In addition to the WEB GUI, BEA TUXEDO System
for Windows NT provides a control panel applet that you can use
to configure the BEA TUXEDO System for Windows NT. This chapter
describes how to use the applet to configure the following items:
Refer to the BEA TUXEDO Administrator's Guide to the
WEB-based GUI for a description of the GUI interface,
instructions on administrative tasks, a sample tutorial,
interactive forms for creating new administrative objects, and
reference information for all configuration tool folders.
To open the control panel applet, select Start
Control
PanelBEA TUXEDO.

NT Control Panel
The Machines Page enables the BEA TUXEDO
administrator to access any machine on the Microsoft Windows
Network running Windows NT, where the administrator has logon
privileges. The administrator can then set environment variables
remotely, determine the location of BEA TUXEDO event logging,
add/start/remove Tlisten services, and tune IPC resources. The
administrator can access a remote machine by locating the machine
on a network tree.

NT MACHINES Control Panel
If you know a machine's name, but not its
work group, click Select. Then type the name of
the remote machine on the Enter Machine Name window and click OK.

NT Enter Machine Name Box
All subsequent actions on other folders in
the control panel applet take place on the selected machine.
Modifying BEA TUXEDO environment variables is
almost identical to modifying Windows NT environment variables.
The Variable field contains a list of the most commonly used BEA
TUXEDO environment variables.
To add or edit a variable, select the
variable, enter its value in its Value field, and click Set.
To delete a variable, click the variable you want to delete and
click Delete. Clicking OK or Apply
saves any changes made to the BEA TUXEDO environment.

NT ENVIRONMENT Control Panel
You can direct BEA TUXEDO System messages to
the Windows NT Event Log by setting the Logging page. You can
select the Logging option (Windows NT Event Log) or the
traditional ULOG (Disk File), or both. If you want traditional
ULOG messages, select the directory into which ULOG messages will
be written as well as the prefixfor the filename. The default
prefix is ULOG, and the default filename is ULOG. <mmddyy>.

NT LOGGING Control Panel
To view Event Log entries, select StartProgramsAdministrative
Tools Event Viewer. From the Event Viewer
Log window, verify that Application is checked.

NT Event Detail Window
Each message identifies the message number
and catalog that you can use to look up the description and
recommended action in the BEA TUXEDO System Message
Manual. Messages also have a type (i.e., Information,
Warning, or Error) and brief description.
You can configure one or more Tlisten
processes to start automatically when you boot up your system. On
the Listener page, enter a port number in the Port Number field
and click Add to add the service to the list.
After you click OK or Apply,
and reopen the control panel, you can start or stop Tlisten
services right on the Listener page. You can also use the Windows
NT Services control panel to start or stop a Tlisten service or
to configure the service to start automatically.
Figure 3-7 BEA TUXEDO for Windows
NT LISTENER Control Panel
You can use the Tlisten program to perform
administrative actions in an application across multiple
computers. You must start the Tlisten program on each computer
before running the application. Generally, you need one Tlisten
for each BEA TUXEDO application running on the computer.
BEA TUXEDO for Windows NT provides you with
BEA TUXEDO IPC Helper (TUXIPC), an interprocess communication
subsystem, installed with the product. On most systems, IPC
Helper runs as installed; however, you can use the Resources page
of the control panel applet to tune the TUXIPC subsystem and
maximize performance.
With the IPC control panel, you can set a
variety of IPC resources to the right of each box. In the Select
IPC Resources field, you can name a set of resources. Selecting
the default Medium disables any changes to the
parameters. If you backspace over Medium (a single
backspace removes the whole string), the parameters are made
available for changes. To add a new configuration, type New,
edit the BEA TUXEDO IPC parameters as needed, and click Set
to associate the name with the revised set of resources. Clicking
Apply saves the changes in the Registry Table.
You must then stop and then restart the tuxipc.exe service for
the changes to take effect.

TUXEDO application on the NT Performance Monitor.
