which modules to instrument in "exclude" mode, use the following two options:
    -selective
    -exclude-libs=<colon-separated list of modules>

For example, to instrument the binary myApp and exclude the libraries abc.so and xyz.so, you would run the following command:

purify -selective -exclude-libs=abc.so:xyz.so myApp
