5.4.5 Step 5: Create a Configuration File

You need to add the following information to the configuration file for a transactional Oracle Tuxedo CORBA application.

• In the SERVERS section specify the transactional group for the CORBA server application and for the application that manages the database.
• In the GROUPS section define the server group. In the OPENINFO and CLOSEINFO parameters of the GROUPS section, include information to open and close the XA resource manager for the database. You obtain this information from the product documentation for your database. Note that the default version of the com.beasys.Tobj.Server.initialize() operation automatically opens the resource manager.
• Include the pathname to the transaction log (TLOG) in the TLOGDEVICE parameter. For more information about the transaction log, see Administering a Oracle Tuxedo Application at Run Time in the Oracle Tuxedo online documentation.

The following code snippet illustrates the portions of the configuration file that define this information for the Transactions sample application.
