Announcing TPS Tuxedo Toolkit

Question

Dear Group:
TPS, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of its Tuxedo
Toolkit. The Toolkit is a ready made Tuxedo infrastructure to build
applications with. It's intended to help new Tuxedo developers get past
the learning curve, and for company's with multiple projects it provides
a single common infrastructure that all teams can use.
Some of the Toolkit's features include:
* Automatic XA: By simply changing a command line switch when the
server boots, you can go from No-Transactions, to SQL transactions,
to XA. The Toolkit code takes care of the navigation. You can
actually test the performance differences between XA and SQL
transaction modes simply by rebooting.
* TPS Service Shield: A ready made Tuxedo Service with Production
Quality features built in (Logging, Metric Gather, Security, HA,
etc.). The Application Programmer simply write a series of C
functions with the appropriate Business Logic, and the Shield takes
care of all the Tuxedo stuff.
* Makefiles: Automatic compilation of VIEWs and FML definitions,
UBBConfig files, and Domain config files. You can create a
UBBConfig file and move it to any machine or directory, and
recompile it without changing any of the Machine specific
parameters. This allows development team members to work
independently, yet with a common test suite.
* Unified Error Reporting: A common means of trapping and reporting
Tuxedo, DBMS, OS or Application errors, and then having those
errors flow back through all the Tuxedo layers to the originator
(client).
* Pre-built Servers: Servers already coded to do CRON Jobs, Logging,
and Metric Gathering and Reporting.
* DBMS Toolkit: Toolkits for integrating a DBMS into Tuxedo and the
Tuxedo Toolkit. Currently supporting Oracle 8.x. DB2, Informix, &
Sybase support to come.
Now, for what I think are the best features:
* Source Code: The entire Toolkit is provided in source form. This
way you get to see all the inner workings. Unlike Application
Generators and 4GLs that can often get in the way, if you don't
like the way something works, or if you need to do something we
didn't think of, you're free to change it.. All we ask is that you
send changes back to us for possible inclusion.
* No Charge for Development: You are free to download--given that you
agree to the license agreement--and experiment with the Toolkit all
you like, pretty much for as long as you like--6 month eval period
with extensions allowed.
* Documentation: We used a real nifty tool called Doxygen from
www.doxygen.org that scans a source source tree and processes
comments inside the code and then generates HTML, MAN Pages, PDF,
and Microsoft Help files simultaneously. The output of the source
files contain hyperlinks to all functions inside the code. So, as
you are looking at a piece of code and come across a function that
you are curious about, you simply have to click on it to be taken
to its definition and the actual code. This makes maintenance a
breeze.
* Production License: You only pay if you use the Toolkit inside a
Production Application. Which of course we hope you will. In
return, that pays for TPS support during Deployment and Operations,
which are the most critical phases of Tuxedo development. It also
pays for maintenance and upgrades to the Toolkit with new ideas and
features.
TPS, Inc. has been consulting with Tuxedo for about 10 years, and we
developed this Toolkit for own business. We having client after client
building their own Infrastructure or needing one for creating Prototype
applications. So we've been using it for several years now. Gauging by
the FAQ in this group, we realized that we have an answer to many of the
questions. So we've decided to make the Toolkit available to everyone
for a nominal charge. Even other consulting companies can use it free
of charge for creating Prototype Applications--they're not Production.
I founded TPS, Inc. to help clients navigate through the wilderness of
building Tuxedo based OLTP applications, and make a buck or two along
the way. Providing the Toolkit to developers seems like the logical
next step. So enjoy.
Feel free to pass on any comments, questions, suggestions, flames,
etc. TPS, Inc. believes in Openness.
Cheers.

Answer 1

Sorry Todd, I started the installation from a telnet session (from my windows based PC) so that is why Java was having all sorts of issues.
I have installed tuxedo successfully.
Now I am trying to run the simpapp and facing issues in that :)
When I run tmloadcf ubbsimple on the command prompt, I get the following error:
============================
$ /home/sibusr/tuxedo11gR1/bin/tmloadcf /home/sibusr/tuxedo11gR1/samples/atmi/simpapp/ubbsimple
PATH=
^
syntax error
CMDTUX_CAT:866: ERROR: /home/sibusr/tuxedo11gR1/bin/tmloadcf: Severe error found. Stop syntax checking.
$
============================
any idea why it cannot find the tmloadcf?
Thanks,
Ahsan
