New Features and Enhancements
BEA Tuxedo System Release 8.1 includes the following new features and enhancements:
XML Parser Integration
Release 8.1 of BEA Tuxedo incorporates the Apache Xerces C++ parser
into the BEA Tuxedo system for use by customer applications to read and write
XML data. The Xerces C++ parser is enhanced to cache DTD, XML schema, and entity
files.
Multibyte Character Encoding
Release 8.1 of the BEA Tuxedo software supports the multibyte coded character sets
required by Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian Pacific languages. BEA Tuxedo 8.1
includes a new multibyte string data typed buffer named MBSTRING for transport of
multibyte character user data.
Localized Install for Japan
Release 8.1 of BEA Tuxedo includes an installation enhancement enabling
customers to install and interface with the BEA Tuxedo system in English or Japanese.
TUXCONFIG Parameter Length Enhancement
This enhancement increases the maximum allowable length of certain BEA Tuxedo
configuration parameters from 64 or 78 to 256 characters. This enhancement is to
increase the maximum length of pathname-holding parameters to hold longer pathname
strings.
Domain Keepalive Function
The Domains keepalive functionality keeps Tuxedo interdomain connections
open during periods of inactivity, but also enables TDomain gateways
to quickly detect interdomain connection failures.
Global Maximum Transaction Timeout Enhancement
This enhancement add a global maximum transaction timeout parameter to cap ATMI
transaction timeout values that are excessively long.
Single Point Security Administration Option
This feature allows BEA Tuxedo and BEA WebLogic Server applications to share the
WebLogic Server database. THis feature applies to deployments involving a BEA Tuxedo 8.1
and WebLogic Server 7.0 or later application.
Domain Gateway Performance Improvements
The Domain gateway performance improvement requires no change in the user interface.
Performance of the TDomain gateway improved by:
Improving various internal algorithms
for scheduler and message receivers
Using cache whenever feasible to look up configuration information
Remote Domain Connection Policy Enhancement
This feature allows users to selectively establish connection on a per remote domain basis.
Multithreaded Bridge
This feature introduces a Tuxedo Bridge server process that has both single-threaded and
multithreaded execution capabilities. A configuration setting determines whether the Bridge process
is configured for single-threaded execution or multithreaded execution.
