Introducing the BEA Tuxedo System

The AdminAPI is an application programming interface (API) for directly accessing and manipulating system settings in the BEA Tuxedo Management Information Bases (MIBs). You can use the AdminAPI to automate administrative tasks, such as monitoring log files and dynamically reconfiguring an application, thus eliminating the need for human intervention. This advantage can be crucially important in mission-critical, real-time applications. Using the MIB programming interface, you can manage operations in the BEA Tuxedo system easily. Specifically, you can monitor, configure, and tune your application through your own programs. The MIB can be defined as:

An implementation-independent management database defined as a set of FML attributes
A programming interface that enables you to query the BEA Tuxedo system (that is, to obtain information from the system through a get operation) or to update the BEA Tuxedo system (that is, to change information in the system through a set operation) at any time using a set of ATMI functions. Examples of these functions include tpalloc, tprealloc, tpgetrply, tpcall, tpacall, tpenqueue, and tpdequeue.
