   Installing the BEA Tuxedo System

Rebuilding an Application

Now that you have successfully installed the BEA Tuxedo system, you need to rebuild all application clients and servers that you want to execute on a system upgraded to Release 7.1. You should also remove any old TUXCONFIG files and reload them using the newly installed tmloadcf(1).

If your BEA Tuxedo system applications are distributed, then the master and backup master nodes must run the highest release of the BEA Tuxedo system of any nodes in the configuration. Other nodes, including workstation clients, may continue to use executables from an earlier release. For example, even if your master and backup master are running Release 7.1, Release 6.1 or later may still be used on other nodes.

There is one important exception to the "highest release" rule. If you wish to install Release 7.1 only on workstation clients, and you do not want to upgrade any of your BEA Tuxedo system server nodes to Release 7.1, you may do so. In other words, with any release level beginning with 6.1, workstation clients may be intermixed freely in a configuration in which the master is running Release 6.1 or later.

Note: Workstation clients running BEA Tuxedo Release 4.2.2 or higher can interoperate with BEA Tuxedo servers running Release 6.1 or higher.

Threaded Access to Libraries
