T_WSL Class Definition

T_WSL Class Definition

Overview

The T_WSL class represents configuration and run-time attributes of WSL server processes configured to manage Workstation groups. These attribute values identify and characterize Workstation specific configuration attributes for WSL T_SERVER objects within the application. This class is linked to the T_WSH class by the common key fields, TA_SRVGRP and TA_SRVID.

( * ) - GET/SET key, one or more required for SET operations

1If a value for this attribute is not specified at the time the object is created, then a value of 0 will be assigned. A value of 0 for this attribute indicates that the effective value is determined at activation time from the current setting for TA_MAXHANDLERS and the T_MACHINE class setting for TA_MAXWSCLIENTS. Note that a GET operation with the MIB_LOCAL flag set will get the effective value for objects with an activation time default setting.

Attribute Semantics

TA_SRVGRP: string[1..30]
Logical name of the server group. Server group names cannot contain an asterisk (*), comma, or colon.

TA_SRVID: 1 = num 30,001
Unique (within the server group) server identification number.

TA_GRPNO: 1 = num 30,000
Group number associated with this servers group.

TA_STATE:
State for the WSL server within the application. Any state defined for the T_SERVER class in TM_MIB(5) may be returned or set as indicated on that reference page.

TA_LMID: LMID
Current logical machine on which the server is running.

TA_PID: 1 = num
Native operating system process identifier for the WSL server. Note that this may not be a unique attribute since servers may be located on different machines allowing for duplication of process identifiers.

TA_DEVICE: string[0..78]
Device name to be used by the WSL process to access the network. This attribute is optional.

TA_NADDR: string[1..78]
Specifies the complete network address to be used by the WSL process as its listening address. The listening address for a WSL is the means by which it is contacted by workstation client processes participating in the application. If string has the form "0xhex-digits" or "\\xhex-digits", it must contain an even number of valid hex digits. These forms are translated internally into a character array containing TCP/IP addresses may also be in either of the following two forms:

//host.name:port_number

//#.#.#.#:port_number

In the first of these formats, hostname is resolved to a TCP/IP host address at the time the address is bound using the locally configured name resolution facilities accessed via gethostbyname(3c). The #.#.#.# is the dotted decimal format where each # represents a decimal number in the range 0 to 255. Port_number is a decimal number in the range 0 to 65535. the hexadecimal representations of the string specified.

TA_EXT_NADDR: string[0..78]
Specifies the complete network address to be used as a well known address template of the WSH process. The address will be combined with a WSH network address to generate a well known network address used by the workstation client to connect to a WSH process. It has the same format as the TA_NADDR except that it substitutes the port number with same length of character M to indicate the position of the combined network address will be copied from the WSH network address. For example when Address template is 0x0002MMMMdddddddd and WSH network address is 0x00021111ffffffff then the well known network address will be 0x00021111dddddddd. When address template starts with "//" network address type assumes to be IP based and the TCP/IP port number of WSH network address will be copied into the address template to form the combined network address. This feature is useful when workstation client needs to connect to a WSH through a router which performs Network Address Translation. Empty TA_EXT_NADDR string in a SET operation on an existing T_WSL object will eliminate the -H entry from the TA_CLOPT attribute.

TA_WSHNAME: string[1..78]
The name of the executable providing workstation handler services for this workstation listener. The default for this is WSH which corresponds to the system provided workstation handler. Workstation handlers may be customized using the command buildwsh(1). See the Customization section and the buildwsh(1) reference page for more details.

TA_MINHANDLERS: 0 = num 256
The minimum number of handlers that should be available in conjunction with this WSL at any given time. The WSL will start this many WSHs immediately upon being activated and will not deplete the supply of WSHs below this number until the administrator issues a shutdown to the WSL. Modifications to this attribute for a running WSL may cause additional handlers to be activated.

TA_MAXHANDLERS: 0 = num 32,767
The maximum number of handlers that should be available in conjunction with this WSL at any given time. Handlers are started as necessary to meet the demand of workstation clients attempting to access the system. This attribute must be greater than or equal to the setting for the minumum number of handlers.

TA_MULTIPLEX: 1 = num 32,767
Maximum number of clients that are to be supported by any one handler process concurrently.

TA_MINENCRYPTBITS={0|40|128}
When connecting to the BEA TUXEDO system, require at least this minimum level of encryption. "0" means no encryption, while "40" and "128" specify the encryption key length (in bits). If this minimum level of encryption cannot be met, link establishment will fail. The default is "0".

TA_ MAXENCRYPTBITS={0|40|128}
When connecting to the BEA TUXEDO system, negotiate encryption up to this level. "0" means no encryption, whilc "40" and "128" specify the encryption length (in bits). The default is "128"

TA_MINWSHPORT: 0 = num 65,535
The lower end of the range of available port numbers that may be allocated to WSH processes by this listener.

TA_MAXWSHPORT: 0 = num 65,535
The upper end of the range of available port numbers that may be allocated to WSH processes by this listener.

TA_MAXIDLETIME: 0 = num 35,204,650
Maximum amount of time, in minutes, that a workstation client is permitted to be idle before it will be abortively disconnected from the application by the handler. A value of 35,204,650 allows clients to be idle as long as they wish without being timed out. A value of 0 indicates clients may be terminated after any period of inactivity greater than 1 second.

TA_MAXINITTIME: 1 = num 32,767
The minimum number of seconds that should be allowed for a workstation client to complete initialization processing through the WSH before being timed out by the WSL.

TA_CMPLIMIT: threshold
Threshold message size at which compression will occur for traffic to and from workstation clients. >threshold may be either non-negative numeric values of the string ''MAXLONG,'' which is dynamically translated to the maximum long setting for the machine. Limitation: This attribute value is not used for workstation clients running BEA TUXEDO system Workstation Release 6.1 or earlier.

TA_CLOPT: string[0..128]
Command line options to be passed to WSL server when it is activated. See the servopts(5) reference page for details. Limitations: Run-time modifications to this attribute will not affect a running WSL server. Server specific options (i.e., those after a double-dash "--") may not be set and will not be returned.

TA_ENVFILE: string[0..78]
WSL server specific environment file. See T_MACHINE:TA_ENVFILE for a complete discussion of how this file is used to modify the environment. Limitation: Run-time modifications to this attribute will not affect a running WSL server.

TA_GRACE: 0 = num
The period of time, in seconds, over which the T_WSL:TA_MAXGEN limit applies. This attribute is meaningful only for restartable WSL servers, i.e., if the T_WSL:TA_RESTART attribute is set to "Y". When a restarting server would exceed the TA_MAXGEN limit but the TA_GRACE period has expired, the system resets the current generation (T_SERVER:TA_GENERATION) to 1 and resets the initial boot time (T_SERVER:TA_TIMESTART) to the current time. A value of 0 for this attribute indicates that the WSL server should always be restarted.

TA_KEEPALIVE:{client | handler | both | none}
Here you can turn on the network keep-alive operation for the client, the handler, or both. You may also turn off this operation for both the client and handler by specifying none.

Changes to the value of this attribute affect only new connections.

TA_MAXGEN: 1 = num 256
Number of generations allowed for a restartable WSL server (T_WSL:TA_RESTART == "Y") over the specified grace period (T_WSL:TA_GRACE). The initial activation of the WSL server counts as one generation and each restart also counts as one. Processing after the maximum generations is exceeded is discussed above with respect to TA_GRACE.

TA_NETTIMEOUT:0 <= num <= MAXLONG
The value of TA_NETTIMEOUT is the minimum number of seconds that a workstation client is allowed to wait to receive a response from the WSL/WSH. A value of 0 indicates no network time-out.

Changes to the value of this attribute affect only new connections.

TA_RCMD: string[0..78]
Application specified command to be executed in parallel with the system restart of an application server. This command must be an executable file in the native operating system.

TA_RESTART: {Y|N}
Restartable ("Y") or non-restartable ("N") WSL server. If server migration is specified for this server group (T_RESOURCE:TA_OPTIONS/MIGRATE T_GROUP:TA_LMID w/ alternate site), then this attribute must be set to "Y".

TA_SEQUENCE: 1 = num 10,000
Specifies when this server should be booted ( tmboot(1)) or shutdown ( tmshutdown(1)) relative to other servers. T_WSL objects added without a TA_SEQUENCE attribute specified or with an invalid value will have one generated for them that is 10,000 or more and is higher than any other automatically selected default. Servers are booted by tmboot(1) in increasing order of sequence number and shutdown by tmshutdown(1) in decreasing order. Run-time modifications to this attribute affect only tmboot(1) and tmshutdown(1) and will affect the order in which running servers may be shutdown by a subsequent invocation of tmshutdown(1).

TA_CURHANDLERS: 0 = num
Number of currently active handlers associated with this WSL.

TA_HWHANDLERS: 0 = num
Maximum number of currently active handlers associated with this WSL at any one time.

TA_WSPROTO: 0 = num
The BEA TUXEDO system Workstation protocol version number for this Workstation group. Note that Workstation clients connecting to this group may themselves have a different protocol version number associated with them.

TA_SUSPENDED: {NEW|ALL|NONE}
A value of NEW indicates that new incoming clients may not connect through this WSL object. A value of ALL indicates that workstation clients already connected to the application through this WSL have been suspended (see TM_MIB(5)) in addition to disallowing new incoming connections. A value of NONE indicates that no suspension characteristics are in effect.

TA_VIEWREFRESH: Y
Setting a value of Y will cause all active WSHs in the Workstation group to refresh their VIEW buffer type cache.

Limitations

This class represents a specialization of the T_SERVER class and as such represents certain attributes that are duplicated in the corresponding T_SERVER objects. Attributes not listed that are included in the T_SERVER class must be accessed via that class and are not available through the T_WSL class.

Diagnostics

There are two general types of errors that may be returned to the user when interfacing with WS_MIB(5). First, any of the three ATMI verbs ( tpcall(3), tpgetrply(3) and tpdequeue(3)) used to retrieve responses to administrative requests may return any error defined for them. These errors should be interpreted as described on the appropriate reference pages.

If, however, the request is successfully routed to a system service capable of satisfying the request and that service determines that there is a problem handling the request, then failure may be returned in the form of an application level service failure. In these cases, tpcall(3) and tpgetrply(3) will return an error with tperrno set to TPESVCFAIL and return a reply message containing the original request along with TA_ERROR, TA_STATUS and TA_BADFLD fields further qualifying the error as described below. When a service failure occurs for a request forwarded to the system through the TMQFORWARD(5) server, the failure reply message will be enqueued to the failure queue identified on the original request (assuming the -d option was specified for TMQFORWARD).

When a service failure occurs during processing of an administrative request, the FML32 field TA_STATUS is set to a textual description of the failure, the FML32 field TA_ERROR is set to indicate the cause of the failure as indicated below. All error codes specified below are guaranteed to be negative.

[other]
Other error return codes generic to any component MIB are specified in the MIB(5) reference page. These error codes are guaranteed to be mutually exclusive with any WS_MIB(5) specific error codes defined here.

The following diagnostic codes are returned in TA_ERROR to indicate successful completion of an administrative request. These codes are guaranteed to be non-negative.

[other]
Other return codes generic to any component MIB are specified in the MIB(5) reference page. These return codes are guaranteed to be mutually exclusive with any WS_MIB(5) specific return codes defined here.

Interoperability

The header files and field tables defined in this reference page are available on BEA TUXEDO system release 5.0 and later. Fields defined in these headers and tables will not be changed from release to release. New fields may be added which are not defined on the older release site. Access to the /AdminAPI is available from any site with the header files and field tables necessary to build a request. The T_WSL and T_WSH classes are new with BEA TUXEDO system release 6.0; therefore, local administration of WSL and WSH processes on earlier release sites via the /AdminAPI is not available. However, many of the administrative actions defined in this reference page are available for pre-release 6.0 sites if they are interoperating with a release 6.0 site. If sites of differing releases, both greater than or equal to release 6.0, are interoperating, then information on the older site is available for access and update as defined in the MIB reference page for that release and may be a subset of the information available in the later release.

Portability

The existing FML32 and ATMI functions necessary to support administrative interaction with BEA TUXEDO system MIBs, as well as the header file and field table defined in this reference page, are available on all supported native and workstation platforms.

Example

Following is a sequence of code fragments that deactivate a Workstation group in an orderly fashion using a combination of TM_MIB(5) and WS_MIB(5).

Field Tables

The field table tpadm must be available in the environment to have access to attribute field identifiers. This can be done at the shell level as follows:

$ FIELDTBLS=tpadm
$ FLDTBLDIR=${TUXDIR}/udataobj
$ export FIELDTBLS FLDTBLDIR

Header Files

The following header files are included. #include <atmi.h>
#include <fml32.h>
#include <tpadm.h>

Suspend Workstation Group

The following code fragment sets the state of the Workstation group to SUSpended. This disables the Workstation group from accepting new connections from workstation clients and suspends all workstation clients that are currently part of the group. This code fragment and those that follow assume that the local variables ta_srvgrp and ta_srvid are already set to identify the Workstation group with which we are working.

/* Allocate input and output buffers */ ibuf = tpalloc("FML32", NULL, 1000);
obuf = tpalloc("FML32", NULL, 1000);
/* Set MIB(5) attributes defining request type */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "SET", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_CLASS, 0, "T_WSL", 0);
/* Set WS_MIB(5) attributes */

/* Make the request */
if (tpcall(".TMIB", (char *)ibuf, 0, (char **)obuf, olen, 0) 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "tpcall failed: %s\en", tpstrerror(tperrno));
if (tperrno == TPESVCFAIL) {
Fget32(obuf, TA_ERROR, 0,(char *)ta_error, NULL);
ta_status = Ffind32(obuf, TA_STATUS, 0, NULL);
fprintf(stderr, "Failure: %ld, %s\en",
ta_error, ta_status);
}
/* Additional error case processing */
}
/* Copy the logical machine identifier for later use */
strcpy(ta_lmid, Ffind32(obuf, TA_LMID, 0, NULL));

Get List of WSH Objects

Using the existing input buffer, simply change the class and operation and make a new request. We'll retrieve all T_WSH objects associated with the given T_WSL object key fields, ta_srvgrp and ta_srvid. Set the TA_FILTER attribute to limit the retrieval for efficiency.

/* Set MIB(5) attributes defining request type */ Fchg32(ibuf, TA_CLASS, 0, "T_WSH", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "GET", 0);
longval = TA_WSHCLIENTID;
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_FILTER, 0, (char *)longval, 0);
/* Set WS_MIB(5) attributes */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_LMID, 0, ta_lmid, 0);
/* Allocate a separate output buffer to save the TA_WSHCLIENTID values */
wshcltids = tpalloc("FML32", NULL, 1000);
/* Make the request */
tpcall(".TMIB", (char *)ibuf, 0, (char **)wshcltids, olen, 0);
/* See how many we got */
Fget32(wshcltids, TA_OCCURS, 0,(char *)wshcltcnt, NULL);

Get T_CLIENT Objects

Use the retrieved TA_WSHCLIENTID values to get a list of associated TA_CLIENTID values for workstation clients in this Workstation group.

/* Initialize request buffer */ Finit32(ibuf, Fsizeof32(ibuf));
/* Set MIB(5) attributes defining request type */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "GET", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_CLASS, 0, "T_CLIENT", 0);
longval = TA_CLIENTID;
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_FILTER, 0, (char *)longval, 0);
longval = TA_WSHCLIENTID;
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_FILTER, 1, (char *)longval, 0);
/* Set WS_MIB(5) attributes */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_LMID, 0, ta_lmid, 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_WSC, 0, "Y", 0);
if (wshcltcnt == 1) {
/* Since only 1, use it as key field. */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_WSHCLIENTID, 0,
Ffind32(wshcltids, TA_WSHCLIENTID, 0, NULL));
}
/* Allocate output buffer to save TA_CLIENTID/TA_WSHCLIENTID values */
cltids = tpalloc("FML32", NULL, 1000);
/* Make the request */
tpcall(".TMIB", (char *)ibuf, 0, (char **)cltids, olen, 0);
/* See how many we got */
Fget32(cltids, TA_OCCURS, 0,(char *)cltcnt, NULL);
/* Eliminate unassociated clients if necessary */
if (wshcltcnt > 1) {
for (i=(cltcnt-1); i >= 0 ;i--) {
p = Ffind32(cltids, TA_WSHCLIENTID, i, NULL);
for (j=0; j wshcltcnt ;j++) {
q = Ffind32(wshcltids, TA_WSHCLIENTID, j, NULL);
if (strcmp(p, q) == 0) {
break; /* This client is in our group */
}
}
if (j >= wshcltcnt) {
/* Client not found, delete it from list */
Fdel32(cltids, TA_CLIENTID, i);
Fdel32(cltids, TA_WSHCLIENTID, i);
cltcnt--;
}
}
}

Notify T_CLIENT Objects

Use the retrieved TA_CLIENTID values to notify workstation clients in this Workstation group that they should logoff.

notstr = tpalloc("STRING", NULL, 100);
(void)strcpy(notstr, "Please logoff now!");

/* Now loop through affected clients and suspend/notify them */
for (i=0; i cltcnt ;i++) {
p = Ffind32(cltids, TA_CLIENTID, i, NULL);

/* Notify the client to logoff */
tpconvert(p, (char *)ci, TPCONVCLTID);
tpnotify(ci, notptr, 0, 0);
}

Deactivate Remaining T_CLIENT Objects

Use the retrieved TA_CLIENTID values to deactivate any remaining workstation clients in this Workstation group. Note that those that are already gone will return an error on the SET that we will ignore.

/* Initialize request buffer */ 
Finit32(ibuf, Fsizeof32(ibuf));
/* Set MIB(5) attributes defining request type */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "SET", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_CLASS, 0, "T_CLIENT", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_STATE, 0, "DEAd", 0);

/* Now loop through affected clients and deactivate them */
for (i=0; i cltcnt ;i++) {
p = Ffind32(cltids, TA_CLIENTID, i, NULL);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_CLIENTID, 0, p);

/* Make the request */
tpcall(".TMIB", (char *)ibuf, 0, (char **)obuf, olen, 0);
}

Deactivate T_WSL Object

Now deactivate the T_WSL object. This will automatically deactivate any associated active T_WSH objects.

/* Set MIB(5) attributes defining request type */ 
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "SET", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_CLASS, 0, "T_WSL", 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_STATE, 0, "INActive", 0);

/* Set WS_MIB(5) attributes */
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_SRVGRP, 0, ta_srvgrp, 0);
Fchg32(ibuf, TA_SRVID, 0, (char *)ta_srvid, 0);

/* Make the request */
tpcall(".TMIB", (char *)ibuf, 0, (char **)obuf, olen, 0);
}
