Configuring the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector

This section summarizes how to configure the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector on an NT/2000 platform.

Note: UNIX users: Make appropriate substitutions such as replacing the `\' with `/'

1. Create a WebLogic Tuxedo Connector XML configuration file by copying a bdmconfig.xml file from one of the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector examples included in the WebLogic Server Release 6.1 distribution.

   Copy .\examples\simpapp\bdmconfig.xml to .\config\mydomain\your_configuration_file.xml.

2. Edit the bdmconfig.xml file to match your application environments, including updating the NWADDR. Tuxedo 6.5 users add an Interoperate element and set the element to Yes.

3. Save the changes to your_configuration_file.xml file.

4. Validate the XML configuration file:

    > java weblogic.wtc.gwt.WTCValidateCF your_XML_configuration_file
   

5. Update the domain environment:

   > .\config\mydomain\setEnv.cmd 
   

6. Start the default server:

   > .\config\mydomain\startWebLogic.cmd
   

7. Start the WebLogic Server Console.

8. If necessary, right-click on the domain root and select Create or edit other domains. Left-click to select mydomain from the repository.

14. Enter the Arguments. If more than one argument is used, separate them using a comma. Valid arguments include:

    BDMCONFIG: This required argument specifies the location of the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector XML configuration file.

    • TraceLevel: This optional argument specifies the level of error tracing used.

      Example: BDMCONFIG=.\config\mydomain\wtc_config.xml,TraceLevel=100000
