ARTIGW is an Oracle Tuxedo server that acts as a bridge between non-terminal clients and the ARTIMPP server. Its main duties are as follows:

• Advertises separated services to handle the requests from non-terminal Oracle Tuxedo clients and requests from MQ applications.
• Message Mapping.

  For MQ application request messages, it converts an MQ message to a format that can be used by ARTIMPP. For reply messages, it converts an ARTIMPP reply message to an MQ message.

  For non-terminal Oracle Tuxedo client request messages, ARTIGW plays a role in transferring client FML32 buffers to a message format that the program needs and sends the message to MPP. It then decodes the MPP message and then sends a standard FML32 buffer to the client.

• Session Management.

  Session management is used to associate the asynchronous ARTIMPP reply with the original ARTIGW client requests.
