WTC Questions and Answers

Here are some common WTC questions and answers:
Q1: What is the transaction story for WTC between WLS and Tuxedo and how
does it differ from Jolt?
A1: In version 1.0 of WTC transactions may be started in WLS and will
"infect" Tuxedo with the same transaction. That implies that there is one
and only one commit coordinator, and that is in WLS. In version 1.0 of WTC
transactions originating
in Tuxedo via WTC is not supported. In version 1.1 of WTC transactions from
Tuxedo into WLS via WTC can be used, but only in Beta mode, as we will not
have done the required QA of "inbound" transactions. In order to use
inbound transactions in WTC 1.1 you will need to turn on the use of beta
features with an attribute called "UseBetaFeatures" on the WTC Startup class
in WLS.
This differs from Jolt in that while Jolt can start transactions in Tuxedo,
these transactions are not coordinated with anything in WLS. Hence it is
impossible to do a 2 phase commit which involves WLS resources and Tuxedo
resources with Jolt. Since Jolt does not have any means of invoking WLS
services transactions in that direction do not make sense.
Q2. How does the security mapping work?
A2: WLS and Tuxedo can share the same set of users (though they may be
administered differently in the two systems) and the users can propagate
their credentials from one system to the other. For example, if John Wells
logs into WLS then the services which he invokes in Tuxedo will have all of
the ACL permissions of John Wells as defined on the Tuxedo side.
Furthermore, if Jolene User logs into Tuxedo then any resources she attempts
to access in WLS via WTC will be checked against Jolene User's rights in WLS
land.
In order to accomplish this, a few things need to be set up:
1. You must be using Tuxedo 7.1 or Tuxedo 8.0 for this to work. Tuxedo 6.5
did not have the security infrastructure necessary to make this happen.
2. In your BDMCONFIG on the Tuxedo side you will need to set ACL_POLICY and
CREDENTIAL_POLICY to "GLOBAL" for the WLS remote domain. ACL_POLICY
controls whether or not a domain accepts credentials coming from a remote
domain and CREDENTIAL_POLICY controls whether or not we send credentials to
a remote domain. (In Tuxedo 7.1 there was no CREDENTIAL_POLICY - we always
sent the credentials to the remote domain).
3. In your BDMCONFIG on the WLS side you must likewise specify <ACL_POLICY>
and <CREDENTIAL_POLICY> to be "GLOBAL."
4. On the WLS side you must also configure a <TpUsrFile> which will point
to a file of the exact same format as the tpusr file generated by the
various Tuxedo commands to add and delete users. (Which also happens to be
of the same format as the unix /etc/passwd file). WTC needs this file
because in WLS users do not have user identification numbers or group
identification numbers. Hence we need a way to map WLS users into the
standard Tuxedo UID/GID appkey.
Voila! You have now set up your system such that users logged into either
system can be given access privelidges in the other system. This is known
as single sign-on. We are currently working on a way to better integrate
the two user databases between WLS and Tuxedo, and one day we will have
single administration and single-sign on!
Q3: How is the performance of WTC?
A3: Obviously, results will vary based on your machine, CPU, application
(i.e., transactions/no transactions) etc...
However, in the performance lab here we have seen WTC perform at levels that
nearly equal Tuxedo in a similar configuration. The performance is equal to
or better than Jolt, and will scale much better than Jolt because of the
concentration of network bandwidth.
Q4: What fail-over/fail-back mechanisms are there in WTC?
A4: WTC has many of the same fail-over fail-back mechanisms which /T
domains had. Any service can be offered by multiple remote domains, and if
a domain link is down we will attempt all of the backup domains. In /T
domains there was a limit of three backup remote domains, but in WTC there
is no limit to the number of backup domains you can configure for a service.
Furthermore, we support the connection policies of ON_STARTUP, ON_DEMAND and
INCOMING_ONLY. If the policy is ON_STARTUP then you can also configure a
retry interval and max-retries. We will attempt to connect to ON_STARTUP
remote domains every retry interval for a maximum number of retries before
giving up. If a domain is configured as ON_STARTUP or INCOMING_ONLY and the
connection is not currently established then no services will be routed to
that remote domain.
Q5: What support features are available in WTC?
A5: WTC has a tracing feature which can be enabled dynamically. If a
customer reports a problem, support will likely ask the customer to turn
tracing on and send a log file. This tracing facility has several levels of
severity and can also help debug WTC applications. It is turned on by
setting TraceLevel in the WTC startup class. The following are the defined
levels:
10000 - TBRIDGE Input/Output
15000 - TBRIDGE extra information
20000 - Gateway Input/Output (this will trace the ATMI verbs)
25000 - Gateway extra information
50000 - JATMI Input/Output (this will trace the low-level jatmi calls)
55000 - JATMI extra information
60000 - CORBA Input/Output (this will trace CORBA calls)
65000 - CORBA extra information
Q6: Will Jolt be deprecated?
A6: No. There are some features of Jolt that are not covered by WTC. For
example, the Jolt registry API are not supported by WTC. Furthermore WTC
must run in conjunction with WLS, while Jolt can be run from Applets or from
free-standing Java applications.
Q7: What about JCA? Is WTC a JCA adapter?
A7: WTC is not a JCA adapter. JCA does not define semantics for inbound
invokations into the JCA container, but WTC allows for Tuxedo clients to
invoke WLS EJBs. However, the jATMI object interactions are based on the
JCA client model. BEA is currently evaluating several JCA strategies for
connections into Tuxedo.

Q8. What versions of Tuxedo are supported?
A8. WTC 1.0 will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. WTC 1.1 (which adds
CORBA support) will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. Soon after the
release of both of these products we will certify WTC with Tuxedo 7.1.
However, the version of Tuxedo 7.1 you will need to have will be Tuxedo 7.1
after a certain patch level, which I don't know the number of yet. I will
attempt to keep the public informed about which patch level will be required
in Tuxedo 7.1
Q9. What WLS Releases will be supported?
A9. WTC 1.0 will be certified on WLS 6.0 SP2, WTC 1.1 will be bundled with
WLS SilverSword release (6.1?)
Q10. How will WTC be packaged?
A10. WTC 1.0 will be a separately downloaded binary (one for unix, one for
NT) that the user will have to install and configure in his/her WLS
environment. (Configuration will consist of putting the jatmi.jar file into
the classpath (as well as the normal BDMCONFIG configuration, of course)).
WTC 1.1 will be bundled right in there with the WLS SilverSword release.
Q11. When will WTC go live (no more beta)?
A11. This is a question for Jeff Cutler, but my impression is that WTC 1.0
will be shipped in the same time-frame as the Tuxedo 8.0 release and
obviously (see A10) WTC 1.1 will be shipped with WLS SilverSword.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • HT1420 i forgot my answers to my security questions, how do i setup new questions and answers?

    I have forgotten my answers to my security questions, how do i setup new security questions and answers?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. HELP!

    Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. It has been doing this for weeks, and I can't purchase anything! HELP!

    Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
    - Close iTunes, if it's open
    - Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
    - Select 'Security' on the top
    - Untick all the security options in the menu
    - Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
    - Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
    - Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
    - You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
    - Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
    Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
    I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
    I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

  • HT204053 I have forgotten my questions and answers for my password. How can I replace them. I want to use the same password I have ?

    I was on the phone for almost 2 hrs. yesterday because I had so many passwords I couldn't remember the one I used for itunes. The fellow helped me get it all straightened out but it still wouldn't let me get in because I couldn't remember the questions and answers. He was going to take care of it at that end and told me to wait 24 hours. So I'm at it again. I got into itunes but when I try to retrieve my previous apps,it wants me to put my password for that as well and then I'm in the situation with it not accepting my password so when I try to change my password it then wants me to answer the question and answer so now I'm thinking I have more than a seizure disorder and it's driving me to the point of no patience. Can you help?

    You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

    Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
    You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

  • How to display the descriptions of a "question" and "answers" in the LMS?

    Hello, evevyone,
    I am new comer in Captivate 5.
    In order to analysis the result of "Learner response", we need known the “Question” and “Answer” description of each Quiz in a SCORM player.
    Does Captivate return these information back to LMS?
    For example :
    I have created a quiz with one question.
    Do you have a dog? ------->Question description
    (A)Yes   ----->Learner response
    (B)No
    After complete the quiz on LMS, Captivate will return the "Do you have a dog?" and  "(A)Yes" back to LMS ?

  • Hi. I'd like to change my apple ID security questions and answers.

    I have been told to go on appleid.apple or something of the sort and click change password and security but to change my questions and answers I need to answer to the questions, which i can't because i don't  remember them. Pls help!

    Well, I had the same problem. I got on here to see if someone could resolve my problem and I didn't get a good answer I could use. Then I came up on a conversation of this exact question. Everybody answering the question said that you couldn't. Then somebody mentioned calling Apple. So, I did. I set up an appointment online for them to call me at a certain time. They called and retransfered me over to a different department and I got my problem resolved. They are very friendly and stayed on the phone with me until it was fixed. They will still ask you the questions and just tell them that you honestly can't remember them. They reset mine and I made different questions and answers,just make sure you write them down this time!!!        -I hope this helps!!!
