The webMethods Tuxedo Adapter is an add-on to the webMethods Integration Server that enables you to exchange data between an Integration Server and a BEA Jolt server, an interface to the BEA Tuxedo application server. The Tuxedo Adapter provides seamless and real-time communication with the application server.

The Tuxedo Adapter provides a service template that enables you to configure and manage adapter connections and adapter services. The adapter services are linked to specific Tuxedo services and can be used on their own or included in flows or Java services built to implement business processes.

Using functionality provided by the adapter, a client can connect to the Jolt server and invoke Tuxedo services. For example, you can use the Tuxedo Adapter to create an adapter service that updates account information by calling a service in a Tuxedo application.
