Tuxedo Adapter connections contain parameters that the Integration Server uses to manage connections to the Jolt server, using the Jolt API. The Tuxedo Adapter then uses these connections to provide adapter services. You can configure connections using the Integration Server Administrator (you must have Integration Server administrator privileges to access the Tuxedo Adapter administrative screens).

Tuxedo Adapter connections are based on one connection template. This template creates connections that can be used in non-distributed, local transactions.

You create one or more connections at design time to use in integrations. The number of connections you create depend on your integration needs. For example, if you are invoking services from different Tuxedo applications, you might require different user names and passwords for each application, based on your application access and role.

For instructions to configure, view, edit, enable, and disable Tuxedo Adapter connections, see Adapter Connections. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.

For a list of tasks that you must complete before you can create your connections, see Before Creating Adapter Connections.
