2.1.3 Administration Tools

The Oracle Tuxedo CORBA programming environment provides a complete set of tools for administering your CORBA applications. You can manage Oracle Tuxedo CORBA applications through commands, by including administration utilities in a script.

You can use the commands listed in the following table to perform administration tasks for your CORBA application.

Table 2-2 Administration Commands

Administration Command	Description
tmadmin	Displays information about current configuration parameters.
tmboot	Activates the Oracle Tuxedo CORBA application referenced in the specified configuration file. Depending on the options used, the entire application or parts of the application are started.
tmconfig	Dynamically updates and retrieves information about the configuration of a Oracle Tuxedo CORBA application.
tmloadcf	Parses the configuration file and loads the binary version of the configuration file.
tmshutdown	Shuts down a set of specified server applications, or removes interfaces from a configuration file.
tmunloadcf	Unloads the configuration file.

A set of utilities called the AdminAPI is provided for directly accessing and manipulating system settings in the Management Information Bases (MIBs) for the Oracle Tuxedo product. The advantage of the AdminAPI is that it can be used to automate administrative tasks, such as monitoring log files and dynamically reconfiguring an application, thus eliminating the need for manual intervention.

For information about the Administration commands, see File Formats, Data Descriptions, MIBs, and System Processes Reference in the Oracle Tuxedo online documentation.
