   Setting Up a BEA Tuxedo Application

Defining Workstation Clients

Before a Workstation client can join a BEA Tuxedo application, the application environment must be prepared to accommodate it. The BEA Tuxedo system provides the variables described in the following table for setting up your environment. Two (TUXDIR and WSNADDR) are required; the rest are optional. Defaults are available for all parameters except WSENVFILE.

To specify . . .

Set This Environment Variable . . .

The application password. (Useful only for applications in which security is implemented through password usage.) Clients that run from scripts can get the application password from this variable.

APP_PW (optional)

The maximum number of significant bits of the encryption key for link-level encryption. Value can be 0 (if no encryption is used), or 40, 56, or 128 (if the number specified is the number of significant bits in the encryption key).

TMMAXENCRYPTBITS (optional)

The minimum number of significant bits of the encryption key for link-level encryption. Value can be 0 (if no encryption is used), or 40, 56, or 128 (if the number specified is the number of significant bits in the encryption key).

TMMINENCRYPTBITS (optional)

The directory in which replies are stored when the WSRPLYMAX limit has been reached. The default is the working directory.

TMPDIR (optional)

The location of the BEA Tuxedo system software on this workstation. The client cannot connect unless this environment variable is set.

TUXDIR (required)

The network device to be used. The default is an empty string.

WSDEVICE (optional)

The name of the file in which all environment variables may be set. There is no default for this variable.

WSENVFILE (optional)

The network address used by the workstation client when connecting to the workstation listener or workstation handler. This variable, along with the WSFRANGE variable, determines the range of TCP/IP ports to which a workstation client attempts to bind before making an outbound connection. This address must be a TCP/IP address

WSFADDR (optional)

The range of TCP/IP ports to which a workstation client process attempts to bind before making an outbound connection. The WSFADDR parameter specifies the base address of the range.

WSFRANGE (optional)

A list of one or more network addresses of the WSL that the client wants to contact. This address must match the address of a WSL process in the application configuration file.

WSNADDR (required)

The amount of core memory to be used for buffering application replies. The default is 256,000 bytes.

WSRPLYMAX (optional)

The machine type. If the value of WSTYPE matches the value of TYPE in the configuration file for the WSL machine, no encoding/decoding is performed. The default is the empty string.

WSTYPE (optional)
