ORACLE TUXEDO compatibility/coexistance question

Our existing PeopleSoft environment in
UNIX AIX 6.1
PS HRMS Tools 8.5 Application 9.1
PS Finance Tools 8.51 Application 9.1
We are preparing to upgrade only HRMS,
PS HRMS Tools 8.5 Application 9.1to PS
HCM Tools 8.54 Application 9.2
Question –
1. Will new ORACLE TUXEDO 12cR1 (12.1.1.0) work with PS Finance Tools 8.51
2. Can Oracle Tuxedo, Version (10.3.0.0, 64-bit, Patch Level 081- for PS Fin) coexist with ORACLE TUXEDO 12cR1 (12.1.1.0,64 bits)?

Hi,
For the PeopleSoft and Tuxedo 12cR1 question you will need to check with the PeopleSoft team as I don't know their version dependencies.
When you ask can Tuxedo 10 and 12 coexist, the answer is yes, although I'm not exactly what you mean by co-exist. They can be in the same MP domain, or in separate domains connected via the domain gateway. If they are in the same domain, then the MASTER machine needs to be the one running the later version of Tuxedo.

Question about oracle tuxedo salt the tag urn:inbuf /urn:inbuf

Hi folks.
How are the things going?
So, My working team is facing the following problem. We want to take in a SOA environment by using oracle Tuxedo. However, we have noticed that tuxedo always receives the data content inside of <urn:inbuf></urn:inbuf> no way can we have these tags though. the reason why is , by doing so, it would prompt our clients to change their calling interfaces. is there any way we can remove those tags from our inbound endpoint?
Todd Little-Oracle do you have any clue?
Bye.
Best regards.

Bruno, if you are using a recent version of SALT, you should be able to use the GWWS_WSDL_NO_BUF_WRAPPER environment variable to disable inbuf/outbuf/errbuf wrapping.
Set it to 'y' or 'yes' (export GWWS_WSDL_NO_BUF_WRAPPER=y)
I believe it is in SALT since 12cR1. It was done at the request of a particular customer, you can safely use it we will probably document this for general availability.

Oracle tuxedo and Oracle tuxedo message queue on top of a virtual machine.

Hi buddies.
how is it going?
A quick question.
So we are going to go live using Oracle Tuxedo 12.1.1.0 with Distinguished Bulletin Board Liaison and Oracle Tuxedo Message Queue 12.1.1.0 on top of a Virtual Machine (VMWARE) running Oracle Linux 6.2. However we want to know if there are any recommendations or mishaps in which we may face ahead by running Oracle Tuxedo on a virtual machine?
I mean, I am wondering if I have to worry about kernel parameters, virtual machine parameters or any other thing from which could mess up everything.
Another question.
Does oracle also provide virtual machines certification where Oracle tuxedo would run on top of ?
Todd Little-Oracle

Hi Bruno,
I'm not sure what you mean with Distinguished Bulletin Board Liaison. I'm guessing you mean a clustered or MP configuration? And is it truly a clustered configuration or just a single machine MP configuration?
Regarding configuration, are you using Tuxedo services as well or just Tuxedo Message Queue? The biggest issue related to OS configuration is around IPC resources. If you do a tmloadcf -c on your UBBCONFIG file, it will help you determine the minimum IPC resources required. In general I suggest configuring significantly more resources than the minimum to allow for future changes and for some of the parameters for heavier loads. In particular IPC message queue parameters are heavily dependent upon load. So make sure the maximum message size and queue size are large enough for your anticipated workload. You can monitor them under load using the ipcs command.
We don't certify virtual machine environment but support them as long as the VM vendor assures compatibility, which obviously VMware and Oracle VM both do.

Hi,
Tuxedo is unable to make any HTTPS calls other than SOAP/HTTPS. So if you are using web services, then SALT can perform SOAP/HTTPS calls, although I don't believe we support the message signing feature of WS-Security (although you might want to check the SALT 10gR3 or later documentation.)
We are considering adding support for HTTP/HTTPS directly in Tuxedo, but that feature is not available in any current version of Tuxedo. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Oracle Tuxedo Licensing

Hi All,
I am very new to Tuxedo and I need some guideline from you in licensing tuxedo 11g for a development system.
Our client is having an application whcih is currently running on Tuxedo 8.1 + Oracle 10g and it is as ATMI application. Currently we are having named developer licenses from BEA. They are planning to upgrade the system to Tuxedo 11g + Oracle 11g, keeping the old setup for a while. I am responsible for setting up a new developement environemnt using new versions. As BEA is aquired by Oracle I am not finding sufficient information to see how to so same kind of licensing with oracle.
Below are my question, which may look silly but I very new to this setup and really need your help.
1. Do I have to purchase licenses for developers purpose as I could see there are some options under OTN that we can use the product for development free of cost and for running in production only we have to pay.
2. Is there any way to determine how many of my developer liceses are really being used in the server. I just want to confirm that current develoer licese are getting used by full extend.
3. If I need to purchase licenses, is it possible to have named developer liceses ? Is there any dependency for number of liceses on the server and onlice services or batch jobs.
Thanking in advance,
Siju

Hi,
Although I'm not a licensing expert by any means, from what I read of the OTN license, you can no longer develop your application with an OTN license once the application you are developing has been started to be used. For more details on the OTN license and what it grants, see: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/standard-license-152015.html
As for other licenses, I believe in general that most Oracle software products are licensed either on the number of cores the product is running on, or on a named user basis. For production, pre-production, testing, QA, and development and disaster recovery, you will most likely need licenses.
Again, your Oracle Sales Executive or local distributor would have the most accurate information. If all else fails, you might try contacting Oracle Sales at: [email protected]

Tuxedo domain sizing question

Background:
This is a Peoplesoft app (PT 8.5, Tux 10gR3, Weblogic 11g)
We are moving from 4 app server virtual machines which each hosted a tuxedo domain (4 vcpu each, actually getting slices from 8 physical cpu each) to one physical server with 12 cores (2 6 core procs). We only need this horsepower for 7 30 minute events per year (course registration). Otherwise a single domain is fine.
We ran a test last event that showed a physical machine significantly outperformed the virtual when given similar resources, So we have decided to employ a large physical server.
We intended to configure 3 Tuxedo Domains, mostl;y as it helps us compare to where we came from (Webserver VM will still host one domain) so we are effectively throwing 4 cpu at each domain. This comes from an understanding that we shouldn't have too many appsrv processes in one domain. We currently run a a pre-spun 25 appsrv procs each domain, and we get ok performance. From the looks of our physical server test, our performance will improve.
During the peak of the registration event, we have around 500 sessions, we limited to 225 active http sessions on the webserver, which acts as the valve to the event. Note: all previous events were on PT8.48, OAS 10g.
So , on to my question.
Is there a way to make a single larger domain, with say 50 or more appsrv processes (mostly to avoid the config maint) or does anyone have any recommendations here?
Any and all input appreciated.

Hi,
Take these comments with a large grain of salt as they are generalizations and not necessarily applicable to PeopleSoft. I'd really suggest asking this question in their forums as there may be PeopleSoft specific configuration constraints that I'm about to violate.
In any case a Tuxedo domain can range from a single machine with a single 1 core processor, to many machines each with many cores. Once you move beyond a single machine, regardless of the number of cores, you are in a clustered environment, or what Tuxedo refers to an MP domain.

Can Oracle Tuxedo repalce IBM mq connectivity from mainframe

Hi all,
I am new to Oracle Tuxedo i have some basic question we are facing some issues with the IBM MQ with mainframe .
Can we repalce IBM MQ and can we use oracle tuxedo . How end systems that are connecting to MQ will connect to Tuxedo did they use JMS?
Thanks
Phani

Hi Phani,
You don't need to use JMS to use Tuxedo's /Q facility. It is an option if you already are using JMS.
Any system that supports Tuxedo client install can access Tuxedo /Q queues. On the mainframe this could be done with the zLinux version of Tuxedo. Other systems such as AIX, Linux, Windows, etc., also have client kits that can enqueue and dequeue messages from Tuxedo /Q.
The WebLogic Tuxedo connector can:
1) take messages from a JMS queue and place them on a Tuxedo /Q queue
2) take messages from a Tuxedo /Q queue and place them on a JMS queue
3) take message from a JMS queue and directly call a Tuxedo service with that message
The performance of /Q is good, although how good depends upon the quality of service chosen. /Q supports both persistent (disk based) and transient (memory based) queues, and it also supports XA so /Q queues can be part of a distributed transaction (syncpoint in mainframe terminology.)
zLinux is not a widely used Tuxedo platform. However Tuxedo /Q is used quite a bit in projects where customers are moving their mainframe applications off of the mainframe and onto Tuxedo due to cost and performance concerns. Many customers headed down this path use our Application Runtime for Tuxedo (ART) which besides supporting the rehosting of CICS applications, also provides a JES-2 like batch subsystem that heavily uses /Q.
I believe you are currently doing:
non-mainframe MQ Series mainframe
application using MQ <====> Queue <=====> application using
API (MQI) Manager MQ API
What I'm suggesting is:
non-mainframe Tuxedo mainframe application
application using Tuxedo <====> /Q Queue <=====> using Tuxedo API
API to access /Q Manager to access /Q
Although the more common scenario when dealing with mainframes is to use the Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter (TMA). TMA provides a bi-directional transactional gateway between mainframe applications and Tuxedo applications. Using TMA, CICS applications see Tuxedo services as DPL or APPC based transactions, and Tuxedo sees CICS transactions as Tuxedo services. Thus a Tuxedo service (or client) can directly invoke a CICS transaction in exactly the same manner that it invokes another Tuxedo service. The service/client is unaware that the provider of the service invoked is actually some transaction running on CICS. Likewise a CICS application simply uses DPL or APPC to invoke a remote transaction, and that transaction actually ends up being a Tuxedo service running somewhere on Tuxedo. If using the SNA version of the gateway, one can use syncpoint level 2 for guaranteed integrity of updates made both on CICS and Tuxedo.

Oracle Tuxedo Security Best Practises

Hi,
I am new in Oracle Tuxedo. I searching about Tuxedo Security best practises. I found many informations in Tuxedo Documentation but if anybody have more informations, i am very interested.
Such as:
- ULOG files permissions => The Tuxedo administrator must not have write acces on this files but if I remove this right, does Tuxedo can write in this files ?
- tlisten.pw => What is the encryption type and can i add only one user password or more ? It's true that there is no user login ?
- tpsysadm and tpsysop => What do they serve ? and where are stored their passwords ant how can i change it ?
- Use of LLE/SSL => What is the best practise, use of LLE and SSL or just LLE, just SSL ?
Thanks a lot !
Best regards

Hi,
welcome to the wonderful (and sometimes byzantine) world of Tuxedo!
You have a couple of interesting questions and I'll try to shed some light on some of them. Disclaimer: I'll assume that you run Tuxedo on some flavor of Linux or Unix. If you're running on Windows, some of these thoughts won't make much sense to you, sorry about that.
When I install the Tuxedo software, I usually let a dedicated user (e g "tuxedo") be the owner of the installed software and files (include files, FML field definitions and so on).
When I create a Tuxedo application, I have a separate user account (e g "some_application") running each application. In this way, an application running wild cannot overwrite or delete any Tuxedo system files, neither another application's files, only its own files, due to file system permissions. In this case, "some_application" will execute your Tuxedo servers and also need to be the owner of the directory where the ULOG will reside (remember that the application need to be able to create a new file every new day).
The tlisten.pw file is not for "user" passwords, it's primary use is to authenticate the different (physical) machines working together in a bridged (clustered) Tuxedo application. It is also used in conjunction with TSAM monitoring, although I have no first-hand experience with that (yet). I've had problems trying to have more than one secret in the tlisten.pw file, your mileage may vary...
When it comes to tpsysadm and tpsysop, you should think of them more as roles rather than actual users. These roles may perform special actions (such as starting/stopping/re-configuring) in your application. Depending on your security settings, any user may (try to) act as tpsysadm and/or tpsysop. Any user passwords you may have are connected to the actual users rather than the roles tpsysadm or tpsysop. All this depends on your settings for SECURITY and AUTHSVC in your ubbconfig. There is no simple/easy answer here, I'm afraid... it all depends on how you have set up your security (USER_AUTH is a good start, but you need to supply an AUTHSVC in that case).
When it comes to encryption, my experience is only with LLE. It simply works. Using SSL I suspect there will be more challenges setting up certificates and such things. The way I understand it you either use LLE or SSL for a given type of communication (i e WSL or TDOMAIN), you can't use both simultaneously.
Hope this helps and I may be able to elaborate further if there's a particular area that seems particularly foggy :-)

What Exactly is Oracle Tuxedo?

Hi all,
Rencently i have been assingned to work on oracle tuxedo.I have no Idea what it is.
I have understood that it is used as a wrapper for COBOL , C and C++. Is that it, or is there anything else we could do with Oracle Tuxedo?
Thanx In Advance,
Rahul.R.Buddala

Hi Rahul,
Tuxedo is an application server for non-Java languages. Specifically what this means is that it provides a bunch of facilities that help customers build and deploy enterprise applications written in C, C++, COBOL, and with the SALT add-on applications written in Python and Ruby. As an application server, it provides containers to host your business logic written in those languages. It provides facilities to transparently distribute your application across a cluster of machines and to route and load balance requests across the machines in the cluster and the servers within a machine. If machines fail or network links fail, Tuxedo will automatically route requests to the remaining accessible servers in the cluster, thus providing extremely high availability. When those resources are returned to service, Tuxedo will automatically start making use of those resources, thus you get failover and failback. Tuxedo tends to be used where RASP (Reliability, Availability, Scalability, and Performance) are paramount in the application. Tuxedo customers regularly get 99.99% to 99.999% availability for their applications with some customers running continuously for years without an outage. As a highly optimized application server, Tuxedo can invoke a service in another process and get a response back in around 35 microseconds. That performance combined with Tuxedo's clustering capabilities allows it to be able to handle 100,000's of requests/second, as Tuxedo scales nearly linearly from a single process on a single machine, to clusters of clusters.
As one of the original SOA platforms, everything in Tuxedo is a service that is accessed by name. A client simply calls a service by name passing a buffer of information. Tuxedo automatically routes the request to the least loaded server that can handle the request and then automatically dispatches the request in the server to the business logic associated with that service. The service implementation then processes the request in the buffer and returns a buffer to the caller containing the response from the service. Requests can be made synchronously, asynchronously, queued, or one-way. Other services provided by Tuxedo include transaction monitoring to support distributed XA transactions, store and forward messaging with a variety of QoS options, pub/sub messaging, a variety of gateways to provide transparent access to MQ Series queues, SNA and TCP gateways to transparently connect to CICS and IMS applications, and Java connectors that provide connectivity to JEE application servers. Clients for Tuxedo services can be written in C, C++, COBOL, .Net, and Java.
With an add-on product called SALT, Tuxedo can support bi-directional SOAP/HTTP(S) web services, thus providing easy integration into other SOA environments. With SALT, existing Tuxedo services can be made available as SOAP/HTTP(S) services without any change to the existing Tuxedo servers. As for "wrappers", SALT does use wrappers, or more accurately stubs and skeletons, in its support of the SCA standards. This allows business logic to implemented as a simple C++, Python, or Ruby function and all of the messaging and buffer handling is handled transparently by the SALT generated stubs and skeletons. This can make it quite easy to take an existing monolithic application and break it up into a set of Tuxedo services with little to no changes to the existing monolithic application code.
Tuxedo also provides extensive management and monitoring capabilities, especially with the TSAM (Tuxedo System and Application Monitor) add-on which provides detailed end-to-end performance monitoring of a Tuxedo application.
Lately Tuxedo has been used by many customers to migrate their COBOL applications from legacy environments such as IBM's CICS and IMS on expensive mainframe systems to much less expensive distributed systems. Two recent Tuxedo related products ART and ART Workbench provide tooling and a runtime infrastructure to help in these migrations, which are performed with primarily or only automated code transformation that replaces mainframe specific APIs with Tuxedo compatible APIs. Thus the business logic remains untouched, and only the technical APIs are modified. These customers often find that their total cost of ownership of the migrated application is reduced by 50-80%, while still maintaining mainframe or better quality of service.
I hope that gives you an idea of what Tuxedo is. If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Todd Little

Where can I find Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench for Linux?

Actually it is in the absolutely wrong place , but I publish this in behalf of other people searching for this so they will not waste 2 hours like I did. It is , of course , under Windows platform products - if you search under Linux you will not find anything.

Oracle Tuxedo 8.1 With Oracle 11g Database

Hi,
I have an old application that must be compiled with oracle 8.1 and Oracle9i Database.
We are migrating to Oracle 11g Database, and now we have some inssues to compile with Oracle 11g Database. For example some Libraries that the Tuxedo XA Resource Manager needs from the Oracle Database, that just u can found on older versions like Oracle9i (kpudfo.o file).
what can be the solution for that problem?
An Oracle 11g database config or a Tuxedo config ?

Hi,
When you say "Tuxedo XA Resource Manager" I'm not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the Tuxedo transaction management servers (TMS) servers that are built with the buildtms command? If so, if there are linking errors, it has to do with either your library paths or the RM definition for Oracle Database in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file. Tuxedo itself only uses the XA switch from the resource manager such as Oracle database. Now the resource manager may require a bunch of libraries, which is why I suggested you check your library path. If the above doesn't help, can you post the error you are getting and what is generating/creating the error?

Installable for Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)

Hi,
Could anyone please help me to find the installable for "Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)", does this comes with the Tuxedo 10g installable or is it a separate plug-in that I need to download and install.
Regards,
Priyanka

Hi Priyanka,
The Tuxedo Mainframe Adapters are separably licensed products and not included in the Tuxedo kits. I'm not certain the mainframe adapters are yet available for 10gR3 (I'm checking on this), and for whatever reason the latest version I can find for download is the 9.1 version that can be downloaded from eDelivery.

Reference for writing COBOL prog with DB2 with ATMI calls for Oracle Tuxedo

Hi..
Am using IBM COBOL for AIX 2.0.0 on Oracle Tuxedo10g R3..
And for database IBM DB2 Version 8.2..
I have to write a program in Cobol with queries and with ATMI calls for Tuxedo..
I need some reference manuals for this or some sample program..
I also need the connectivity from cobol-DB2 to Tuxedo..
Can anyone send me link for the same?
The tutorial CSIMPAPP and STOCKAPP was really helpful..
Am searching for the similar kind..
Thanks in advance..
Edited by: user8103349 on Mar 19, 2009 8:43 PM

Hi,
Hopefully someone has some DB2 COBOL code to share. But in any case, using Tuxedo with COBOL and DB2 should be very similar to simply writing normal DB2 COBOL programs. The major difference is that Tuxedo will take care of making the connection to the database and should normally be allowed to perform all transaction management.
From a configuration standpoint you'll need to add the appropriate line in the Tuxedo RM file that lists how Tuxedo needs to link DB2 XA libraries into the application. The connection information is provided in the OPENINFO string passed along to the TMS that you need to build for DB2 with the buildtms command, and finally you'll need to build your servers with the -r switch to tell Tuxedo which XA libraries need to be linked into the application.
