The BEA Tuxedo MIB contains all the information necessary for the operation of an application. The MIB is designed to be programmable, so that you can write custom administrative programs. Administrative tools are constructed around the MIB and provide different types of interfaces to it. These tools include the following:

BEA Administration Console—a Web-based tool used to monitor an application, and to dynamically configure it.
BEA Tuxedo administrative servers—servers that automate most of the management tasks for a distributed application, such as naming services and events, starting up and shutting down an application, dynamically reconfiguring an application, and so on.
BEA Tuxedo MIB application programming interface—a set of functions for accessing and modifying information in the MIB.
Command-line utilities—a set of commands used to activate, deactivate, configure, and manage an application (that is, tmboot, tmshutdown, tmconfig, and tmadmin, respectively). (See the BEA Tuxedo Command Reference.)
EventBroker—a mechanism that informs administrators of faults or exceptional happenings.
Tools to Administer Your Application

Available BEA Tuxedo MIBs

The Management Information Base comprises a core MIB, which is common to all applications, and several component MIBs, which are optional. The core MIB, called TM_MIB, defines the parts of an application that are required in every BEA Tuxedo application. It is also used to administer those parts of an application. TM_MIB defines a BEA Tuxedo system application as a set of classes (for example, servers, groups, machines, domains), each of which is made up of objects that are characterized by various attributes (for example, identity and state).

Each of the component MIBs describes a subsystem of the BEA Tuxedo system. The following components are currently available:

ACL_MIB—used to administer Access Control Lists
APPQ_MIB—used to administer application stable-storage queues
DM_MIB—used to administer Tuxedo domains
EVENT_MIB—used to control event notification and the subscription request database
WS_MIB—used to manage Workstation groups and processes associated with them
