Starting BEA TMA TCP Gateway

The following topics provide information about starting the BEA Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP Gateway (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP Gateway) product:

Setting Environment Variables

Before you attempt to use TMA TCP Gateway, you must set the TUXDIR and PATH environment variables as the following example illustrates.

Listing 6-1 Setting ROOTDIR and PATH Environment Variables

TUXDIR=/usr/tuxedo; export TUXDIR
PATH=$PATH:$TUXDIR/bin; export PATH
GWICONFIG=$APPDIR/gwiconfig;export GWICONFIG
BDMCONFIG=$APPDIR/bdmconfig;export BDMCONFIG
TUXCONFIG=$APPDIR/tuxconfig;export TUXCONFIG

You should set TUXDIR to the actual path where your BEA Tuxedo and TMA TCP Gateway software is installed. Set APPDIR to the application directory, similar to the UBBCONFIG file. You may also need to set the LANG environment variable if you have generated custom mapping tables or message catalogs. Some platforms may require that LANG always is set. Consult your operating system documentation for the appropriate LANG value.

Invoking TMA TCP Gateway

Perform a tmloadcf and dmloadcf to load the UBBCONFIG and the DMCONFIG files. Invoke TMA TCP Gateway using the tmboot command to boot the BEA Tuxedo system. Be sure to configure TMA TCP Gateway prior to using the tmboot command. For details, see the Configuring BEA TMA TCP Gateway section.

Administering the Gateways

BEA Tuxedo has a set of tmadmin and dmadmin commands for the administration of the TMA TCP Gateways. For detailed information about these commands, refer to the BEA Tuxedo Administrator's Guide and the BEA Tuxedo Domain User Guide.
