Getting Started with Oracle Tuxedo

Overview of this book

The client server or Tuxedo has existed for the past few decades and it is expanding every day! Today, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) or Service Component Architecture (SCA) are considered to be the new approaches to build client server architecture, Tuxedo adopts this concept and can be extended very easily. "Getting Started with Oracle Tuxedo" shows how to develop distributed systems using Tuxedo and extend that to SOA or even a Cloud environment. The primary objective of this book is to show how to develop distributed systems using Tuxedo and extend that to a SOA environment. It also gives fundamentals of Exalogic machines and how Tuxedo application can leverage these new high end machines for enterprise needs. This book introduces you to the client server technology and how it has evolved in past decades. The book also covers various Tuxedo installation procedures, hardware and software requirements, and then how to configure Tuxedo application, all parameters with their syntax and relevant values. You will be introduced to various Tuxedo administrative tools, which are very important for a Tuxedo Administrator to perform his daily work, and with tuning suggestions and best practices. Next comes, Tuxedo APIs to build your applications, combining client and server modules. The book then covers the SALT component, which allows external web service applications to invoke Tuxedo services, and similarly Tuxedo applications can invoke external web services. At the end we discuss briefly the Exalogic machine and its architecture and how to configure and deploy Tuxedo application in this environment.

Monitoring and changing a Tuxedo application


The administrator needs to be able to constantly monitor and tune parameters, add or remove a user, deploy or undeploy an application, and create or change queues, access control lists, and so on. The Tuxedo MIB contains all the information needed for the operation of an Oracle Tuxedo application. There are two different administrative tools that access the MIB and allow for dynamic configuration of a Tuxedo application. The third one is the Tuxedo Admin Console, which has not been updated since Tuxedo 8, and hence it is not included in our discussion.

The following is a list of the MIB's components:

  • WS_MIB: For workstation groups and the processes associated with them

  • ACL_MIB: For administrating access control lists

  • APPQ_MIB: For administrating queues

  • EVENT_MIB: For event notification and the subscription request database

  • DM_MIB: For administrating the Tuxedo domains' (multiple-domain) configurations
