The following table lists the nine sections of the configuration file and describes the purpose of each section.

Section	Required or Optional	Purpose
RESOURCES	Required	Defines all system parameters.
MACHINES	Required	Specifies all the machines in your application.
GROUPS	Required	Defines all groups, group names, and group IDs for your application.
SERVERS	Optional	Specifies the initial conditions for servers started in the system.
SERVICES	Optional	Provides information on services used by the application.
INTERFACES	Optional	For CORBA environments, provides information on application-wide, default parameters for interfaces used by the application.
NETWORK	Optional	Describes the network configuration for a LAN environment.
NETGROUPS	Optional	Describes the network groups available to the application in the LAN environment.
ROUTING	Optional	Provides information for data-dependent routing of service requests using FML buffers and views.

The file must also contain a minimum of nine parameters. There are 80 different parameters, and all sections but the first, may contain multiple entries, each with its own selection of parameters. In all sections other than RESOURCES, you can use a default to specify parameters that are included in multiple entries.

You can use the command-line interface or BEA Administration Console to create the binary version of the configuration file (TUXCONFIG). First you need to determine the type of configuration you are defining in the file.

A single-machine application—one or more local or remote clients communicate with one or more servers residing on the same machine.
A multiple-machine (distributed) application—one or more local or remote clients communicate with one or more servers residing on several machines.
A multiple-domain application—two or more applications communicate with each other through the use of the BEA Tuxedo Domains extension. Each application included in such a configuration is called a domain.
