10.1 Support for Programming a Multithreaded/Multicontexted ATMI Application

The Oracle Tuxedo system only supports:

  • Kernel-level threads packages (user-level threads packages are not supported)
  • Multithreaded applications written in C (multithreaded COBOL applications are not supported)
  • Multicontexted applications written in either C or COBOL

If your operating system supports POSIX threads functions as well as other types of threads functions, we recommend using the POSIX threads functions, which make your code easier to port to other platforms later.

To find out whether your platform supports a kernel-level threads package, C functions, or POSIX functions, see the data sheet for your operating system in Oracle Tuxedo Platform Data Sheets in Installing the Oracle Tuxedo System.
