Using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on Windows Server 2003

The following sections describe some basic differences between using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on a UNIX server system and using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on a Windows Server 2003 system:

 


Windows Considerations

Keep in mind the following general considerations when using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on a Windows system:

 


Configuration Issues

Keep in mind the following configuration issues when setting up the Oracle Tuxedo ATMI software on a Windows Server 2003 system:

 


Specifying Machine Type and User ID Numbers

In the MACHINES section of the configuration file, include the following three entries:

Note: These entries require different settings on a UNIX system.

Whenever you create a configuration file for an environment with both UNIX and Windows systems, include these entries in the MACHINES section for every Windows Server 2003 node in your configuration.

 


Using Network Drives

For reliability purposes, Oracle recommend that you do not use network drives. If, however, you try to start an Oracle Tuxedo ATMI application on a Windows Server 2003 machine in which the TUXCONFIG file resides on a network drive, you must set the following permissions:

 


Allocating and Releasing Memory Buffers

When allocating and releasing memory buffers on a Windows Server 2003 system, make sure each memory buffer is released from the same heap in which it was allocated. If it is not, a segmentation fault occurs.

For example, a memory buffer that is allocated using Falloc() must be released using Ffree(). If a memory buffer allocated with malloc() is freed using Ffree(), a segmentation fault occurs. The free() routine must be used, in the latter case, to free the memory buffer.

For more information about Falloc, Falloc32(3fml)and Ffree, Ffree32(3fml), see Oracle Tuxedo ATMI FML Function Reference. For more information about malloc() and free(), see the documentation delivered with your operating system.

 


Using the bankapp Driver

The bankapp program is a small example application bundled with Oracle Tuxedo ATMI for Windows Server 2003. Besides demonstrating the operation of Oracle Tuxedo ATMI and providing an example of Oracle Tuxedo ATMI application code, the %APPDIR%\UBB file generated by the bankapp driver (driver.exe is located in %TUXDIR%\APPS\bankapp\2003\driver) can act as a template for configurations for any new applications.

 


Starting Oracle Tuxedo ATMI Applications Automatically

When Oracle Tuxedo ATMI is installed on a Windows Server 2003 server system, it may be useful to configure the machine to start an Oracle Tuxedo ATMI application automatically when booting up your system using the srvany.exe utility program provided in Microsoft’s Resource Kit for Windows 2003. For configuration instructions, see srvany.wri and rktools.hlp.

To ensure proper operation of Oracle Tuxedo ATMI programs that start automatically when booting up, you must set the Oracle Tuxedo system environment variables %TUXDIR% and %NLSPATH%. Set these variables using the conventional Windows 2003 method or by using the Oracle Administration program, as explained in Setting and Modifying Environment Variables.
