Oracle Tuxedo Release 10g Release 3 (10.3) includes the following new features and enhancements:
IPv6 is the next generation protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 (IPv4). The most obvious improvement in IPv6 over the IPv4 is that IP addresses are lengthened from 32 bits to 128 bits. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration.
For more information on using IPv6 with Oracle Tuxedo 10g R3, see Enabling IPv6 in the Oracle Tuxedo Administration Guide.
Two new APIs, tpappthrinit(3c) and tpappthrterm(3c), are provided for application-created thread in ATMI server to create and terminate separate Tuxedo context. In context created using tpappthrinit(3c), the application-created server thread can initiate service requests and define transactions.
For more information, see Programming a Multithreaded and Multicontexted ATMI Application in the Oracle Tuxedo Programming Guide.
Assists Tuxedo client administrators to monitor application validity at runtime. You can record application high water client count, current client count, and named users.
The CLOPT length of a Tuxedo ATMI server in UBBCONFIG is increased from 256 to 1024.
The field name length of an FML/FML32 buffer is increased from 30 to 254.
tlisten(1) password encryption
tlisten.pw file is system-encrypted. To add or change passwords, you must use
tlistpwd(1).
Allow re-configuring the listening address of the remote domain gateway without shutting down the local domain.
Local domain with a PERSISTENT_DISCONNECT connection policy will neither connect to nor accept connect request from any remote domain.
