The BEA Tuxedo system gives you a choice of several methods for performing the same set of administrative tasks for either BEA Tuxedo ATMI or CORBA environments. Whether you are more comfortable using a graphical user interface or entering commands at a shell prompt, you will be able to find a comfortable method of doing your job as the administrator of a BEA Tuxedo application. The following figure illustrates the tools you can use to write the configuration file and administer your BEA Tuxedo application during run time.

Administration Tools

BEA Administration Console—a Web-based tool used to monitor an application, and to dynamically configure its operation.
BEA Tuxedo MIB Application Programming Interface—an interface to a set of procedures for accessing and modifying information in the MIBs.

Command-line utilities—a set of commands used to manage, activate, configure, and deactivate the application (that is, tmadmin(1), tmboot(1), tmconfig, wtmconfig(1), tmshutdown(1), respectively). For more information, refer to the BEA Tuxedo Command Reference.

If You Use This Tool...	You Must...
BEA Administration Console	Use a graphical user interface (GUI) to create and edit the TUXCONFIG file. Full descriptions of the GUI are available by accessing Help directly from the GUI.
BEA Tuxedo MIB Application Programming Interface	Write a program that modifies the TUXCONFIG file for you.
Command-line interface	Create and edit the UBBCONFIG file (a text version of TUXCONFIG) with a text editor. Run tmloadcf to convert the UBBCONFIG file into a TUXCONFIG (binary) file. (For specific details about the tmloadcf command options, see tmloadcf(1) in the BEA Tuxedo Command Reference.)
