Servers-A BEA Tuxedo server is a process that oversees a set of services and dispatches services automatically for clients that request them. A service, in turn, is a function within the server program that performs a particular task needed by a business. A bank, for example, might have one service that accepts deposits and another that reports account balances. A server at this bank might receive requests from clients for both services. It is the server's job to dispatch each request to the appropriate service.
