Before you attempt to use Connect TPS, you must set the ROOTDIR and PATH environment variables as the following example illustrates:
ROOTDIR=/usr/tuxedo; export ROOTDIR
PATH=$PATH:$ROOTDIR/bin; export PATH
Of course, you should set ROOTDIR to the actual path where your BEA TUXEDO and Connect TPS software is installed. You may also need to set the LANG environment variable if you have generated custom mapping tables and/or message catalogs. Some platforms may require that LANG always is set. Consult your operating system documentation for the appropriate LANG value.
Connect TPS is invoked when you boot the BEA TUXEDO system (by using the tmboot command). For example:
tmboot -y
Prior to using the tmboot command to invoke Connect TPS, you must configure the feature. See Chapter 3, "Installing and Getting Ready to Configure BEA Connect TPS," and Chapter 4, "Configuring BEA Connect TPS," for details.
To test connectivity with remote BEA TUXEDO regions, you can invoke the following commands and subcommands in the following order:
See Chapter 6, "Administering BEA Connect TPS," for details.
Note: You cannot use the ping subcommand to test connectivity with systems which use gateways other than Connect TPS.
