Scope

This Oracle Tuxedo 10gR3 for OVMS release supports all Oracle Tuxedo 10gR3 features generally available to all open systems, excluding the following:

CORBA is not supported in this release
GAUTHSVR is not available because OpenVMS does not support 64-bit JVM

32/64-bit Programming

Oracle Tuxedo 10gR3 for OpenVMS is 64-bit binary and supports 64-bit Oracle Tuxedo applications. If 32-bit OpenVMS APIs are required in an Oracle Tuxedo application (for example, getopt()), caution is advised. For example, if ARGV from the main function is a long 64-bit pointer, you must do the following steps:

Allocate its private 32-bit heap memory
Copy ARGV content to newly allocated 32-bit heap memory
Invoke getopt using the 32-bit allocated memory pointer to get the command line content.

For more information, see OpenVMS official documentation from HP.
