This document contains release notes for the BEA Tuxedo 10.0 release. It includes the following topics:
BEA Tuxedo software provides businesses and organizations that depend on mission-critical applications with the flexibility of proven programming interfaces and ease of extending these applications to SOA. This is complemented by a robust infrastructure which has proven over the years to provide virtually unlimited scalability, best performance in its class and highly reliable.
This topic includes the following sections:
BEA Tuxedo Release 10.0 includes the following new features:
BEA TSAM provides comprehensive monitoring and reporting for BEA Tuxedo system and applications. It includes two components: BEA TSAM Agent and BEA TSAM Manager.
The BEA TSAM Agent enables collection of various performance metrics for applications, including XA and non-XA transactions, services, system servers. The BEA TSAM Agent provides an open plug-in framework which can be used to customize performance metrics collection and send this information to management tools other than the BEA TSAM Manager.
The BEA TSAM Agent can be used in conjunction with the BEA TSAM Manger. The BEA TSAM Manager provides graphical user interface to correlate and aggregate performance metrics collected from one or more Tuxedo domains. It displays this information in real time.
This feature provides support for SSL encryption over all network links in Tuxedo where LLE encryption is available. For more information, see Introducing ATMI Security, in “Using Security in ATMI Applications.”
Generic AUTHSVR is a new Tuxedo system server (GAUTHSVR) that enables Tuxedo users to be authenticated with LDAP based directory servers without need to write custom code. For more information, see Implementing Single Point Security Administration, in “Using Security in ATMI Applications.”
The MQ Adapter provides bi-directional, transactional connectivity to and from WebSphere MQSeries. For more information, see Running the Tuxedo MQ Adapter.
Provides Tuxedo TDomain domain gateway features used to defend against DoS attacks, and Tuxedo Domain improved password pair configuration flexibility. For more information, see Introducing ATMI Security in “Using Security in ATMI Applications.”
In Tuxedo 10.0, buildclient/buildserver can accept COBOL source files and generate C stub code automatically using ACUCOBOL compiler version 6.2.0 or above. For more information, see buildclient(1) and buildserver(1) in the “BEA Tuxedo Command Reference.”
Tuxedo 10.0 PKI plug-in added support for OpenLDAP for X.509 certificate lookup. For more information, see Administering Security,Cert-C PKI Encryption Plug-In Configuration, Configure Certificate Lookup in “Using Security in ATMI Applications.”
Sending SIGKILL signal to a Tuxedo server may cause structural damage to the bulletin board if the process was updating the bulletin board when it was terminated. Tuxedo 10.0 introduces a new command utility, tpkill, to prevent this this accident from happening. For more information, see tpkill(1) inthe “BEA Tuxedo Command Reference.”
In previous Tuxedo releases, Tuxedo binaries were built without large file support on some UNIX platforms, hence Tuxedo system functions cannot create or open files larger than 2GB. Tuxedo 10.0 binaries are built with large file support on all supported UNIX platforms.
Before installing the product, be sure to review the product issues in “ Known and Resolved Issues.” For complete information on upgrading to BEA Tuxedo 10.0, see “Upgrading the BEA Tuxedo System to Release 10” in Installing the BEA Tuxedo System.
In order to perform a hot upgrade from BEA Tuxedo 8.0 to BEA Tuxedo 10.0, you must be running Tuxedo 8.0 rolling patch 22 at a minimum. If performing a hot upgrade from any other supported release to Tuxedo 10.0, there is no rolling patch level requirement.
You can download unsupported code samples and developer tools from the BEA Systems, Inc. dev2dev online site. Start on the following Web page:

If you do not already have a BEA dev2dev login, links are provided with instructions for free membership.
The BEA Tuxedo software consists of the following components:
The ATMI software enables you to build scalable ATMI applications using either of two programming languages: C or COBOL. This software includes the following components:
The CORBA software enables you to build scalable CORBA applications in the C++ programming language. This software includes the following components:
BEA TSAM Agent enables the collection of various performance metrics for applications including: XA and non-XA transactions, services, system servers.
BEA SALT allows external Web service applications to invoke native Tuxedo services (inbound), and conversely, allows Tuxedo applications to invoke external Web services (outbound).
BEA Jolt is a Java-based interface to the BEA Tuxedo system that extends the functionality of existing BEA Tuxedo applications to include intranet- and Internet-wide availability.
BEA SNMP Agent for BEA Tuxedo and BEA WebLogic Enterprise is a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent that enables BEA Tuxedo and BEA WebLogic Enterprise applications to be managed from an Enterprise Management Console.
BEA Tuxedo software runs on the platforms listed in the following sections. BEA has certified these platforms for development and production use with the BEA Tuxedo release 10.0 product. BEA can provide customer support only for these platforms. Note that although BEA has attempted to implement the BEA Tuxedo software in a manner that conforms to industry-standards, it is not feasible for BEA to certify its use with all third-party databases, ORBs, and other products.
Additional software ports and certifications will be made available after the initial release of BEA Tuxedo 10.0. For information regarding subsequent ports and certifications, please refer to the Platform Support information on the BEA web site at the following link:
Platform information is maintained under the “Requirements” option under the Tuxedo product page.
For more information, see the BEA Tuxedo 10.0 Platform Data Sheets.
BEA Tuxedo ATMI and CORBA C++ applications support the XA standard. This facilitates inter-operation with any XA-compliant software system including database management systems.
The following security software is supported:
When a product feature is deprecated, it is identified as a feature that will not be supported and may be removed in the next release of the product.
