Tuxedo Middleware
In electronic term, Tuxedo is a middleware platform used to manage distributed transaction processing in distributed computing environments. Tuxedo is a transaction processing system or transaction oriented middleware, or enterprise application server for C, C++, and COBOL.
Tuxedo was designed from the beginning for high availability and to provide extremely scalable applications allowing Tuxedo to support applications requiring thousands of transactions per second on commonly available distributed systems. One of the first applications within AT&T for Tuxedo was to support moving the LMOS application off mainframe systems on to much cheaper distributed systems.
Tuxedo has been used as transactional middleware by a number of multi-tier application development tools. Tuxedo is at its core a message routing and queuing system. Requests are sent to named services and Tuxedo uses memory based inter-process communication acilities to queue the requests to servers. The requester is unaware of where the server that actually processes the request is located or how it is implemented. In essence, Tuxedo provided the elements of Service - oriented architecture (SOA) decades before the phrase Service-oriented architecture was coined. Tuxedo can use the content of the message to determine what servers should be utilized to receive the request by means of data dependent routing.
Bea Tuxedo
The BEA Tuxedo product features the integration of BEA Systems, Inc. industry-leading technologies–two programming interfaces (ATMI and CORBA C++), a high performance C++ application server, a Transaction Monitor, and a proven, scalable, reliable, and manageable back-end transaction platform, the BEA Tuxedo infrastructure.
Tuxedo MQ Adapter
Object files for the Tuxedo MQ Adapter are included as part of the standard Tuxedo distribution. After customizing the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file with any values specific to the MQ installation being used, the Tuxedo administrator uses the buildmqadapter(1) command to build the MQ adapter executables. The Tuxedo administrator also needs to use the buildtms(1) command to build the TMS for the WebSphere MQ Resource manager. This chapter describes the process of building the MQ Adapter executables.
Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA is a domains-based connectivity product that provides bidirectional connectivity between Oracle Tuxedo clients or servers and IBM mainframe applications.
