The X/OPEN document is the ultimate authority on the language and rules adhered to for the BEA Tuxedo product in an ATMI environment. Note that the X/OPEN TxRPC IDL-only interface is supported (parts of the document concerning the DCE binding and run time do not apply). The X/OPEN document is based on the OSF DCE AES/RPC document. There are several books containing tutorials and programmer's guides that can be used, although most will not contain the latest features. The programmer's guide available from OSF is OSF DCE Application Development Guide, published by Prentice-Hall (Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 07632).

The X/OPEN Preliminary Specification for TxRPC Communication Application Programming Interface is also available from X/OPEN (see above). TxRPC adds transaction support for RPCs to the original X/OPEN RPC interface.
