Buffer Type (TA_BUFTYPE)

Description

A list of types and subtypes of data buffers accepted by this service.

Valid Values

A string of 1 to 256 characters, of the following format:

type1[:subtype1[,subtype2 ...]][;type2[:subtype3[, ...]]] ...

Types of data buffers provided with BEA Tuxedo:

Of these types, only VIEW, X_C_TYPE, and X_COMMON have subtypes. A view subtype gives the name of the particular view expected by the service. Application types and subtypes can also be added (see the UNIX manpage on tuxtypes(5)). For a type that has subtypes, an asterisk can be specified for the subtype to indicate that the service accepts all subtypes for the associated type.

A single service can interpret only a fixed number of buffer types, namely those found in its buffer type switch (see the UNIX manpage on tuxtypes(5)). If this parameter is set to ALL, that service will accept all buffer types found in its buffer type switch. Leaving this field blank is equivalent to setting it to ALL. If multiple entries exist for the same service name but with different SRVGRP parameters, this parameter must be the same for all of these entries.

A maximum of 32 type/subtype combinations are allowed. A type name can be 8 characters or less in length and a subtype name can be 16 characters or less in length. Type and subtype names should not contain semicolon, colon, comma, or asterisk characters; otherwise it is difficult to see where type and subtype values end.

The default is ALL.

Example

The following specifies that the service takes FML buffers:

FML

The following specifies that the service takes all FML views:
