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.
