Setting up the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector

This section provides an example on how to configure the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector for the default server on an NT platform.

Note: Unix users: make appropriate substitutions such as replacing the `\' with `/'

1. Create a WebLogic Tuxedo Connector configuration file. Save the file in the .\config\mydomain directory. A simple method to create this file is to copy a configuration file from one of the examples included in the distribution and edit it for your environment.

   • Copy .\examples\simpapp\bdmconfig.xml to .\config\mydomain\your_configuration_file.xml.

   • Update the DOCTYPE to reflect the fully qualified path of the wtc_config_1_0.dtd.

   • Make the necessary changes to match your application environments, including updating the NWAddr.

     Note: Tuxedo 6.5 users add an Interoperate element and set the element to Yes.

2. Save your_configuration_file.xml file

3. Validate the XML configuration file, enter the following command:

    > java weblogic.wtc.gwt.WTCValidateCF your_XML_configuration_file

4. Edit the .\config\mydomain\setEnv.cmd.

   • Add the pathname of the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector jamti.jar file to the CLASSPATH.

5. Edit the .\config\mydomain\startWebLogic.cmd.

   • Add the pathname of the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector jamti.jar file to the CLASSPATH.

6. Update the domain environment. Run the .\config\mydomain\setEnv.cmd

7. Start the default server. Run the .\config\mydomain\startWebLogic.cmd

8. Start the default console. Open the mydomain domain

9. Open Deployments > Startup & Shutdown

10. Create a startup class.

    • Set the classname to: weblogic.wtc.gwt.WTCStartup

    • Set the arguments to: BDMCONFIG=.\config\mydomain\your_configuration_file

11. Create a shutdown class.

    • Set the classname to: weblogic.wtc.gwt.WTCShutdown
