Configuring WebLogic Tuxedo Connector for Tuxedo transport

AquaLogic Service Bus Tuxedo transport enables access to BEA Tuxedo services using WebLogic Tuxedo Connector (WTC). To use the Tuxedo transport, you must configure a basic WTC server including one local access point and one remote access point.

The following sections describe how to configure WTC:

 

Before You Begin

Gather the following information about the Tuxedo application that AquaLogic Service Bus will use:

 

Configuring WebLogic Tuxedo Connector

You no longer need to use WebLogic Server to configure WebLogic Tuxedo Connector; for ease-of-use, WebLogic Tuxedo Connector is pre-configured with default values. However, to change the defaults, for example, to specify a different connection policy or change the security parameters, you must use the WebLogic Server Administration Console or WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST). For additional information about the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector, see WebLogic Tuxedo Connector in the WebLogic Server documentation.

To use BEA Tuxedo services from AquaLogic Service Bus, follow the instructions in Configuring a New Business Service. To use AquaLogic Service Bus services from BEA Tuxedo, see Adding and Configuring a Proxy Service.

If desired, you can configure WebLogic Tuxedo Connector using the WebLogic Server Administration Console. Log in to the console and perform the configuration steps in the order presented, using the instructions in the following sections.

For detailed procedural information, see the WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.

Create a New WTC Server

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit; this allows you to make changes.
  2. In the left pane of the Console, expand Interoperability and select WTC Servers.
  3. On the Summary of WTC Servers page, click New.
  4. Enter a name for the WTC server and click OK.

    5. A message at the top of the Summary of WTC Servers page indicates that the server was created successfully.

  5. In the WTC Servers table, click the WTC server name to display its settings.

Create a Local Access Point

Follow these steps:

  1. On the Configuration tab, select Local APs and click New.
  2. Enter the following values:

    3. Access Point – A name for this access point.

    Access Point ID – The unique name WebLogic Server will use to refer to the access point. This value must match the remote access point ID that the Tuxedo domain gateway has been configured to use for this WTC instance.

    Network Address – This value must match the remote network address that the Tuxedo domain gateway has been configured to use for this WTC instance.

  3. Click OK.

Create a Remote Access Point

Follow these steps:

  1. On the Configuration tab, select Remote APs and click New.
  2. Enter the following values:

    3. Access Point – A name for this access point.

    Access Point ID – The unique name WebLogic Server will use to refer to the access point. This value must match the local access point ID that the Tuxedo domain gateway has been configured to use for this WTC instance.

    Local Access Point – The name of WTC local access point.

    Network Address – This value must match the local network address that the Tuxedo domain gateway has been configured to use for this WTC instance.

  3. Click OK.

Activate Changes

To activate the changes you made, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.

Create a User ID

In order to allow a remote Tuxedo domain to perform inbound calls, the connection should be identified. If a remote Tuxedo domain calls a service advertised by AquaLogic Service Bus, running the client as is will result in an error “8” (TPEPERM: permission denied) being returned. To allow inbound calls, you should create a user in the default security realm with the same name as the remote Tuxedo domain access point ID.

Note: You do not need to be in a session to create a user.

Perform the following steps to add the user TUXDOM:

  1. In the left pane of the Console, select Security Realms.
  2. On the Summary of Security Realms page, click the realm name (for example, myrealm or your default realm name if your security settings have been customized).
  3. Select Users and Groups > Users, and click New.
  4. In the Name field of the Create New User page, enter TUXDOM.
  5. Enter a password and confirm it. It is not necessary to remember the password value.
  6. Click OK.

    7. The user has been created and incoming requests can be processed.
