Using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on Windows Server 2008 R2

Using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on Windows Server 2008 R2
The following sections describe some basic differences between using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on a UNIX server system and using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system:
Windows Considerations
Keep in mind the following general considerations when using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on a Windows system:
You do not need to specify the .exe suffix for executable files. The suffix is always implied for Oracle Tuxedo ATMI for Windows.
Filenames follow Windows naming conventions. For instance, names ending in .dll identify dynamically-linked libraries; names ending in .lib identify statically linked and imported libraries; names ending in .cmd identify command scripts.
All Oracle Tuxedo system executables, command scripts, and dynamically-linked libraries are located in %TUXDIR%\bin. Statically-linked libraries are located in %TUXDIR%\lib.
Configuration Issues
Keep in mind the following configuration issues when setting up the Oracle Tuxedo ATMI software on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system:
The OPENINFO string in the Oracle Tuxedo configuration file (UBBCONFIG) must be presented in the following format:
OPENINFO="resource managers:resource(s)"
For example:
OPENINFO="TUXEDO\SQL:APPDIR1\bankdl3;bankdb;readwrite"
Note:
Specifying Machine Type and User ID Numbers
In the MACHINES section of the configuration file, include the following three entries:
TYPE="WinNT"
Note:
Whenever you create a configuration file for an environment with both UNIX and Windows systems, include these entries in the MACHINES section for every Windows Server 2008 R2 node in your configuration.
Using Network Drives
For reliability purposes, Oracle recommend that you do not use network drives. If, however, you try to start an Oracle Tuxedo ATMI application on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine in which the TUXCONFIG file resides on a network drive, you must set the following permissions:
In the tuxipc service startup options, the ENTRY option must have Administrator set for Log On As This Account. The password must be the same as the administrator’s so that the tuxipc service has full administrator access rights.
Allocating and Releasing Memory Buffers
When allocating and releasing memory buffers on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system, make sure each memory buffer is released from the same heap in which it was allocated. If it is not, a segmentation fault occurs.
For example, a memory buffer that is allocated using Falloc() must be released using Ffree(). If a memory buffer allocated with malloc() is freed using Ffree(), a segmentation fault occurs. The free() routine must be used, in the latter case, to free the memory buffer.
For more information about Falloc, Falloc32(3fml)and Ffree, Ffree32(3fml), see Oracle Tuxedo ATMI FML Function Reference. For more information about malloc() and free(), see the documentation delivered with your operating system.
Using the bankapp Driver
The bankapp program is a small example application bundled with Oracle Tuxedo ATMI for Windows Server 2008 R2. Besides demonstrating the operation of Oracle Tuxedo ATMI and providing an example of Oracle Tuxedo ATMI application code, the %APPDIR%\UBB file generated by the bankapp driver (driver.exe is located in %TUXDIR%\APPS\bankapp\2003\driver) can act as a template for configurations for any new applications.
Starting Oracle Tuxedo ATMI Applications Automatically
When Oracle Tuxedo ATMI is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server system, it may be useful to configure the machine to start an Oracle Tuxedo ATMI application automatically when booting up your system using the srvany.exe utility program provided in Microsoft’s Resource Kit for Windows 2003. For configuration instructions, see srvany.wri and rktools.hlp.
To ensure proper operation of Oracle Tuxedo ATMI programs that start automatically when booting up, you must set the Oracle Tuxedo system environment variables %TUXDIR% and %NLSPATH%. Set these variables using the conventional Windows 2003 method or by using the Oracle Administration program, as explained in “Setting and Modifying Environment Variables” on page 2‑4.
